Asthma is an inflammatory condition in which airways become narrow and swollen. This leads to excessive mucus production, thereby blocking the channels. This leads to breathing difficulty and coughing. Wheezing sound is produced when patient breathes.
Physical exercise gets challenging for the patient and sometimes impossible.
An asthma attack occurs when there is intense coughing and patient feels tightness in chest.
Asthma is a chronic condition that doesn’t get cured but it can be controlled.
As per Ayurveda, Asthma is called Swasa roga. It is mainly caused by imbalance of vata and kapha doshas. In Ayurveda , swasa roga is of 5 types: Mahaswasa , Urdhawaswasa , Chinna swasa , Kshudra swasa and Tamaka swasa.
However, with a controlled or particular diet, Swasa roga’s symptoms can be made less severe or be even disappeared.
