Asthma
Asthma is a condition in which
human airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make
breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you
breathe out and shortness of breath. Asthma treatment in Ayurveda is completely
personalized with personalized medication, diet and lifestyle. Asthma is caused
by consuming too much vata (cold), consuming kapha which makes food worse,
weakening of lung tissue, and problems caused by lung disease. Environmental
and lifestyle factors also play a role in asthma. Eating cold or stale foods is
not easily digestible and causes ama (mucus) to form, causing airway blockage
and difficulty in breathing.
