HELLO,
A lung fungal infection happens when certain fungi (mold like organism) enter the lungs and start growing, This normally happens in -people with low immunity -older age -very low body weight -chronic lung problems -long term antibiotics or steroid use
WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE THE LUNGS? -the fungus irritates the lung tissue -it causes inflammation -thick mucus may form -breating becomes difficult -body becomes weak because immunity is fighting the fungus contiuously -appetite decreases->weight loss -energy levels go down
SYMPTOMS YOU MAY FEEL -persistent cough -white or thick mucus -breathlessness -chest tightness -fatigue and weakness -loss of appettite -low weight -sometimes low grade fever
Ayurveda sees this condition similar to kaphaja-shwasa/kaphaja-kasa with -kapha aggravation= mucus, heaviness in lungs -vata aggravation=due to weakness and weak loss -low agni (digestive fire)= causing poor immunity -depleted Ojas = body’s natural defence energy
TREATMENT GOALS
IMMEDIATE GOALS= 0-4 weeks -reduce cough and mucus -improve breathing comfort -improve digestion -prevet worsening of infection -start building light stregth

Hello I can understand the concern, particularly when you are not able to tolerate the usual antifungal medicines. Fungal infections of the lungs at your age and weight call for a mild, yet strengthening and effective Ayurvedic treatment that is primarily aimed at immune correction, lung healing, and restoration of Ojas.
✅ AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
This condition mainly results from: ➡ Severe Vata–Kapha Dushti with Ojas Kshaya Immunity becomes very weak Strong medicines are difficult to be tolerated Dryness + mucus imbalance Very low body weight (which is a sign of severely depleted tissues)
Treatment, therefore, has to be a slow one, nourishing, immune-enhancing and capable of removing Kapha without making the patient tired.
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
⚠️ All doses are very mild since they are for a old person (67 years) of very low weight (40 kg).
✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION
1. Sitopaladi Churna + Yashtimadhu Churna ¼ teaspoon of each Honey Twice daily after meals ➝ Makes breathing easier, lowers irritation &helps in lung tissue repairing.
2. Guduchi Ghana 1 tablet Once daily after lunch → Immune system safe, excellent immune booster & antifungal supportive.
3. Haridra Khanda ½ teaspoon At night with warm water → An anti-inflammatory & helps to increase lung capacity.
4. Chyawanprash (preferably sugar-free) ½ teaspoon Morning → Strengthens body and Ojas. (Only start if digestion is good after the first 7 days.)
✅ EXTERNAL THERAPIES (Very Important)
These are good for old people and open up the lungs.
1. Warm turmeric-salt steam inhalation Once daily (Not very hot — only gentle steam)
2. Chest massage with warm sesame oil Evening → Helps breathing and relieves chest tightness.
✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
✔️Foods to Include Warm soups (vegetable, moong dal, chicken clear soup) Turmeric + black pepper milk (only if digestion is good) Ghee (½ tsp/day) Steamed vegetables Pomegranate juice (½ cup/day) Rice + moong dal khichdi
❌Avoid Curd Cold foods/drinks Bakery food Heavy dals (chana, rajma) Oily, fried food
These will increase Kapha & thus will accelerate fungal growth.
✅ LIFESTYE MODIFICATION
Perform gentle breathing exercises: Bhramari Pranayama (5 min/day) Refrain from sleeping during the day Keep your chest warm Have a good rest in an upright position and also sit while eating
⚠️ Important Note
Fungal infections of the lung require very close observation.
These Ayurvedic medicines provide support but are not substitutes for emergency care.
In case you have new fever, worsened breathlessness, or sputum with blood, get medical help straight away.
Considering your age and low weight, a mild Sattvic Ayurvedic treatment is the way to go as it will gradually improve lung strength and immunity without causing any side effects. The progress will be slow but steady.
