What is Asthma?
Asthma is a disorder of the lungs, in which an individual’s airways become inflamed, narrow, swelled, and produce extra mucus, which makes breathing difficult. According to Ayurveda, Asthma is termed"Swasa Roga.”It is a respiratory disorder caused by an imbalance of the Vata dosha (air element) and Kapha dosha (water and earth element) in the body.Asthma is caused by the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body, which disrupts the balance of the doshas and blocks the flow of prana (life force) in the respiratory system. Ayurvedic Treatment for Asthma plays a vital role in the healing process of asthma. ‘Pranavaha Sroto Vikara’ is the term used for asthma in Ayurvedic text that causes regular breathing difficulties.
Types of Asthma
These are the main types of Asthma. Moreover, the Treatment of Asthma in Ayurveda has amazing healing power.
Allergic Asthma
It is a breathing condition where the airways get tightened because of an allergic reaction. It happens because of various common factors like pollen, mold spores, dust mites, pet dander, and cockroach debris. This type of asthma is fairly seen in children and adults.
Non-allergic Asthma
Non-allergic asthma is a condition that tends to affect a significant portion of individuals after they reach middle age. It does not take place due to an allergic reaction but by factors such as cold air, infections, or stress.
Cough-Variant Asthma
The specific feature is a dry, nonproductive cough. There can be no traditional asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath or wheezing. The only symptom which persists is a continued cough.
Occupational asthma
It is caused directly by the work an individual does. Occupational asthma can be caused by several things. For example, if you work in a flour mill or bakery your symptoms can flare up. Additionally, it occurs due to the nature of the job and exposure to chemicals or irritants in the workplace, such as dust, fumes, or gases.
Childhood asthma
The lungs and airways become easily inflamed when exposed to certain triggers (flare-ups). Such triggers include catching a cold and inhaling pollen. Childhood asthma can be a cause that interferes with the sports, play, studies, school, and sleep schedules of children.
Adult-onset asthma
When asthma symptoms appear and are diagnosed in adults older than 20 years of age, it is usually known as adult-onset asthma. It is different from childhood asthma, which starts in early childhood. Adult-onset asthma can occur in people who had never experienced asthma symptoms before or in those who had asthma as children but had a period of remission.
Exercise-induced asthma
The medical term for this condition is exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. When the airways squeeze or narrow during intense physical activity. It causes shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and other symptoms during or after exercise. It occurs frequently in dry and cold air. Eventually, the airway narrows for 5 to 20 minutes after the beginning of physical activity, making it difficult to breathe.
Night time (Nocturnal) Asthma
In the night, asthma symptoms are much higher during sleep because asthma is powerfully influenced by the sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythms). Your asthma symptoms of coughing, wheezing, and difficulty in breathing are common and dangerous, particularly at night.
Causes of Asthma
Here are the causes of asthma, which are as follows:
Poor digestion is one of the primary causes of asthma. It leads to the formation of toxins (ama) in the body, which, ultimately aggravates the Kapha Dosha and leads to asthma.
Foods that are cold, heavy, and oily, like dairy products, fried foods, and ice cream, can aggravate the Kapha Dosha which leads to difficulty in breathing.
Allergens in the atmosphere such as dust, pollen, and animal dander, can aggravate the Kapha Dosha.
It is also an important factor that can lead to anxiety and it is hazardous for health.
Lack of exercise and improper irregular sleeping patterns and consumption of alcohol, smoking, and other drugs, can contribute to the development of asthma.
