When dealing with multiple chronic issues like indigestion, constipation, respiratory problems, and lifestyle habits like smoking, it is important to understand how these are interconnected. Ayurveda considers digestion as central to health, known as Agni. An imbalance in Agni may be underlying your symptoms. For dietary changes, consider focusing on easily digestible foods. Include warm, cooked meals rather than raw or cold foods. Ginger tea could be beneficial to stimulate your Agni and aid digestion, drink prior meals.

For constipation and bloating, incorporating triphala powder might help. Take a teaspoon with warm water before bed. Follow a routine with meals at the same times each day to regulate your system. Meanwhile, yoga or light exercises like pranayama can improve respiratory functions. Anuloma Viloma (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhramari, done ideally in the morning, can calm Kapha, often associated with respiratory tract issues like COPD and allergies.

Regarding smoking and tea addiction, both can aggravate Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to dryness and irritation in the body. Reducing gradually, replacing smoking with chewing a clove or cardamom may curb the craving. Instead of regular tea, try herbal teas or a golden milk made from turmeric and almond milk, it offers calming properties.

Lastly, frequent itching might be a sign of toxin build-up; sip warm water through the day to improve metabolism and remove toxins. Do consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can tailor remedies specific to your body constitution and ensure you get a comprehensive plan, especially as these symptoms are persisting and may need personalized adjustments.

Based on your symptoms, there’s a clear indication of an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas. Chronic indigestion, constipation, bloating, and gas point to impaired Agni (digestive fire) and may suggest Vata imbalance, while the respiratory issues such as allergic rhinitis, wheezing, COPD, frequent colds, and itching align more with Kapha. Such conditions often need a dual approach.

1. Dietary Adjustments: Incorporate warm, easily digestible foods like cooked vegetables, soups, and stews. Avoid raw foods, cold beverages, and oily, heavy, or processed items which could increase Kapha and disturb Vata. Spices like turmeric, ginger, and black pepper can aid digestion and improve respiratory function.

2. Herbal Remedies: For regulating digestion, consider Triphala powder, taken with warm water at night to relieve constipation. For respiratory concerns, Pippali (long pepper) with honey can support decongestion and reduce cold symptoms. Also, tulsi tea may be useful for enhancing respiratory health.

3. Lifestyle Practices: Pranayama, particularly Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing), can be beneficial for improving lung capacity and balancing doshas. Regular exercise that encourages sweating, but avoids overexertion, can help keep Kapha in check.

4. Avoiding Addictions: It’s crucial to work towards reducing and eventually eliminating smoking and excessive tea consumption, as these habits exacerbate your condition. Gradually reduce your intake, and replace them with herbal teas that support both digestion and respiratory health.

5. Observe Symptoms Closely: Given the chronic nature of these symptoms, if you notice any escalation, particularly with respiratory issues or infections, it would be important to seek immediate medical attention to rule out acute conditions.

It’s essential to monitor how your body responds, make gradual adjustments, and, when necessary, consult a qualified practitioner who can tailor recommendations to your specific constitution and current health state.
