Addressing Asthma With Ayurveda

By: - August 6, 2020

Asthma makes it difficult for a person to breathe. It affects the daily life of a person negatively. A person suffering from asthma shows symptoms like:

  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Sweating
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Tightening in chest
  • Difficulty in the lungs

The severity of asthma attacks may differ from person to person. Exercise, allergens, irritants, and viral infections lead to frequent asthma attacks. Having parents or siblings with asthma is not a good sign for us. Our chances of becoming prone to asthma increases. Moreover, there are many other factors contributing to the cause of asthma, including:

 

Allergens:

Pollen from trees, grass, dust found in houses and feathers of animals.

 

Irritant: 

Cold air, changes in weather, air pollutants, cigarette smoke. Also, chemical fumes, paints, odor from cooking, and scented products.

 

Diet:

Intake of junk and fast food, less consumption of fruits and vegetables, having food containing sulfites, preservatives, and additives.

 

Others:

Other elements may include emotions like crying, laughing hard, fear, menstrual cycle in women, anger, and general stress.

Asthma treatment in Ayurveda helps in determining body imbalances. The patient should be willing to participate in the healing process. In addition, when a person undergoes asthma treatment in medication he or she can:

  • Make changes in lifestyle and diet
  • Remove emotional and mental stress
  • Increase immunity
  • Get disease resistant
  • Attain peaceful living

 

Ayurveda And Asthma

Asthma treatment in medication using Ayurveda primarily focuses on understanding the characteristics of each individual separately. However, each person has different issues and so they cannot be treated in the same way. Ayurveda theory says that if Prana (life force) cannot enter the body, the systems of the body will not be able to function. Thus, leading to major anxiety and stress.

Ayurvedic treatment in India provides a holistic view of health which focuses on all aspects of our being: the physical body, the mental and spiritual. Our body, mind, and spirit are interconnected. Therefore, a proper balance is required between them to ensure wholesome wellness.

Practicing Ayurvedic treatments, along with Yoga and meditation, improves strength, flexibility, and the capacity of the lungs. They are also called the three necessary components of fitness. Yoga includes Pranayama which ensures proper lung functioning. In addition, Pranayama also develops strong breathing ability by moving and strengthening the diaphragm. It increases lung air capacity, and improves flexibility of lung tissues.

Moreover, being surrounded by nature helps a person reduce stress in general. Further, it ensures that the person feels calm. Along with that, there are dietary changes that can help. However, there is no specific diet that can address the problem of Asthma. But, foods like Omega 3, ginger, garlic, honey, caffeine, might be helpful. Therefore, it is suggested to consume a good healthy diet. Also one should practice Yoga and meditation regularly.