Wishing you good health😊

आपकी उम्र में कम वजन के साथ फंगल फेफड़ों का संक्रमण बहुत आम है क्योंकि इम्यूनिटी और फेफड़ों की ताकत दोनों कमजोर हो गई हैं। आप गुडुची टैब 1 बीडी, वासावलेह 1 टीएसपी दिन में दो बार, श्वासारी प्रवाह 10 एमएल बीडी, लक्ष्मी विलास रस 1 बीडी शुरू कर सकते हैं। भाप लेना, गर्म हल्दी वाला दूध पीना और पूरे दिन गर्म पानी पीना भी फायदेमंद होगा।
1. भोजन के बाद गुनगुने पानी के साथ 1/4 चम्मच पुष्करमूल चूर्ण दिन में दो बार 2. सुबह खाली पेट गुनगुने दूध के साथ 2 चम्मच च्यवनप्राश 3. गुनगुने दूध के साथ 5 मिली कण्टकारी घृत दिन में एक बार 4. शहद के साथ 1 चम्मच सितोपलादि चूर्ण दिन में दो बार 5. भोजन के बाद पानी के साथ 2 गोली गिलोयघन वटी दिन में दो बार
जीवनशैली और आहार: - हल्का, गर्म आहार: मूंग दाल का सूप, सब्जियों का शोरबा, चावल का पानी (कांजी)। भारी, तैलीय या ठंडे खाद्य पदार्थों से बचें। - इम्यूनिटी के लिए मसाले: अदरक, हल्दी, काली मिर्च, तुलसी के पत्ते चाय में। - श्वास अभ्यास: हल्का अनुलोम विलोम (वैकल्पिक नासिका श्वास), लेकिन जोरदार प्राणायाम से बचें। - आराम और गर्माहट: छाती को गर्म रखें, ठंडी/गीली हवा के संपर्क से बचें। - वजन समर्थन: खजूर, भिगोए हुए बादाम, गाय का घी जैसे पोषक खाद्य पदार्थ थोड़ी मात्रा में शामिल करें।
Hi this is Dr soukhya…see as you diagnosed with lung infection can you share still more details like since how many days are you suffering How do you get to know about this . Any reports do you have regarding this issue… Before trying anything else you should know details about that…bcz our body is not machine… And you are is also 67 so before giving any medicine should think twice…
आयुर्वेदिक सलाहकार के पास जाएं। सिटोपलादी चूर्ण और तालिस्यादी चूर्ण 5 ग्राम दिन में तीन बार लें। स्वास योग चितामणि दोपहर के खाने के बाद 1 लें। रोजाना 5 तुलसी के पत्ते लें और चबाएं।
Ayurvedic treatment will be supportive treatment, but for fungal growth allopathic medicine will give faster results. Start with Vasavaleh 1tsp twice daily before food with water Mahalaxmi vilas ras1-0-1 Swaskas chintamani ras 1-0-1 after food with water Do pranayam lom -vilom bhastrika, slowly increasing the frequency.This will help strengthen your lungs. Have warm haldi doodh at bedtime. Drink warm water through out the day.
Given your condition, addressing a lung fungal infection through Ayurveda requires a careful approach to strengthen your immune system and balance your doshas, primarily focusing on Kapha and Vata which are typically involved. It’s essential, though, to consult with a healthcare professional regularly, as fungal infections can escalate if not managed appropriately.
Start with your diet. It’s important to support your digestive fire or agni, since a weak agni can lead to toxins (ama) accumulation, contributing to infections. Aim at warm, freshly cooked foods, avoiding cold, raw, or processed foods. Include warming spices like ginger, black pepper, and cumin in your meals. These help to bolster digestion and karma balance.
Enhance your lung health by incorporating Tulsi (Holy Basil) and Pippali (Long Pepper) into your regimen—Tulsi is known for its immune-boosting properties whereas Pippali supports lung function and expels Kapha from the body. Prepare a decoction of these herbs by boiling them in water and consuming daily.
Practicing Pranayama, such as Anulom Vilom and Kapalbhati, can help, as they are beneficial for respiratory health. However, given your age and weight, perform these gently, avoiding strain. Start slow and increase duration gradually as your comfort allows.
Ensure adequate hydration. Warm water can be particularly soothing and less taxing on your digestive system. Steaming with eucalyptus oil may also provide symptomatic relief by opening respiratory pathways.
Additionally, consider Chyawanprash, a traditional Ayurvedic preparation, which is rich in vitamin C and other ingredients that strengthen immunity. Take a teaspoon every morning with lukewarm milk.
It’s crucial to note that while these measures address the underlying causes according to Ayurveda, they should complement—not replace—conventional treatments necessary for managing your condition. Regular medical follow-up remains important to monitor your health status.
