HELLO RUCHIKA,

From what you described -you get breathlessness very quickly while walking or doing small work -you depend on inhaler for relief -dust, perfumes, and strong smells trigger sneezing and difficulty in breathing -fatigue and weakness come easily

In modern medicine, this is usually called Allergic asthma/chronic airway hypersensitivity

In Ayurveda, this matches Tamaka Shwaas, a condition caused by kapha (phlegm/mucus) blocking the airways and vata becoming disturbed, leading to -breathlessness -wheezing -sneezing -chest tightness -weakness

TREATMENT GOALS -reduce frequency and severity of attacks -decrease dependence on inhaler - gradually not suddenly -strengthen lung capacity and immunity -balance kapha and vata dosha -prevent triggers- dust, cold, perfume, heavy food -improve digestion and metabolism -because weak digestion increases mucus formation

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) SHITOPALADI CHURNA + TALISADI CHURNA= 2gm each with honey twice daily =clears mucus, reduces cough and sneezing, improves breathing, reduces breathlessness

2) YASHTIMADHU POWDER= 1/2 tsp with warm water twice daily =soothes airway lining, reduces irritation

3) KANTAKAR AVALEHA= 2 tsp daily in mornnig =improves lung strength, immunity booster

4) HARIDRA (turmeric) with BLACK PEPPER in warm milk at night =anti allergic, reduces airway inflammation

DURATION= at least 2-3 mnoths for noticeable improvement

EXTERNALLY

1) STEAM INHALATION= with tulsi leaves/ajwain seeds daily =opens blocked airways

2) NASYA= 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning =lubricates airways, reduces allergy response

3) CHEST MASSAGE= with warm mustard oil before bath 2-3 times/week =relieves chest tightness

HOME REMEDIES -Tulsi + giner + honey decoction once daily -black pepper powder with honey-1/2 tsp once daily -warm water sip sip throughout the day -garlic boiled in milk at night occasionally for lung strength -clove chewing helps in throat irritation

DIET -warm water, herbal teas -moong dal, lauki, pumpkin, ridge gourd -ginger, garlic, turmeric -honey raw but never heated

AVOID -cold water, ice creams, soft drinks -curd at night, cheese, panner -deep fried, heavy oily food -bakeryitems, fast food -smoking, alcohol

LIFESTYLE AND YOGA -Avoid exposure to dust, smoke, perfume, cold wind -keep home clean, dust free

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances vata -bhramari= calms mind, opens chest -kapalbhati= clears mucus

YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana -matsyasana -ardha matsyendrasana -setu bandhasana

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -Spirometry/pulmonary function test- to assess lung capacity -allergy test -chest X-ray

-Your problem is chronic but manageable -do not stop inhaler suddenly- ayurveda works as supportive therapy to reduce attacks in Lon run -with a kapha balancing diet, pranayam, herbs, and detox therapies you can expect –reduced frequency of attacks –less allergy response –better stamina and energy –gradual reduction in inhaler use

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

नमस्ते रुचिका,

आपने जो बताया, उसके अनुसार -चलते या छोटा-मोटा काम करते समय आपको बहुत जल्दी साँस फूलने लगती है -आप राहत के लिए इनहेलर पर निर्भर रहते हैं -धूल, परफ्यूम और तेज़ गंध से छींक और साँस लेने में तकलीफ़ होती है -थकान और कमज़ोरी आसानी से आ जाती है

आधुनिक चिकित्सा में, इसे आमतौर पर एलर्जिक अस्थमा/क्रोनिक एयरवे हाइपरसेंसिटिविटी कहा जाता है

आयुर्वेद में, यह ताम्र श्वास से मिलता-जुलता है, जो कफ (कफ/बलगम) के कारण वायुमार्ग अवरुद्ध होने और वात के बिगड़ने के कारण होता है, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप -साँस फूलना -घरघराहट -छींक आना -सीने में जकड़न -कमज़ोरी

उपचार के लक्ष्य -दौरों की आवृत्ति और गंभीरता को कम करना -इनहेलर पर निर्भरता कम करना - अचानक नहीं, धीरे-धीरे -फेफड़ों की क्षमता और प्रतिरक्षा को मज़बूत करना -कफ और वात दोष को संतुलित करना -धूल, सर्दी, परफ्यूम, भारी भोजन जैसे ट्रिगर्स से बचाव -पाचन और चयापचय में सुधार -क्योंकि कमज़ोर पाचन बलगम के निर्माण को बढ़ाता है

आंतरिक औषधियाँ

1) शीतोपलादि चूर्ण + तालीसादि चूर्ण = 2 ग्राम प्रत्येक शहद के साथ दिन में दो बार =बलगम साफ़ करता है, खांसी और छींक कम करता है, साँस लेने में सुधार करता है, साँस फूलने की समस्या कम करता है

