Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition affecting people of all ages, characterized by repeated episodes of breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness, and persistent coughing. In recent years, cases of asthma and other respiratory illnesses have been climbing, especially in urban areas, driven largely by worsening air pollution, seasonal changes, allergens, stress, and weakened immunity. Poor air quality places additional stress on the lungs: many Indian cities currently record unhealthy AQI levels, with parts of Maharashtra—including areas like Pimpri-Chinchwad—frequently reporting AQI values in the unhealthy to poor range, meaning the air contains elevated levels of fine particulates that can irritate airways and trigger asthma attacks. In northern India, cities often reach even higher very poor to hazardous AQI categories, creating serious risks for those with asthma, children, and the elderly. The Times of India+1
Modern medicine typically focuses on inhalers, bronchodilators, and steroids. These treatments are effective at relieving acute symptoms and preventing immediate airway constriction, but they often do not address long-term respiratory resilience or the underlying imbalances that predispose individuals to frequent flare-ups. In contrast, Ayurveda offers a holistic, natural, and long-term approach that aims to strengthen lung function, enhance immunity, and balance the body’s internal systems. By addressing digestive fire (Agni), reducing chronic inflammation, and balancing the dosha (especially Kapha and Vaata), Ayurvedic care seeks not only to ease symptoms but to improve overall respiratory health and resilience—especially valuable in times of poor air quality that repeatedly challenge the lungs.

🌬️ What is Asthma According to Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, asthma is known as Shwaasa which further classified as Tamaka Shwaasa, Pratamaka Shwaasa as per dosha conjunction.
It mainly occurs due to an imbalance of Vaata and Kapha Dosha, leading to obstruction in the respiratory channels i.e. Praanavaha Srotas.
Common Ayurvedic causes include:
-
Accumulation of Kapha in the lungs
-
Weak digestive fire (Mandaagni)
-
Exposure to dust, smoke, cold air
-
Cold, heavy, oily foods
-
Recurrent cough and cold
-
Stress and lack of sleep
