Current lifestyle and environmental factors both are affecting the health of today’s generation. Conditions like asthma, bronchitis and allergies are very common. In Ayurvedic terms, Respiratory disorders are termed “Swasha Roga”. Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach to understanding and treating these disorders by focusing on balancing the doshas of your body. It also asks to eliminate toxins (Ama) for better health of your respiratory disorders .
Ayurvedic View on Respiratory Disorders:
Dosha Imbalance:
Vata Dosha: There is a high chance of Imbalance in Vata can cause dryness and irregularity in the respiratory tract which leads to conditions like dry cough and asthma.Pitta Dosha: Excess Pitta can result in inflammation and heat in the respiratory system, manifesting as infections, fever, and inflammatory conditions like bronchitis.
Kapha Dosha: Imbalance in Kapha leads to the accumulation of mucus and phlegm, causing congestion, colds, and sinusitis.
Ama (Toxins):
Accumulation of Ama due to poor digestion can block the channels (srotas) in the respiratory system, leading to various disorders.
Ojas (Vital Energy):
Depleted Ojas, the essence of vitality and immunity, can weaken the respiratory system and make it more susceptible to disorders.