2) यष्टिमधु चूर्ण = आधा चम्मच गर्म पानी के साथ दिन में दो बार =श्वसन नली की परत को आराम देता है, जलन कम करता है

3) कंटकार अवलेह = सुबह 2 चम्मच प्रतिदिन =फेफड़ों की शक्ति बढ़ाता है, रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता बढ़ाता है

4) रात में गर्म दूध में काली मिर्च के साथ हरिद्र (हल्दी) =एलर्जीरोधी, श्वास नली की सूजन कम करता है

अवधि = ध्यान देने योग्य सुधार के लिए कम से कम 2-3 महीने

बाहरी रूप से

1) भाप लेना = तुलसी के पत्तों/अजवाइन के बीजों के साथ प्रतिदिन =अवरुद्ध श्वास नली को खोलता है

2) नस्य = प्रतिदिन सुबह प्रत्येक नथुने में अणु तेल की 2 बूँदें =चिकनाई प्रदान करता है वायुमार्गों में जलन कम करता है, एलर्जी की प्रतिक्रिया को कम करता है

3) छाती की मालिश = नहाने से पहले गर्म सरसों के तेल से सप्ताह में 2-3 बार = सीने की जकड़न से राहत

घरेलू उपचार - तुलसी + अदरक + शहद का काढ़ा दिन में एक बार - शहद के साथ काली मिर्च पाउडर - दिन में एक बार आधा चम्मच - दिन भर घूंट-घूंट करके गर्म पानी लें - फेफड़ों की मजबूती के लिए कभी-कभी रात में दूध में उबाला हुआ लहसुन लें - लौंग चबाने से गले की जलन में आराम मिलता है

आहार - गर्म पानी, हर्बल चाय - मूंग दाल, लौकी, कद्दू, तुरई - अदरक, लहसुन, हल्दी - कच्चा शहद, लेकिन कभी गर्म न करें

इनसे बचें - ठंडा पानी, आइसक्रीम, शीतल पेय - रात में दही, पनीर, पनीर - तले हुए, भारी तेल वाले भोजन - बेकरी उत्पाद, फास्ट फूड - धूम्रपान, शराब

जीवनशैली और योग - धूल, धुएं, इत्र, ठंडी हवा के संपर्क में आने से बचें - घर को साफ रखें, धूल मुफ़्त

प्राणायाम -अनुलोम विलोम = वात को संतुलित करता है -भ्रामरी = मन को शांत करता है, वक्ष को खोलता है -कपालभाति = बलगम साफ़ करता है

योग आसन -भुजंगासन -मत्स्यासन -अर्ध मत्स्येन्द्रासन -सेतु बंधासन

आवश्यक जाँचें -स्पाइरोमेट्री/पल्मोनरी फंक्शन टेस्ट - फेफड़ों की क्षमता का आकलन करने के लिए -एलर्जी परीक्षण -छाती का एक्स-रे

-आपकी समस्या पुरानी है लेकिन नियंत्रण में है -इन्हेलर को अचानक बंद न करें - आयुर्वेद लंबे समय में दौरे कम करने के लिए सहायक चिकित्सा के रूप में काम करता है -कफ संतुलन आहार, प्राणायाम, जड़ी-बूटियों और डिटॉक्स थेरेपी से आप उम्मीद कर सकते हैं -दौरों की आवृत्ति में कमी -एलर्जी प्रतिक्रिया में कमी -बेहतर सहनशक्ति और ऊर्जा -इन्हेलर के उपयोग में धीरे-धीरे कमी

अनुसरण करें

उम्मीद है कि यह मददगार होगा

धन्यवाद आप

डॉ. मैत्री आचार्य

Aapki breathing ki problem aur fatigue ka reason sambhavit roop se dosha imbalance ho sakta hai, yeh main respiratory system ka imbalance dikhata hai. Aasthma ya kisi bhi respiratory distress ko rule out karna zaroori hai, toh kisi competent healthcare professional se consult karein. Ab kuch ayurvedic sujhaav jo aap ghar pe apna sakte hain.

Pehla, apni diet par focus karein. Khane mein tulsi patta ka churna ya tulsi chai ko shamil karein. Yeh vaata aur kapha vitiation ko balance karne mein madadgar hoti hai. Thoda adrak aur shahad bhi include kar sakte hain, yeh bronchodilator ki tarah kaam kar sakta hai.

Dusra, pranayama exercises daily routine mein shamil karein. Anulom-Vilom aur Bhramari prakriya aapki breathing aur vitals yojana ko improve karne mein help karega. Early morning ke samay 15-20 minute ka samay in exercises mein lagayein. Yeh aapki fatigue ko kam karne ka kaam karega.

