Introduction
Asthma is perhaps one of the most dreadful bodily diseases connected with the respiratory system. It is characterised by sudden attacks of difficulty of breathing with tendency to periodic recurrences at night which leads to suffocation. Due to modern lifestyle, rapid industrialisation this disease has become common among children, adult and old people. Thus Ayurveda has proved beneficial for treating this disease in a natural way using herbs.
About Asthma
Asthma, also known as bronchial asthma is a chronic disease involving inflamed bronchial tubes in the lungs. It is more frequent in males than in females due to greater liability to bronchial affections. During asthma attack, bronchial tubes (airways) become more swollen and muscles surrounding these tubes constrict thus rendering expiration difficult. Attacks may be associated with hay fever, irritation through nervous system or blood, urticaria and hypersensitiveness.
There are Various Types of Asthma Characterised as:-
- Cardiac asthma: It is due to heart failure and consists of sudden attacks of shortness of breath when the patient is resting.
- Real asthma: It is also due to heart failure and occurs in the terminal stages of chronic Bright’s disease.
- Allergic asthma: It is caused by allergies and these may be inherited from parents.
- Occupational asthma: introduction of dust, pollen, chemical vapours, mechanical irritants, violent emotions while working induce asthma
Ayurveda propounds that there are three defects in the human body, Vata, Pitta and Kapha (air, bile and phlegm). Vata intensifies Kapha and puts obstacles in the path of food, water and air and affects the lungs.
