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.
