Ginger, turmeric, and black pepper help reduce Kapha buildup. - Steam inhalation: With tulsi leaves or ajwain seeds, 2–3 times weekly, to clear mucus. - Regular routine: Early sleep, morning walk in clean air, and avoiding late-night meals.

Hello, sir, considering your age, no harsh treatment methods are advisable. The only treatment principle we can follow now is pure rasayana, that is, rejuvenation therapies. Use these medicines as advised above, as indicated. For any other use 2 drops in each nostril twice daily. Also follow yoga practices like anuloma and viloma, bhramari and kapalbhati techniques

Namaste, Long-term asthma needs regular care and prevention, especially at your age. With the right routine, you can improve your comfort and quality of life. Simple measures that may help: Continue your inhaler regularly as advised; do not stop it. Avoid dust, smoke, and cold exposure, as they trigger symptoms. Keep your surroundings clean and well-ventilated. Drink warm water and avoid cold drinks or refrigerated foods. Take light, warm, easy-to-digest meals and avoid heavy or mucus-forming foods (like excess dairy and sweets). Do gentle breathing exercises (pranayama) daily, within your comfort. Maintain regular sleep and mild physical activity like walking. Since symptoms are daily, periodic doctor follow-up is important to adjust treatment if needed. Ayurvedic medicines sometimes used to support respiratory health include: Sitopaladi Churna – traditionally used to support breathing and reduce phlegm. Talisadi Churna – sometimes used to support respiratory function. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.

Hello, With 40 + years of asthma , the goal now is not cure but stable breathing, fewer attacks, and better daily comfort. Asthma= Tamaka shwasa Main imbalance= vata + kapha (mucus + airway constriction) So treatment focuses on -reducing kapha (phlegm, heaviness ) -calming vata (breath instability) Daily herbal support Take regularly, not occasionally Morning (empty stomach ) - 1 tsp ginger juice + honey After meals twice daily -warm water with pinch of turmeric + black pepper Night -Sitopaladi churn 1/2 tsp with honey =helps reduce mucus, improve lung strength Diet most important for you -warm, freshly cooked meals -soups lentil, vegetable -garlic, ginger, turmeric -old rice, wheat, moong dal -warm water throughout day Avoid completely -cold drinks, ice cream -curd especially at night -fried, oily food -banana especially evening -dust exposure food Your trigger is dust-> diet must not increase mucus Breathing and lifestyle At your age, keep it gentle Pranayam (daily 10-15 min) -Anulom Vilom very important -Bhramari calms breath -Avoid heavy exercise -keep chest warm no cold air exposure -use mask in dusty areas Routine -wake up early, avoid late nights -sleep by 10 pm -gentle chest massage with mustard oil before bath Environment You like hot weather-> good for you Avoid -dust -cold -damp rooms Use -clean, dry, warm surroundings Important Note (modern + Ayurveda together) -continue your inhaler regularly (do Not stop suddenly) -Ayurveda works slow but steady -Goal= reduce frequency of attacks over time Small powerful habit sip warm water every hour -> This alone can reduce mucus significantly Warm + light + regular routine= better breathing Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
