Asthma Reversal
Understanding Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to breathing difficulties, wheezing, and coughing. This condition can range from mild to severe and may be triggered by various factors such as allergens, environmental pollutants, stress, or even changes in weather. The prevalence of asthma has been steadily increasing worldwide, affecting both children and adults.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of Asthma
Asthma is typically diagnosed based on a combination of medical history, physical examination, and lung function tests. Common symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing and coughing
- Chest tightness or pain
- Difficulty in breathing, especially during physical activity or at night
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of asthma remains unknown, but several factors contribute to its development:
- Genetic Predisposition: A family history of asthma or other allergic conditions.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to allergens like pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander.
- Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and poor diet may increase the risk.
- Occupational Hazards: Exposure to irritants like chemicals, fumes, or dust in the workplace.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Asthma
In Ayurveda, asthma is known as "Tamaka Shwasa," and it is primarily associated with an imbalance of the Kapha and Vata doshas. The accumulation of mucus (Kapha) in the respiratory tract, combined with the erratic movement of air (Vata), leads to obstruction and difficulty in breathing. Poor digestion and the buildup of toxins (Ama) further aggravate the condition.
