🌬️ Asthma & Bronchitis

Specialized and Customized Ayurvedic Approaches with Ahara Vihara
At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

📘 Introduction

Asthma, referred to as Swasa Roga in Ayurveda, is a chronic inflammatory condition of the respiratory system that leads to narrowed airways and breathing difficulties.
At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we provide specialized Ayurvedic care, including tailored Ahara Vihara (diet and lifestyle), to manage asthma and bronchitis by addressing the root cause and promoting long-term respiratory health.

🧠 Understanding Asthma & Bronchitis

These respiratory conditions involve:

  • Inflammation of airways

  • Bronchospasm (tightening of airway muscles)

  • Mucus accumulation

  • Recurring respiratory discomfort

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective

According to Ayurveda, Swasa Roga arises due to:

  • Vata Prakopa (Aggravated Vata): Leads to dryness, rapid breathing, and constriction of airways

  • Kapha Prakopa (Aggravated Kapha): Causes mucus buildup, congestion, and wheezing

  • Ama (Undigested toxins): Obstructs respiratory channels and worsens inflammation

The primary systems affected are:
Pranavaha Srotas (respiratory passages) and Urastha Marma (chest region).

⚠️ Signs and Symptoms

  • Wheezing

  • Breathlessness

  • Tightness in the chest

  • Coughing, especially at night or early morning
