How to treat my 72-year-old mother’s asthma and dry cough with diabetes? - #53117

Hello I understand your concern. For your mother, age 72, with asthma, dry cough, and diabetes, the treatment should be gentle, blood sugar–friendly, and focused on reducing Vata-Kapha imbalance. Early morning worsening is common in such cases due to Vata dominance. For internal medication: Sitopaladi Churna – ½ tsp twice daily with warm water or honey (if sugar allows) Vasa Avaleha – 1 tsp twice daily after food Tulsi Kwath – 1 cup warm in the morning External support: Steam inhalation with Tulsi or Ajwain Gentle chest massage with Mahanarayana Taila or warm sesame oil Lifestyle tips: Avoid cold, heavy, oily, and dairy-heavy foods Keep warm, especially in the morning Ensure regular hydration with warm water Monitor her sugar closely while using honey or Avaleha. If she develops fever, wheezing, or breathlessness, see a doctor immediately. -Medicines: Sitopaladi Churna Vasa Avaleha Tulsi Kwath Warm Regards Dr Raghuveer SN
