What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition where the airways become narrow and inflamed. This leads to difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness.
In Ayurveda, Asthma is referred to as “Swasa Roga”, and it is understood as an imbalance of the body’s Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) affecting the lungs and prana vaha srotas (respiratory channels).

Common Symptoms of Asthma

• Shortness of breath or feeling breathless
• Wheezing (whistling sound while breathing)
• Frequent coughing, especially at night or early morning
• Tightness or heaviness in the chest
• Difficulty in breathing during cold weather or after physical activity

Causes of Asthma

• Allergies (dust, smoke, pollen, pets)
• Seasonal or sudden weather changes
• Pollution and cold air
• Stress and anxiety
• Genetic/hereditary factors

Panchvedam Approach for Asthma

At Panchvedam, Asthma treatment is not just about managing attacks, but about treating the root cause and strengthening the respiratory system.

Our 4-Step Healing Process:

1. Pulse Diagnosis (Nadi Pariksha) – Understanding the patient’s body constitution (Prakriti) and the depth of imbalance.
2. Panchkarma Therapies –
   • Vaman (therapeutic emesis) to clear excess Kapha from the lungs.
   • Swedan (herbal steam therapy) to open respiratory channels.
3. Herbal Medicines – Natural herbs like Vasa, Yashtimadhu, Tulsi, Ginger, and Haldi are prescribed to reduce inflammation and ease breathing.
4. Diet & Lifestyle Guidance –
   • Avoid cold, heavy, and oily food.
   • Include ginger, garlic, turmeric, and warm water.
   • Regular Pranayama and light yoga to improve lung capacity.
