Ayurveda says that shwasa (asthma) is a major respiratory ailment that is mostly caused by an imbalance of the Vata and Kapha doshas that affects the breathing channels (Pranavaha Srotas). Kapha produces blockage because of too much mucus, and exacerbated Vata makes it challenging to breathe and causes airflow problems. Dust, smoke, cold temperatures, allergies, infections, and unhealthy eating habits, including eating heavy, fatty, and cold foods, can all cause this illness.
Shwasa symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing (particularly at night or in the early morning), and trouble breathing out. Patients may also feel anxious, exhausted, and like they can't breathe during acute attacks. Ayurveda talks about many kinds of Shwasa, and Tamaka Shwasa is very similar to bronchial asthma.

Management's goal is to eliminate Kapha blockages and balance Vata so that breathing can return to normal. It is best to eat foods that are warm, light, and easy to digest. Avoid foods that are chilly and heavy. Herbal medicines, including Vasaka, Kantakari, Tulsi, and Pippali, can aid with breathing, inflammation, and getting rid of mucus. In long-term situations, therapies including steam inhalation and Panchakarma procedures like Vamana (therapeutic emesis) may be recommended. For long-term control, you need to exercise regularly, do breathing exercises (Pranayama), and stay away from things that make you feel horrible.
