  1. Reading your article from the intro part above to the end, I didn't find any statement about red food able to heal skin allergy.

    Do you have any method through Ayurvedic treatment related to my question at the first paragraph?

    Referring to your article at the third paragraph stated that "Oranges and other citrus fruits have the good vitamin C, which keeps our immune system strong" - I do understand that allergy problem has relation with human body immunity system.

    Really hoping for your answer in your follow up comment. Thanks in advance.
