About Asthma (Tamaka Shwasa)
Tamaka Shwasa · Hikka-Shwasa · ആസ്ത്മ
Ayurvedic understanding
Charaka describes 5 types of Shwasa (dyspnoea) — Tamaka Shwasa corresponds to modern bronchial asthma. Etiology: Kapha-Medas dushti combined with Vata Pranavaha-srotas vitiation. Triggers: cold + damp climate, Kapha-heavy diet, allergens, stress. Ayurveda treats the predisposition (Prakriti correction) rather than only the acute attack.
Kerala treatments
Vasarishta is the classical Tamaka Shwasa formulation — taken twice daily, reduces attack frequency over 3–6 months. Sitopaladi Choornam with honey for productive cough. Vamana Panchakarma (controlled emesis under physician supervision) clears excess Kapha and is the most disease-modifying intervention available. Inhalers must continue.
Classical formulations
Always prescribed and monitored by a verified BAMS doctor. Self-medication, particularly with Rasaushadhis (mineral preparations), can cause harm.

Lifestyle & Aahar-Vihar
- •Continue your prescribed inhaler — Ayurveda complements, never replaces.
- •Eliminate Kapha aggravators: dairy after evening, cold/iced drinks, deep-fried food.
- •Steam inhalation with Tulsi + Pudina at first sign of congestion.
- •Daily Pranayama: Anuloma-Viloma + Bhastrika (only outside attack), starting from 5 min.
- •Avoid dust, smoke, AC drafts. Use HEPA filter if possible.
Important
Patient outcomes for Asthma (Tamaka Shwasa) are highly individual. Patterns of dosha-imbalance, duration of disease, and existing co-morbidities determine the right protocol — which is why every plan on AyurConnect is doctor-prescribed, never self-administered.
