Asthma according to Ayurveda:
- Asthma is termed as Pranvaha Sroto Vikaar. It is caused by Vata prakopa and Kapha prakopa. Vata is mainly imbalanced by vitiating aahar(diet), dry foods, intake of cold water, excessive salts, heavy dinner, living in cold, dump or humid area. Kapha dosha gets imbalanced by diet and activities that leads to increase in Kapha are- heavy dietary foods, bananas, black grams, sour, non-vegetarian food.
- As per Ayurveda, increase in Kaph dosha causes blockage of channels of respiratory system which leads to Vata dosha obstruction. This blocked Vata dosha moves in reverse direction. Vata dosha increases dryneses and the natural smooth passage of air gets disturbed. This disturbed pathway causes difficulties in breathing. There may be heavy breathing, interrupted breath, prolonged upward breathing, darkness behind the eyes.
