Abstract
Jewelry and body piercings are widely practiced cultural and fashion expressions, particularly in areas such as the ears, nose, and eyebrows. However, a significant number of individuals experience adverse reactions, including inflammation and persistent discomfort, commonly referred to as jewelry allergies. These allergic reactions are frequently triggered by exposure to metals like nickel, cobalt, and chromium, known allergens that can induce skin sensitivity. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach for managing such allergies. Ayurvedic treatment emphasizes the use of herbal remedies, dietary adjustments, and topical applications to alleviate inflammation and promote tissue repair. Commonly employed herbs such as *Azadirachta indica* (Neem), *Curcuma longa* (Turmeric), and *Aloe barbadensis* (Aloe Vera) are renowned for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and skin-soothing properties. Furthermore, Ayurveda advocates the use of hypoallergenic metals like gold and silver, which are traditionally recognized for their therapeutic benefits, to prevent allergic reactions.
This paper explores Ayurvedic strategies for managing jewelry-related allergies and complications arising from body piercings. It examines the therapeutic efficacy of natural remedies, preventative approaches, and the role of lifestyle and dietary interventions. The integration of Ayurvedic principles with modern insights into allergic responses offers a comprehensive framework for the effective management of jewelry-induced allergies and complications.
