Respiratory system

The respiratory system from the point of view of Ayurveda.

The respiratory system is a combination of organs and tissues associated with breathing. Respiratory diseases affect each of us throughout our lives – cough is associated with the common cold or respiratory illness associated with allergies and asthma.

From an Ayurveda point of view, breathing is life – “prana” leaves the navel through the neck to consume nectar from the air in the atmosphere and then returns to nourish the body. ” Ayurvedic respiratory diseases are diagnosed not by microorganism infection but by a systemic imbalance in life.  Ayurveda believes that the respiratory system is affected by the state of mind, metabolism, and the number of toxins in the body.

How the session with the Ayurveda doctor can help you to heal your respiratory system?

Kapha plays a key role in respiratory problems along with Vata, including digestive fire / Agni. The first step in Ayurvedic treatment could be “cleansing”  therapies such as Vamana (vomiting), Nasyam (drip from the nose) to soothe aggravated doshas. Any treatment recommended by an Ayurvedic doctor, along with oral medications, can greatly improve the treatment of a long-term and chronic illness – which will certainly take time and patience. 

Ayurvedic advice for the health of the respiratory system:

Problems in the respiratory system indicate fear or various states of aggression against oneself or the world – fear, thoughts, emotions ” pressed in the chest “. Retained emotions. Bronchitis – is undisclosed anger and claims, nervous environment, quarrels. Fear of expressing your thoughts out loud, attitude, existence in itself, inferiority complexes. A runny nose is a “ tears of the soul.”

What Causes Respiratory Issues?

Respiratory issues can stem from various factors, both environmental and internal. Exposure to pollutants, allergens, and irritants, such as smoke or pollutants in the air, can contribute to respiratory problems. Infections caused by viruses or bacteria, especially in the lungs, can lead to conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis. Chronic conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often involve inflammation and narrowing of the airways, resulting in breathing difficulties. Lifestyle factors, including smoking and poor dietary habits, can also impact respiratory health. Genetic predispositions and pre-existing medical conditions further contribute to the complexity of respiratory issues, highlighting the importance of comprehensive care and preventive measures.
