In Ayurveda, a dry cough is often associated with an imbalance of Vata dosha. The symptoms you’ve described, such as the dry nature of the cough, its ‘unstoppable’ quality, and the post-nasal drip, can be linked to the vitiation of Vata and sometimes Kapha doshas. The triggers you mentioned—temperature changes, stress, and dust—are all factors that can aggravate Vata.
Here are some general Ayurvedic approaches that may be considered for managing such a condition:
1. Pacifying Vata Dosha:
Diet: Favor warm, nourishing, and unctuous (oily) foods. Avoid dry, cold, and raw foods. Ghee (clarified butter) is highly recommended for its lubricating and Vata-pacifying properties.
Herbal Remedies: Herbs like licorice (Yashtimadhu), ginger, and basil (Tulsi) are often used to soothe the throat and respiratory tract. A warm infusion of these herbs can be helpful.
Lifestyle: Maintain a regular routine, ensure adequate rest, and practice stress-reducing activities like meditation or gentle yoga. Avoid exposure to cold air and sudden temperature changes as much as possible.
2. Addressing Post-Nasal Drip (Nasal Drip at the back of the throat):
Nasya: This is an Ayurvedic practice of administering medicated oil (like Anu Taila) into the nasal passages. It helps to lubricate the nasal mucosa, clear sinus congestion, and can be beneficial for post-nasal drip. This should be done under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner.
Steam Inhalation: Inhaling steam, optionally with a few drops of eucalyptus oil or a pinch of turmeric, can help to thin the mucus and provide relief.
3. General Ayurvedic Cough Remedies:
Warm Water: Sip warm water throughout the day to keep the throat moist and hydrated.
Honey and Ginger: A mixture of a teaspoon of honey with a pinch of ginger powder can be soothing for the throat.
Turmeric Milk: A glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric (Haldi Doodh) can be beneficial due to turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties.

HELLO MITA DASS,
You have a dry cough that has lasted more than 3 months -It is worse with dust, cold air, temperature change, stress, and nasal drip -In Ayurveda, this is seen as a vata-kapha imbalances –VATA-> causes dryness, irritated, tickling sensation, continuous cough –KAPHA-> causes nasal drip, throat mucus, heaviness
Together this makes the airways hypersensitive-> even small triggers cause cough
In modern medicine terms, this looks like chronic allergic cough/upper airways cough syndrome (postnasal drip), sometimes overlapping with asthma or reflux
TREATMENT GOALS -Soothe the dry irritated throat -Reduce kapha (mucus, drip) and stabilise vata -improve immunity and reduce allergic tendency -strengthen lungs and air passages -prevent recurrence by lifestyle correction

2) HARIDRA KHANDA= 10 gm with warm milk daily =reduces allergy tendencies, improves immunity
3) VASA SYRUP= 10 ml twice daily =especially useful if there is persistent throat irritation and mild breathlessness
4) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with honey after meals =improves digestion, reduces kapha, prevents mucus buildup
DURATION= usually 4-8 weeks
EXTERNAL TREATMENTS
1) STEAM INHALATION= boil water with tulsi, pudina, or eucalyptus oil twice daily =opens blocked nasal and throat channels, melts mucus

4)OIL PULLING= swish sesame oil in the mouth in morning =removes oral bacterial ,soothes throat
5) NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning after steam
LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE ADJUSTMENTS -Stay away from AC, direct air, fans at night , and dusty areas -Use humidifier or keep a water bowl in room to reduce dryness -sleep early, avoid day naps, and keep head elevated at night -avoid talking too much if your throat is hurting -do not suppress natural urges (cough sneeze, burp)- they worsen dosha imbalance.
DIET- general guidelines
WHAT TO EAT -light, warm, easily digestible food- khichdi, soups, green moong dal -cooked vegetables with warming spives- ginger, cumin, black pepper -warm water throughout the day (can boil with tulsi or dry ginger) -steamed or sauteed seasonal vegetables -herbal teas= tulsi ginger, cinnamon-clove,fennel-coriander

5) MULETHI STICK sucking for throat soothing
INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED Since cough is >3 months it is important to rule out serious causes -Chest x-ray= to check for lung infection or other pathology -Spirometry= to rule out asthma/copd -Allergy testing -ENT examination= for chronic sinusitis or post nasal drip -Blood test= CBC, ESR, igE
-Your cough seems largely allergy-and environmental related with vata kapha imbalance -Ayurveda aims not just to suppress the cough, but to strengthen immunity, calm irritation, and prevent recurrence -Early management prevents it from progressing into chronic asthma or COPD

Adv: -Practice pranayama-kapal bhati, anulom vilom, viprit karinini - Avoid exposure to allergens: Use a mask in dusty areas, keep windows closed during pollen season. - Steam inhalation: With tulsi or eucalyptus oil
When dealing with a persistent dry cough that may be aggravated by factors like temperature changes, stress, and dust, understanding the underlying dosha imbalances is vital. In Ayurveda, vata and kapha imbalance may be at play here. Improving your immunity and digestive health could also help. First thing to note is the need to address any irritants in your environment. Avoid cold exposure, both foods and temperature, as it might aggravate vata and kapha. A scarf or shawl around your neck can help keep the prana vayu calm.
For diet, warm, cooked meals are beneficial like soups made from lentils, barley, or split mung dal. Ginger tea or a concoction of fresh grated ginger boiled in water with a teaspoon of honey can help soothe the throat. But make sure to not add honey until the drink is somewhat cool as Ayurveda warns against heating honey. Avoid dairy products during this time as they could contribute to mucus production, which might make the cough worse.
Breathing steam with a few drops of eucalyptus oil can help clear nasal passages. Dry cough can be soothed with a simple preparation of turmeric and black pepper in warm milk. Consume this before bedtime for relief.
Daily pranayama, particularly nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), can help reduce stress and balance your doshas as well. However, avoid pranayama practice during the actual coughing bouts. Practicing abhyanga, or self-oil massage with warm sesame oil, can have calming effects on your nervous system.
If over-the-counter treatment doesn’t give respite, visiting a qualified Ayurvedic doctor is advised. Chronic cough persisting over this length may require personal assessment that takes into account your unique prakriti and lifestyle. Quick relief approaches shouldn’t replace a personalized plan built by a professional.
