Introduction

World Asthma Day is celebrated across the globe on the third of May. The day is set aside to raise awareness about asthma and how those battling the condition can best equip themselves. It is a long-term inflammatory disease that affects the airways of the lungs and can cause symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.  While asthma cannot be cured permanently, it can be controlled to an extent that the symptoms become negligible and can be appropriately managed by patients. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 15 to 20 million people in India suffer from asthma. In this blog we will be looking at ayurvedic and natural remedies which can help the people suffering from this disease control their symptoms, and improve their quality of life.

Ayurvedic Remedies for Treating Asthma 

Triphala: Gut health plays an important role in managing asthma symptoms, and Triphala is an extremely important remedy for digestive health. Triphala is a combination of three gut friendly herbs; Amla, Haritaki and Bibhitaki. You can sip on triphala tea instead of your morning coffee. In case you don’t like the taste of Triphala, you can try taking triphala tablets.

Turmeric: Turmeric is said to possess multitudinous powers and due to its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric can help relieve asthmatic symptoms. Haridra Khandam is a very effective ayurvedic medicine for allergies that can also ease the lung congestion associated with asthma.

Dasamoola: Dasamoola is a potent combination of 10 herbal roots, and is effective in managing respiratory ailments. Agasthya-Rasayanam is a classical Ayurvedic formulation with extracts of Dasamoola and other herbs and is widely used to ease symptoms of asthma. 

Kapura: Camphor is a natural decongestant that helps in clearing the airways. Karpooradi thailam is a warming chest rub oil made from the Camphor-based recipes written in the 5,000 years old Ayurveda scriptures. It provides quick relief to clear airways and ease breathing.
