What is the best Ayurvedic asthma treatment? - #10859
I’ve been looking for natural remedies to manage asthma and want to explore Ayurveda. What is the best Ayurvedic asthma treatment, and how effective is it for reducing symptoms like breathlessness and wheezing? In Ayurveda, asthma is referred to as Tamaka Shwasa, caused by an imbalance in the vata and kapha doshas. One commonly recommended remedy is Sitopaladi Churna, a herbal formulation that soothes the respiratory system and reduces mucus. How frequently should it be taken, and is it safe for long-term use? Another effective remedy is Dashamoola, a blend of ten medicinal roots that help reduce inflammation and improve lung function. Should this be consumed as a kashayam (decoction), and how quickly does it provide relief? Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (purgation) and Nasya (nasal administration) are often suggested for detoxifying the body and improving respiratory health. How many sessions are typically required for noticeable improvements, and are there any precautions to consider? Ayurveda also emphasizes breathing exercises (pranayama) and lifestyle changes to manage asthma. Techniques like Anulom Vilom and Bhastrika are said to strengthen the lungs. How often should these practices be performed, and can they be combined with other treatments for better results? If anyone has tried Ayurvedic asthma treatments, I’d love to hear your experience. Which remedies worked best for you, and how quickly did you notice improvements?
