Hello Sunita, 
What is the colour of sputum? Fever or other symptoms? Does your father experience breathlessness, chest pain, or blood in sputum along with the cough? Is his appetite and digestion stable during chemotherapy? 

For relief from frequent coughing, give Sitopaladi Churna (1/4 tsp) with 1/4 tsp honey , honey twice daily to soothe the respiratory tract if he is non diabetic. If he is diabetic then Yashtimadhu Churna + trikatu churna both 1/4 tsp each, with warm water can help reduce phlegm. Prepare a decoction of Vasaka (Adhatoda), Guduchi (Giloy) Mulethi (Licorice), and Tulsi and give it 2-3 times daily for lung support. Gentle steam inhalation with Eucalyptus oil may help ease congestion. Ensure a light, warm diet with easily digestible foods to maintain strength. Let me know if further guidance is needed.

Namaste Sunita Ji,

Lung cancer at Stage IV requires a holistic approach to improve his quality of life, reduce discomfort, and strengthen his immunity alongside chemotherapy. Since his main issue is frequent dry and wet cough, Ayurveda focuses on balancing Kapha-Vata dosha to relieve congestion and improve lung function.

	•	Sitopaladi Churna (1/4 tsp with honey, 2-3 times daily) – Helps in dry and wet cough, clears mucus.
	•	Yashtimadhu (Licorice) Tea – Soothes the throat and reduces cough irritation. Boil 1 tsp Licorice in 1 cup water, drink warm 2 times daily.
	•	Tulsi, Ginger & Pippali Tea – Helps break down mucus and ease breathing.
	•	Chyawanprash (½ tsp daily) – Strengthens lung function & immunity.

	•	Steam inhalation with Tulsi or Eucalyptus oil (twice daily) helps clear congestion 
	•	Give him warm, light, and easy-to-digest food (Khichdi, Moong Dal soup, vegetable broth).
	•	Avoid cold foods, dairy, processed, and oily foods, as they increase mucus.

4. Acupressure & Color Therapy
	•	Gently massage the lung meridian point (above the wrist on the thumb side) to ease breathing. Daily once
	•	Keep a positive environment around him.
	•	Encourage rest and minimal stress to support recovery.

Please let me know if he has any past history like Dm/hypetension/or other backgrounds

Best Regards,
Dr. M. Sushma
(Ayurvedic Consultant)
