Malabar Brihat Vasakadi Kashayam is indeed traditionally used in Ayurveda for addressing respiratory issues like chronic coughs — usually related to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha. From what you’ve described, the persistent cough might relate to an accumulation of phlegm or stagnation in the respiratory system. This formulation works primarily by supporting the respiratory system and helping to balance the doshas, particularly Kapha, but also Pitta as it reduces inflammation.
When using Malabar Brihat Vasakadi Kashayam, take it as a decoction, generally about 15 to 30 ml twice daily, before meals. You can mix it with warm water to make it more palatable. It acts slowly, so typically, effects might be noticed after about 2 to 3 weeks of consistent use. However, always ensure your body’s constitution aligns with this kashayam’s energetics.
Besides this, considering do steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil at least once a day. It can help loosen the congestion contributing to your cough. Also, practice something like pranayama (breathing exercises) which enhances lung capacity and balances mind-body stress, potentially soothing your throat irritation. Take warm liquids like ginger tea with tulsi to support respiratory wellness.
Please monitor closely how your body responds. If the cough worsens or new symptoms arise, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions that might need more urgent attention. Your well-being is paramount, and natural remedies should complement, not replace, necessary medical care.
