Understanding Asthma (दमा) from Ayurvedic Perspective
Key Symptoms: wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing attacks especially at night or early morning, triggered by allergens or exercise.
Ayurvedic Root Cause: Kapha-Vata obstruction in Pranavahasrotas — Kapha blocks airways while Vata creates bronchospasm.
Modern medicine provides symptomatic relief for Asthma but rarely addresses the underlying doshic imbalance. Ayurveda corrects this fundamental imbalance — providing more lasting and holistic healing. The Ayurvedic approach combines targeted herbs, dietary changes and lifestyle modifications for comprehensive management.
