In Ayurveda, a persistent cough is often associated with an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which can be aggravated by factors such as cold weather, improper diet, or excess mucus in the respiratory system. Since you’ve avoided allopathic medicine, I would recommend focusing on warming, decongesting treatments to pacify the Kapha dosha. You can try natural remedies like herbal teas with ginger, tulsi, and black pepper, which help clear mucus and soothe the throat. Warm water with a pinch of turmeric and honey can also support your immune system and reduce inflammation. Additionally, inhaling steam infused with essential oils like eucalyptus or using Ayurvedic oils like "Chyawanprash" can be beneficial. It's important to maintain a warm diet (avoiding cold and heavy foods) and rest, as this will help in restoring balance and alleviating the cough. If the symptoms persist or worsen, an Ayurvedic consultation for personalized remedies is advisable.

Excessive cough for 8 days can be a sign of an imbalance in the body's kapha dosha, which is responsible for mucus production and fluid balance. Ayurveda suggests addressing the root cause, which may be related to poor digestion, weak immunity, or environmental factors like cold and dampness. To manage this, I recommend using natural remedies such as honey with warm water, ginger tea, or a decoction of tulsi, ginger, and black pepper to clear the mucus and balance kapha. Herbal formulations like Sitopaladi Churna or Talisadi Churna can also help in expelling excess phlegm and relieving coughing. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil may also be beneficial. In addition, avoiding cold foods, dairy, and fried items will prevent further aggravation of kapha. A warm, light diet and adequate hydration will support the body’s healing process. If the cough persists or worsens, a consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner is advised for personalized treatment.
