Ah, khansi can be quite bothersome, right? But don’t worry, Ayurved has some neat solutions for that. When it comes to Ayurvedic treatment for cough, different types of khansi need different approaches. Sumtimes it’s a dry cough, sometimes wet—each has its own game in the Ayurvedic playbook.
For a dry cough, a kapha reducing approach is often useful. Think Tulsi (holy basil) for its anti-inflammatory properties, Ginger for heating things up (improving your agni, or digestive fire), and Honey for soothing the throat. Mix these up and you’ve got a great concoction. Just mix a teaspoon of honey with ginger juice n’ few Tulsi leaves. Sip it few times a day—an easy homemade remedy.
Now, for a wet or productive cough, where there’s mucus, herbs like licorice root (Yashtimadhu) and Vasa (Malabar nut) could do wonders by breaking down mucus and clearing it out. These can be cooked into a tea or used in powder form. 1/4 teaspoon of licorice root powder thrice daily after meals could really be helpful.
When it comes to format—yes, Ayurvedic dawas can be in syrup, tea, or even as a powder. You’ll find what suits you best.
About lifestyle, yoga is cool for respiratory health. Poses like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) helps maintain a good respiratory flow. Avoiding cold foods, oily and fried foods, is a good call too.
Time for effects? Usually, within a week or two, you should feel a difference, especially if you’re consistent. In terms of safety, Ayurvedic meds are usually gentle, but always good to keep an eye on how your body responds. If something feels off, check with an Ayurvedic practitioner.
That’s pretty much the round-up on khansi in Ayurveda. The combo of herbs and subtle lifestyle shifts can be a good path to easing khansi and keeping them lungs happy.
