Treatment of Kampvata
Ayurvedic medication offers some treatment alternatives if there should arise an occurrence of Parkinson’s disease. Ayurvedic treatment for this condition primarily dependent on the treatment of unequal VATA. Inner and External Oleation (Snehanam) and fomentation (Swednam) structure the premise of the sacred treatment. Oleation should be possible by interior utilization of sedated oils and Ghee. Outer Oleation should be possible by Massage (Ayurvedic Abhyangam). The significant strategy that is referenced in the books of Ayurveda for the treatment of KAMPHA VATA is Basti or Vasti treatment. Vasti (Anal bowel purge) is the best refinement strategy to adjust the upset Vata. Ayurveda likewise offers a wide scope of natural enhancements to help patients with Parkinson’s. As of late numerous examinations directed all throughout the planet have demonstrated the presence of L-dopa (Which is antecedent for Dopamine) is available in a portion of the Ayurvedic spices.
Bronchial asthma is a disorder that causes the aviation routeway of the lungs to expand and limit. Because of this growth, the airway creates an abundance of bodily fluid making it difficult to inhale, which brings about hacking, short breath, and wheezing. The infection is ongoing and meddles with day-by-day working. The sickness is treatable and inhalers help defeat asthma assaults. Bronchial Asthma can influence any age or sexual orientation and relies on ecological and inherited factors on the loose.
In Ayurveda, Bronchial Asthma is also called Tamak Shwasa. Tamaka Shwasa is a wide term that incorporates a lot more sicknesses where dyspnoea is the prevalent symptom. Yet at the same time, we can correspond Bronchial Asthma to Tamaka Shwasa.

The first line of treatment is to stay away from the causative elements. On the off chance that the encouraging or inclining factors are not stayed away from, the Doshas associated with the pathogenesis will additionally be disturbed and the visualization will be more awful. In the treatment of Tamak Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma) aversion of causative factors or setting off factors play a very significant job.
Samshaman and Samshodhana Chikitsa
The line of treatment dependent on these treatments depicted by Acharya Charaka can be partitioned as:
Samanya Chikitsa Krama (General standards of treatment)
Vishisht Chikitsa Krama (Specific treatment)
1) Samanya Chikitsa Krama (General standards of treatment)
Charak referenced the treatment of tamak Shvasa according to Doshic status.
Vata-kaphanashak chikitsa
Vata Karak and kaphanashak chikitsa
Kaphakarak and vatanashak chikitsa
At the point when Vata and Kapha are similarly vitiated then Vata Kaphanashaka Chikitsa is helpful. At the point when Kapha causing obstacle of Vayu then Kaphnashak and Vatakarak
Chikitsa is helpful out of all these “Anilapaham” Chikitsa is viewed as an unrivaled one. Brihan Chikitsa has been shown in Shwasa Roga.

Ayurveda is based on the sound principles of diagnosis. It does not require clinical or costly investigations. Ashtvidha pariksha is mentioned by Acharya Yogaratnakara.
Ashtashana pareeksha is one among the different methods of rogi pareeksha there are 8 factors that are taken into consideration during the examination and tests carried out with the patients.

ASHTVIDHA PARIKSHA
Nadi – The pulse
Mootram – The urine
Malam – The facal matter

Pita Nadi – in this pulse is throbbing, rich, forceful and elevated in middle. It can be compared to the jumping frog. It can be felt by middle finger
Kapha Nadi – kapha pulse is slow, steady and somewhat heavy. Kapha nadi can be compared to the movement of a stork. It can be felt by ring finger (Anamika Anguli).

Physician should hold the wrist of the patient by the examining hand and should place his index, middle and ring fingers one angula below the Angushtamoola & then must examine the naadi.
The index finger should be nearer to the root of the thumb.
NADI IN VARIOUS DISEASES: –
Jwara – Pulse is hot and rapid in fever.
Kaama and krodha – Pulse rate increases during lust and anger.
Chinta and bhaya – Pulse rate decreases during worry and fear.
Mandagni and dhatukshaya – Slow and feeble type.
Hunger – During hunger nadi becomes unsteady and after meal it becomes stable.
2. MUTRA PARIKSHA

Ajeerna – Tandulodaka
Vatapittaprakopa – Dhumrajalabha
Vatakapha Prakopa – Phenila and Sweta

TAILA BINDU PARIKSHA
Tailabindu pariksha is a diagnostic tool of urine examination developed by the Acharya Yogaratnakar. Taila bindu pareeksha on mutra of different individual is used to determine the sadyaasadyata of a disease.
One drop of pure sesame oil is put over a cup of freshly collected urine, then note its spread:

X-Rays
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
CT-SCAN
Myelography
Electromyography (EMG)
Spinal Tap
MANAGEMENT IN AYURVEDA

Dhoopan is an Ayurvedic procedure in which fumes or smoke produced from defined Ayurvedic drug formulations are inhaled/exposed by patients for medicinal/therapeutic relief or externally as a cleanser to the environment.
There is a major risk of spread of airborne infections with hospital-acquired infections and to mitigate Dhoopan is a safe practice and very effective to control such infections.
Dhoopan is a classical ayurvedic method of sterilization for Vranitagar (wound healing), Sutikagar, Kumaragar, etc. with preventive as well as curative/restorative efficacy. Fumes can be facilitated to expose or inhale in various diseases such as cough, fever, coryza, piles, epilepsy, insanity, Asthma, bronchitis, and wounds.
The constituents of Dhoopare Ayurvedic herbs, animal products (like skin, hair, bones, horn, etc.), and various minerals, described in Ayurveda are efficient anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and antiviral action by nature.
Since ancient times, sages used to clean the environment by havanaadi (home)rituals. However, because of the lacking scientific validation, these Dhoopan practices are not famous, which bring attention to research opportunities and understand its safety, potency, and efficacy to control airborne infections.
Dhoop kalpas have advantages in dealing with airborne infection because of antioxidant and anti-microbial properties with safe, economical, and eco-friendly potential. Thus, it can be publicized in the prevention and control of COVID 19 like a pandemic situation as a supplementary method.
Airborne infections are the commonest ones, develop respiratory disorders. COVID 19 is one of the viral respiratory problems, created pandemic with a high death rate. Covid spreads from droplets, aerosol, and fomite by the affected patient’s cough, nasal secretions, sneeze, sputum, or nasal discharge, and the environment gets easily contaminated.
Airborne infections can rapidly spread in masses through breathing and inhalation of microbes in an infectious environment. Therefore, this is required to sterile the area by disinfectant herbs or fumigation.
There are many types of microbes present everywhere in the environment. Hence, it is a protocol to fumigate operation theatre before surgery to prevent hospital-acquired infections.
Recently, Dhoopan is rarely used as a fumigation method. Therefore, re-publicize the advantages of Dhoopan karma and evaluate the efficacy of different Dhoop kalpas for fumigation purposes Rakshoghna (anti-microbial) with safe and quick action to prevent airborne infections.
