Ayurvedic Approach to Asthma Management
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway inflammation and narrowing. It can cause wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, significantly impacting your quality of life. While conventional medicine offers effective management options, Ayurveda provides a complementary approach to reduce symptoms and promote overall lung health.

Understanding Asthma in Ayurveda
Ayurveda views asthma as a result of an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Vata and Kapha. Vata governs air and movement, and when imbalanced, it can lead to airway constriction. Kapha governs water and mucus, and its excess can contribute to congestion and difficulty breathing.
Symptoms of Asthma:
- Wheezing : A whistling sound during breathing, especially when exhaling.
- Coughing : Especially at night or during exercise.
- Shortness of breath : Feeling like you can't catch your breath.
- Chest tightness : sensation of pressure or tightness in the chest.
- Rapid breathing: You may feel like you're not getting enough air even though you're breathing rapidly.
