Hello Nancy, I can understand your dry cough. At 21, having a persistent dry cough for 2–3 months despite taking medicines (allopathic & Ayurvedic) shows that the root cause is still active. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Sitopaladi Churna + honey (½ tsp, 2–3 times daily) soothes dry cough. 2.Talisadi Churna with warm water ½ tsp with honey helps in chronic dry cough with weakness. 3 Agastya rasyana 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm water ( heals lung internally)
✅HOME REMEDIES
Warm water sips throughout the day. Steam inhalation with ajwain or tulsi leaves (once daily). Chew clove or mulethi stick slowly to reduce irritation. Turmeric milk with black pepper at night.
✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE
Avoid cold drinks, ice cream, curd at night, and oily/heavy foods. Prefer warm, light, easily digestible meals (mung dal soup, vegetable khichdi). Do not sleep immediately after meals. Pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) – strengthens lungs and calms throat irritation. Maintain regular sleep, avoid late nights.
Consistency is key – in chronic bronchitis, Ayurveda works best with gradual but steady results.
For your 2–3 months dry cough, along with medicines, emphasize soothing herbs (Sitopaladi,Talisadi), warm diet, steam inhalation, and pranayama.
This combined approach helps not just in suppressing the cough but in healing the respiratory system from its root.
Wish you a good health😊

For your persistent dry cough and suspected chronic bronchitis, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach focusing on addressing the underlying dosha imbalances and enhancing your respiratory health. Chronic bronchitis often ties back to an imbalance primarily involving Vata and Kapha doshas, affecting Prana Vata and Shleshaka Kapha. Here’s what you can try based on Ayurvedic principles:
First off, in Ayurveda, correcting the diet is crucial. Avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods that could aggravate Kapha. Opt for warm, light meals with a hint of spice – ginger, black pepper, and turmeric can be added to aid digestion and balance doshas. Sipping warm herbal teas, especially those containing ginger or tulsi (holy basil), can be soothing and help alleviate coughing.
A recommended herbal formulation you can consider is Sitopaladi Churna, traditionally used for respiratory issues and coughs. Mix with honey and consume a teaspoon thrice daily. Honey itself has a demulcent effect, soothing the throat and suppressing the cough reflex.
For lifestyle changes, think about practicing Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anuloma Viloma to strengthen your lungs and balance the Vata dosha. Perform this daily, preferably in the morning.
Adding a regimen of steam inhalation with eucalyptus or peppermint oil once daily might also help in clearing the air passages, providing relief from the dry cough.
It’s essential to maintain a routine of regular bowel movements, as constipation can lead to an exacerbation of symptoms. A gentle laxative like Triphala at night could assist in maintaining digestive health.
Before incorporating these recommendations, consult an Ayurvedic doctor to tailor treatments to your specific needs. If your symptoms persist, professional medical evaluation should be prioritized to rule out complications. Ensure to monitor any changes and keep track of what helps alleviate or worsen your symptoms.

