As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I understand how challenging asthma can be, especially when symptoms worsen during the summer months. Given your experience with homeopathy, Ayurveda, and allopathy without satisfactory relief, it may be beneficial to explore a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach to managing your condition.
In Ayurveda, asthma is often related to an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas, leading to increased mucus production and airway constriction. To address this, I recommend incorporating herbal formulations such as Vasaka (Adhatoda vasica) and Pippali (Piper longum), which are known for their bronchodilator and expectorant properties. Additionally, Turmeric (Curcuma longa) can be beneficial for its anti-inflammatory effects. Consider using Triphala for detoxification and Sitopaladi Churna, a traditional formulation that helps soothe the respiratory tract and may aid in relieving symptoms.
Furthermore, practices such as Pranayama (breath control exercises) can help improve lung function and increase respiratory capacity. It's essential to maintain a clean environment to avoid allergens, and you may also find relief from steam inhalation with eucalyptus or peppermint oil to open up the airways.
Since you are using an inhaler daily, it’s important to continue working with your healthcare provider to ensure your medications are managed appropriately. Regular monitoring of your asthma symptoms and triggers, combined with these Ayurvedic practices, may provide a more holistic approach to managing your condition and improving your overall quality of life.

Hello Hemant, what are your symptoms? Is there is any chest congestion or wheezing? Or is the asthma stress oriented? Also do you have constipation? These information is needed to suggest medication. In the meantime you can do chest massage with warm sesame oil + salt everyday before bath for 10 mins. These will easy the breathing. Pranayam is also benefiting if done everyday. Consider doing Panchakarma especially Virechan & Basti under a doctor’s guidance.

Asthma can be such a tricky thing, right? Especially when those summer months roll in. You feel you're doing everything you can, but some days, those triggers just seem relentless. While I'm here to chat about Ayurveda, remember—if you're having crisis moments with your breathing, please go see a doc immediately.
So, if we're looking at Ayurveda, asthma might tie into a mix of dosha imbalances. Changes in weather, like that summer heat, can mess with Vata and Kapha, which then exacerbates the asthma. It's crucial to manage these imbalances. One of the key parts here is keeping that agni—the digestive fire—intact. Start by sipping on warm water throughout the day. This can help keep the throat and airways clear—less phlegm, more breathing!
Herbal remedies like Sitopaladi churna or Talisadi churna with honey might do wonders too. They should be taken after meals. Also, turmeric and black pepper in warm milk at bedtime can be calming—sounds a bit cliché maybe, but it's good stuff.
Try to avoid dairy, fermented foods or cold drinks, they can increase mucus and aggravate Kapha. Opting for warm, freshly cooked meals can be nourishing and pacify the Vata and Kapha. Oh, and include spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel, which are good buddies of your digestive system.
Breathing exercises like Pranayama, especially Anulom Vilom, helps too. But slowly, don't rush or force things. It's about steady, easy breaths. And yeah, meditation. Calm the mind, calm the body (and breath too!).
I know you've given other therapies a shot, so keep that allopathic inhaler handy while exploring Ayurveda. Breathing is essential, and safety first, always! Sometimes a combined approach is the best approach.
