Chronic Cough Ayurvedic Treatment - #7224
For the past few months, I’ve been struggling with a chronic cough that just won’t go away. It started as a mild irritation but has now become a persistent problem, especially at night. I’m tired of using cough syrups that only offer temporary relief, and I’m looking for a more holistic approach. I recently came across chronic cough Ayurvedic treatment and want to know how it works. From what I’ve learned, Ayurveda identifies chronic cough as a result of imbalances in Kapha or Vata doshas, depending on whether the cough is wet or dry. How does Ayurvedic treatment address these underlying imbalances, and are there specific remedies for different types of coughs? I’ve read that herbs like Tulsi, Yashtimadhu (licorice), Pippali (long pepper), and Ginger are commonly used in chronic cough Ayurvedic treatment. How should these herbs be prepared and consumed—for example, as teas, powders, or syrups? Are there any recommended combinations that work best for stubborn coughs? In addition to herbs, does Ayurveda recommend therapies like steam inhalation or gargling with herbal water? How often should these be done, and are they effective for long-term relief? Lastly, does diet play a role in Ayurvedic treatment for chronic cough? Should I avoid cold, fried, or heavy foods that might increase Kapha? Are there warming and soothing foods or drinks that help reduce irritation and support respiratory health?
