Ayurvedic Treatment for Asthma

Asthma is a chronic lung disease. Asthma causes your airways to get inflamed and narrow, and it makes it hard to breathe. Severe asthma can cause trouble talking or being active.

There are many types of asthma. Listed below are a few of the most common types:

Allergic Asthma: Allergic asthma is triggered by inhaled allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mould, etc. resulting in asthma symptoms.

Nocturnal Asthma: In this type of asthma, symptoms worsen at night. The body’s natural sleep cycle may also trigger nocturnal asthma. Triggers that are thought to bring on symptoms at night are heartburn, pet dander and dust mites.

Occupational Asthma: Occupational asthma is a type of asthma induced by triggers in the workplace, such as dust, dyes, gases and fumes, industrial chemicals, animal proteins, rubber latex and more.

As per ayurveda, asthma known as shwasaroga is believed to be mainly caused by imbalanced kapha, one of the three energies or doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha) responsible for maintaining the balance of overall health. The aggravation of kaphadosha blocks the flow of air creating spasms in the bronchial area, which causes asthma and wheezing. The ayurvedic treatments for asthma focus on wiping out the kapha lodged in the lungs.