Ghratika or steam inhalation with herbal oils jaise ki eucalyptus ya kapoor ka bhi use karein. Yeh nasal passages ko clear karne aur allergen effects ko reduce karne ke liye madad karega. Everyday, soone se pehle, ek simple steamer mein thoda eucalyptus oil daalein aur inhale karein.

Jaldi thakne ke liye, diet mein iron-rich foods jaise spinach, beetroot aur jaggery include karein. Yeh iron deficiency ki wajah se hone wale fatigue ko cover karega. Viruddha aahara, yaalam yathan should be strictly avoid.

Yadi perfume aur dust allergy cause ho rahi, toh mask ka istemal karein jab aap crowd mein hoon. Sookshmata se observe karein, barish ke environment mein sezdaari aur asthma like distinctive symptoms toh nahi badhate.

Yadi condition men koi sudden aur severe worsening dikhta hai, toh immediate medical consultation lena mahatvapurn hai. Ayurveda ke saath allopathy treatment ko bhi consider karein agar severe asthma ya allergy suspect kiya jaye.

Aapke symptomse aisa lagta hai ki aapko respiratory system se judi kuch samasya hai, jise ghar-eloo upaayon aur Ayurvedic tarike se kuch matra tak samhala ja sakta hai. Lekin zaroorat padne par allopathic dawa ka istemal bhi jaroori hai. Aap jyada serious conditions ke liye doctor se sampark karein kyunki yeh immediate care demand karte hain.

Aap sabse pehle din kaum se kam 10-15 minute sukshma pranayama karna shuru karein. Yeh nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) aur kapalbhati pranayama ki madad se aapki breathing efficiency badh sakti hai aur prana vayu balance rahata hai. Pranayama ke dauran, gyaani jagah pe dyaan dein jahan pollution kam ho.

Din bhar me tulsi aur mulethi ki chai pine se aapko allergies se rahat mil sakti hai, kyunki yey ingredients vata aur kapha ki imbalance ko shant karte hain. Ek glass garam dudh me thoda sa haldi mila kar raat ko peene se bhi immune system mazboot hota hai.

Khud ko jaldi thakne se bachne ke liye, apni diet me chitkara khane kam karein aur fiber rich aur light khana apnaayen jaise moong dal, chawal aur seasonal sabziyo ka istemal aapke digestive agni ko balance rakhta hai.

Aekanand ke liye, ghrataabhyanga (body massage) try karein jisse aapko thakan se rahat milegi aur stress bhi kam hoga. Aap isme tila tail yaa sesame tail ka upayog kar sakte hain.

Agar condition control nahi ho rahi aur aapko asthma ya respiratory allergy me fark nahi pad raha, to doctor se milna jaruri hai. Yeh suggestions aapko symptomatic relief denge lekin underlying condition ko jyada clinical intervention ki zaroorat ho sakti hai.

Dhyan rakhein ki serious symptoms par allopathic doctor se consult zaroor karna chahiye.

HELLO RUCHIKA,

Ayurvedic Treatment for Breathing Problems 1. Dietary Advice (Pathya) Consume warm, cooked food; do not have cold, heavy, oily, or fried food. Use light grains such as rice, oats, and barley. Prefer ghee, honey (raw, in small quantities), and warm herb teas (such as tulsi, ginger, or black pepper tea). Shun smoky, dusty, fried, or highly processed foods. Restrict dairy if it makes mucus more.

2. Herbs & Supplements (Recommended) Tulsi (Holy Basil) – 3-4 leaves per day or tulsi tea. Vasa (Malabar Nut) – assists in chronic cough relief; typically in the form of churna or decoction. Licorice (Yashtimadhu) – relaxes the respiratory system; take ½ tsp powder with warm water or milk. Turmeric (Haldi) – anti-inflammatory; mix with milk or food. Triphala Churna – for immune system and lung well-being overall.

3. Breathing & Exercise (Pranayama & Yoga) Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing) – 5-10 min/day. Bhramari (Bee Breath) – quiets lungs and decreases stress. Deep diaphragmatic breathing – inhale slowly through nose, fill abdomen, exhale slowly. Slow yoga stretches (such as Bhujangasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana) enhance lung capacity. No strenuous physical activity until inhaler use is regulated.

4. Lifestyle & Environment Home, dust-free; avoid overpowering perfumes, smoking, or pollution. Warm steam inhalation with tulsi or ginger, once a day. Regular sleep and hydration. Control stress; anxiety can exacerbate breathlessness.

5. Daily Routine (Dinacharya) Morning wake-up call, do gentle stretching. Drink small sips of warm water during the day. Do frequent, short pranayama sessions rather than long sessions at first.

Important: This Ayurvedic regimen can help your lungs, decongest mucus, and build stamina, but it does not substitute for inhalers or medication ordered by your doctor. Never discontinue your pulmonologist’s treatment and see your doctor before adding new herbs.

THANK YOU

DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
