copd full form - #17585

My father has been struggling with breathing issues for the last couple of years. At first, it was just a mild cough that wouldn’t go away, but now he gets breathless even after climbing a few stairs. He wakes up coughing almost every morning, and sometimes at night too. Recently, the doctor diagnosed him with COPD full form Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. I had never even heard of this before, but the doctor said it’s a long-term lung problem that gets worse over time. The doctor prescribed inhalers and some medications, but my father is not comfortable relying on them forever. He says they make him feel lightheaded sometimes, and he doesn’t like the idea of using inhalers every day. I started reading about COPD full form, and from what I understand, it mainly happens due to smoking or long-term exposure to pollution. My father used to smoke when he was younger, but he quit almost 15 years ago. Could that still be causing the problem now? Or is it due to age? I came across some articles about Ayurveda helping with lung health, but I’m not sure how effective it is for something like COPD full form. Can Ayurvedic treatments actually improve breathing and reduce mucus buildup? Are there specific herbs that work for this? I’ve heard about turmeric and licorice being good for the lungs, but I don’t know how to use them properly. Another thing I’m wondering is if diet plays a role in COPD full form. My father eats mostly home-cooked food, but he does take a lot of dairy products. Could that be making his mucus worse? Should he change his diet to help with breathing? Also, are there any Ayurvedic breathing techniques that can make his lungs stronger? If anyone has tried Ayurveda for COPD full form, did you actually see improvement? He really doesn’t want to depend on inhalers for life, so I’m hoping there’s a natural way to manage this.
