Hello Zulfiqar, I understand the discomfort you're experiencing with constant mucus in your throat and asthma. Ayurveda views respiratory issues like asthma as imbalances in the doshas, especially the Kapha dosha, which can lead to excess mucus and difficulty in breathing. It’s important to address the root causes of your condition, focusing on detoxifying the body, improving lung function, and balancing the immune system. To guide you better, could you share your recent reports, such as lung function tests, allergy tests, or any other treatments you've been using alongside the inhaler? Also, I would like to know about your diet, lifestyle, and any triggers that worsen your symptoms, as these factors play a crucial role in managing asthma and mucus buildup.

1.Divya Shwasari Kwath - 200 grams
2.Divya Mulethi Kwath - 100 grams
Mix both the medicines. Take one teaspoon (around 5-7 grams) of this mixture and boil in 400 ml of water, until it reduces to 100 ml. Strain it and drink on an empty stomach in the morning and evening.
3.Divya Laxmi Vilas Ras - 40 grams
4.Divya Sanjeevani Vati - 40 grams
Take one tablet each twice a day - after breakfast and dinner with
lukewarm water or milk boiled with turmeric and cooled.

I can understand how frustrating and uncomfortable that must be! Dealing with post nasal drip, especially when combined with asthma, can really disrupt daily life. Let's take a look at some Ayurvedic ways to support your condition.
Understanding the root cause is essential in Ayurveda. Post-nasal drip could be related to an imbalance in Kapha dosha, which governs mucus production in the body. When Kapha becomes excessive, it can lead to increased mucus. Try these suggestions and adapt them to your routine as needed:
1. **Diet:** Focus on a diet that reduces Kapha. Avoid dairy products, cold foods, sugary treats, and heavy meals, as these can increase mucus. Opt for light, warm, and easy-to-digest foods. Soups with a pinch of ginger or black pepper might be helpful. Including some spicy foods can help to break down excess mucus. Remember, eat your main meals by 7 pm to aid digestion.
2. **Hydration:** Drink warm water throughout the day. This helps thin the mucus and makes it easier to expel. You might wanna try adding a pinch of turmeric, which is anti-inflammatory, to your water.
3. **Herbal Support:** Trikatu is an herbal blend that supports digestive fire (Agni) and reduces Kapha. Take it with honey, but consult a local expert first, especially considering the asthma context!
4. **Nasal Treatments:** Doing a nasal wash like Jala Neti might be beneficial. Use saline water to help clear the nasal passages, but be gentle and cautious.
5. **Sleep Position:** Try sleeping with your head elevated, using extra pillows, to prevent mucus accumulation in the throat.
6. **Breathing Practices:** Gentle pranayama, like Anulom Vilom, can also be supportive. It has a calming effect and helps with your breathing patterns.
But remember — it's crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider, especially if your breathing issues worsen. Ayurveda can complement your current treatments, not replace them. Take it step by step, and see which parts of these recommendations fit comfortably into your life.
