Ayurvedic Concept of Respiratory Diseases

Get to Parijatak to Unlock the Ayurvedic Secrets of Respiratory Diseases

Respiratory problems affect everybody at least once in their lifetime. It might be because of the common cold, some allergies or age factor, but everybody has or could experience the breathing issues at some time. After all, being able to breathe is not always as easy as it seems to be.

In Ayurveda, breathing problems (dyspnea) are referred to as “Svasa”. Interestingly, the breathing disorders are categorized as per Ayurveda on the basis of breathing that is created by them and not the type of doshic disturbance that causes them.

The 5 types of svasa are:

·         KsudraSvasa – It is the heavy breathing that one experiences after exercising or eating too much. The condition can basically be caused due to any activity that taxes the respiratory system, thus resulting in increased respiration.

·         ChinnaSvasa – This is the more critical condition which occurs during the onset of terminal illness in the body. It is basically the interrupted breathing that is experienced somewhat near the time of death. Used as a synonym to ‘Cheyne-Strokes’. When a person experiences this condition, their one eye gets red and both the eyes gaze downwards. In most cases, it leads to coma.

·         Mahan Svasa – This is known as “The Great Dyspnea” as it is the most serious of all the breathing ailments. The breathing sound in this condition can be described as being similar to that of a bull in heat and it is accompanied by a very high pitched sound. The patients who experience the condition of mahansvasa are mostly delusional and about to die.

·         TamakaSvasa – Often used as a synonym to the condition of bronchial asthma, tamasasvasa is basically the condition of forceful respiration which results in great distress. Primarily known to be caused because of the kaphadosha, the patient gazes upward and his eyes are wide open when he experiences an attack. The believers of ayurveda also attribute this condition to the karmas of past life because of the indiscriminate killing of animals practiced by them.

·         UrdhvaSvasa – It is basically the inability of an individual to inhale which usually occurs when a person is experiencing an extreme level of fear. Often accompanied with the mouth being covered in mucous, the eyes of the patient gaze upward and sometimes the eyeballs may also roll back. However, urdhvasvasa is not exactly correlated with any of the syndromes that are identified and explained in the modern medical science.

Management of Case

In Ayurveda, the management of the respiratory disorder begins with the identification of the doshic disturbance that caused it. For proper management, not only the respiratory system is taken care of but the digestive system also needs to be checked as it is considered to be the physical root for all the disorders. Also, as most of the cases of asthma or breathing inabilities are caused due to the triggering of certain emotions, it is very important that an individual’s mind is paid proper attention to.

For all the 5 conditions, the lifestyle of the patient is assessed and treatment of respiratory diseases Indiais suggested to ensure that the stress level in the person’s life is reduced and there is more harmony between his mind and rest of the body.
