Allergy Panel - Food Spices Panel Basil (Tulsi)

The Allergy Panel - Food Spices Panel is a diagnostic test that identifies whether or not you are allergic to common spices, including basil (tulsi), black pepper, cardamom, chili pepper, clove, coriander, and mustard. This is accomplished by measuring the amount of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in your blood, a type of antibody that the body produces in response to substances it identifies as harmful.

Food allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to harmless proteins found in certain foods. In response, it releases IgE antibodies to neutralize the perceived threat. This can cause a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, such as skin rashes, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis—a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. By identifying the specific spices that cause an allergic reaction, this test can help you manage your diet and health more effectively.
