BV Pandit Sitophaladi Churna can definitely help with respiratory issues, particularly if they stem from kapha imbalance, which can cause excessive mucus and blockages in the respiratory pathways. Sitophaladi Churna is a blend of herbs that support lung health by warming and clearing the respiratory channels, enhancing lung function, and improving overall immunity. It’s often used in Ayurveda to manage cough, cold, and respiratory discomforts by balancing the kapha dosha.
Since you’re living in a polluted city and suspect allergies, Sitophaladi Churna might be beneficial. However, feeling out of breath is often linked with vitiated vata or kapha dosha—pollution and allergens can aggravate these and intensify symptoms. Sitophaladi’s warming nature can help counteract these effects.
To use Sitophaladi Churna, mix about 1 to 2 grams of the churna with honey, twice daily, especially effective when taken after meals. This helps in direct contact with the throat and assists in clearing mucus. Ensure you stay hydrated and incorporate ginger tea into your daily routine for additional warmth. Inhaling steam with eucalyptus oil might also provide more support by opening up the nasal passages.
Since your doctor found no serious conditions like asthma, continue regular check-ups to monitor any changes in symptoms. Staying indoors when pollution is high, using air purifiers, and often washing your nasal passages with saline rinses can further reduce breathlessness.
If symptoms persist or worsen, contact a healthcare professional or an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure personalized recommendations without any interactions with existing medications or conditions. It’s critical to adapt the practice under expert guidance to prevent unintended effects.