HELLO NANCY,
-You’ve had dry cough for 2-3 months. when a cough lasts beyond 8 weeks, doctors call it Chronic cough, and it can have many causes -Post infections irritation (after flu/bronchitis) -allergic bronchitis or mild asthma -acid reflux irritating th throat -chronic infections like TB in some regions
In Ayurveda, long-standing dry cough is linked to rasa roga, mostly due to vata imbalance (dryness, irregularity) with sometimes kapha involvement (phlegm that’s her to expel)
So the main issue is - your respiratory tract lining is irritated and dry, not healing fully, and keeps triggering cough reflexes
TREATMENT GOALS -Soothe the irritated airways-> reduce cough frequency and intensity -improve lung strength-> better immunity and resilience -correct the root imbalance (vata/kapha disturbance) -prevent recurrence by strengthening digestion, immunity, and lifestyle habits
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + YASHTIMADHU CHURA + TALISADI CHURNA= 2 gm each with honey twice daily afte meals =relieves dry cough, mild expectorant, coats throat , heals irritation
2) VASAVALEHA= 1 tsp twice daily with lukewarm water =strengthens lungs, good for chronic kasa
3) KANTAKARI GHRITA= 10 ml daily with warm milk = balances vata, reduces dry irritation
DURATION= usually 6-8 weeks
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) OIL MASSAGE= with warm sesame oil-> calms vata, improves immunity
2) GENTLE STEAM INHALATION with tulsi leaves + ajwain seeds-> clears passages, relieves cough reflex
3) NASYA= 2 drops Anu taila in nostril every morning-> strengthens respiratory mucosa, prevents triggers
HOME REMEDIES -sip warm water through the day -chew mulethi stick like a lozenge -drink herbal tea (ginger+ tulsi + black pepper + honey) -A pinch of turmeric in warm milk at night -avoid cold ,fried, and heavy foods
DIET AND LIFESTYLE PREFER = warm soups, khichdi, green vegetables, ghee in moderation, herbal tea
AVOID = cold drinks, ice cream, curd at night, excessive sugar, smoking, dusty environments
SLEEP= early , regular sleep helps vata balance
HYDRATION= keep throat moist but avoid chilled water
YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata/kapha -Bhramari= soothes throat and mind -Kapalbhati
GENTLE YOGA -bhujangasana -matsyasana -setu bandhasana =opens the chest, improve lung capacity
INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED Since it’s lasting>2 months -Chest x-ray (rule out TB, Pneumonia, Structural problems) -Spirometry -blood test= CBC, ESR -Sputum test if cough is with phlegm at times
Chronic cough like yours is treatable, but it needs a combined approach -First, confirm there’s no hidden cause by investigation -Then, use Ayurvedic medicines, diet, and lifestyle to soothe and rebuild -With regular practice of pranayam and avoidance of triggers, most people see strong relief in 1-2 months
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

Addressing bronchitis, especially when it’s stubborn, requires understanding the root cause from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. Bronchitis can be linked to an imbalance in the kapha dosha, which affects the respiratory system and results in the buildup of mucus and congestion. If you’ve been dealing with this for several months, we need a multi-layered approach to address both symptoms and causes.
First, let’s start with diet and lifestyle. Avoid cold and oily foods, which can aggravate kapha. Opt for warm soups, herbal teas with ginger or tulsi, and light, freshly cooked meals. Including spices like black pepper, turmeric, and cumin can help balance kapha and improve digestion, which is crucial since the digestive fire (agni) influences respiratory health.
Next, consider some specific herbal formulations. Trikatu churna, a traditional blend of ginger, long pepper, and black pepper, can help clear congestion and improve respiratory function. Take half a teaspoon with honey once or twice a day between meals. Additionally, consuming chyawanprash in the morning on an empty stomach can boost your overall immunity and support lung health.
Practices like steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil once or twice daily can help alleviate dry cough. This hydrates your respiratory passages and provides relief. Breathing exercises, particularly pranayama, can enhance lung capacity and strengthen the respiratory system. Try starting with simple deep-breathing techniques daily, gradually moving to more advanced practices as you feel comfortable.
In terms of lifestyle adjustments, ensure you’re getting enough rest and managing stress, as both can impact your healing process. If there’s no significant improvement, or if symptoms worsen, consult an Ayurvedic physician or a healthcare provider. Balancing your prakriti and doshas needs personalized advice, especially for persistent conditions. It’s important to secure medical attention if needed, to ensure there are no serious underlying issues at play.
KINDLY START
1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + honey= 1/2 tsp twice daily
2) TALSIADI CHURNA + warm water= 1/2 tsp churna + warm water
3) IMMUNOCIL TABLET= 1-0-1
4) VASAVALEHA= 1 tsp after meals twice daily
5) KANAKASAVA= 20 ml twice daily
Warm mustard oil + saindhava salt massage on chest daily
