Asthma is a respiratory disease which is characterized by narrowing of the airways.

When the airways narrow, patients show symptoms such as tightness of the chest, wheezing noise while breathing, coughing and shortness of breath. Asthma treatment at Sri Visista Ayurveda Hospital is completely personalized with customized medicines, diet and lifestyle.

Causes:

The cause of Asthma according to Ayurveda is accumulation of Kapha in the airways. The airways become narrow because of the blockage caused by Kapha. As a result, the flow of air to the lungs is interrupted, which makes the patient experiences difficulty in breathing. Asthma is caused because of excessive intake of vata (cold), consuming kapha aggravating food items, weakening of the lung tissues, and problems caused by lung diseases. Environmental and lifestyle factors also play a role in asthma. Consuming cold or stale foods are not easy to digest and lead to the formation of ama (mucus) thereby causing blockage in the respiratory channel and difficulty in breathing. Living in cold and damp environment is also a reason of asthma.

Symptoms:

1.Cough

2.Chest pain

3.Tightness in breathing

4.Wheezing

5.Shortness of breath

Ayurvedic Asthma Treatment :

Ayurvedic Asthma treatment considers bad digestion as a major cause. When the digestive system is weak, the body becomes oversensitive to dust, pollen and other substances which trigger an asthma attack. Deposits of ama (mucus) in the lungs and respiratory tract create obstruction in breathing and cause wheezing or coughing. Ayurvedic Asthma treatment focuses on restoring digestion with herbal preparations and the right diet and lifestyle changes. The medicines primarily work on pacifying Kapha and cleansing toxins from the body. Panchakarma treatments include Deepanam, Pachanam, Snehapanam, Vamanam, Virechanam and Vasti. This helps in eliminating vitiated kapha from the body thereby reducing the symptoms. In addition, specific herbal combinations are also supplemented to boost the body’s immunity.
