Cysstic fibrosis and bronchial asthma - #1040

How is your digestion and appetite? Do you experience bloating, gas, or heaviness after meals? Do you have any symptoms like fever, night sweats, or a persistent cough? Have you noticed specific triggers or factors (such as cold weather, certain foods, or lying down) that worsen your breathing issues or mucus production? Your recurring chest pain, breathing difficulties, and thick mucus build-up post-COVID suggest lung inflammation and lingering Kapha and Vata imbalances. Prolonged use of steroids and antibiotics may have weakened digestion, increasing toxins (Ama) and congestion. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on gentle detoxification and respiratory support. Herbs like Trikatu can enhance digestion and reduce mucus, while Sitopaladi Churna with honey soothes congestion. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus or Ajwain seeds aids mucus clearance. Lung-strengthening herbs such as Tulsi, Vasaka, and Licorice are recommended, along with Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anulom Vilom. A warm, easily digestible diet with ginger and turmeric can help balance doshas, while cold and heavy foods should be avoided. For a personalized approach, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner.
