Interstitial lung disease treatment in Ayurveda - #3366

Anonymously

My dad was recently diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, and we’re looking for alternative treatments to complement his allopathic care. I came across some information on interstitial lung disease treatment in Ayurveda, and I’m curious to know how effective it is for managing symptoms like shortness of breath and chronic coughing. Are there specific herbs or therapies in Ayurveda that help with improving lung function? I’ve heard about herbal tonics like vasaka and tulsi for respiratory issues, but I’m not sure if they are used for interstitial lung disease treatment in Ayurveda. We’re also wondering if detoxification therapies like Panchakarma could help clear out toxins and support lung health. Would treatments like this work for someone who’s already on steroids and other medications? If anyone has tried interstitial lung disease treatment in Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about your results. Did it improve quality of life, and how long did it take to see benefits?

Ayurveda offers supportive therapies for interstitial lung disease (ILD) that may help manage symptoms like breathlessness and chronic coughing, focusing on improving lung function, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall vitality. Herbs like vasaka (Adhatoda vasica), tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), and pippali (long pepper) are often used for their mucolytic, anti-inflammatory, and bronchodilatory properties. Formulations like Dashmoolarishta and Sitopaladi Churna can support respiratory health and ease coughing. Ayurvedic oils and steam inhalation with medicated herbs may also provide relief. Detoxification therapies like Panchakarma—specifically Virechana (purgation) and Nasya (nasal therapy)—are used to remove toxins and improve lung health. However, these should only be undertaken under the supervision of an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner, particularly for individuals already on steroids or other medications, to avoid interactions and complications. Ayurvedic treatments for ILD typically aim to complement allopathic care rather than replace it. While they may not reverse the condition, they can potentially improve quality of life by managing symptoms, reducing medication side effects, and enhancing energy levels. Benefits may be noticed within a few weeks to months, depending on the individual’s constitution and the severity of the disease. Consulting a practitioner with expertise in chronic respiratory conditions is essential to create a tailored treatment plan.
