Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Tamaka shwasa is a disease in which the patient experience severe symptoms of respiratory distress with extreme weakness, fatigue and mental glooming. Tamaka Shwasa can be correlated with the disease Bronchial Asthma on the basis of its features & etio-pathogenesis. Tamaka Shwasa is considered as Yapya (palliable) because this type of Shwasa roga is not only difficult to treat but also has a repetitive nature. Shodhana procedures and use of internal medication not only detoxifies the body but also provides nutrition & increases the elasticity of lung tissue also helps in developing natural immunity of the body thus decreasing episodic recurrence of the disease and providing long term relief to the patient. Here a sincere effort has been made using shodhana chikitsa and Agastya Haritiki as Rasayana. The current management of Tamaka Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma) by modern medicine is only providing short term symptomatic relief but does not provide any long term relief to the patient. Rasayana plays an important role in rejuvenation of body tissues and providing strength to patient. A case of Tamak swasa is treated with Shodhanachikitsai.e., Vamana karma and Virechana karma followed by Rasayana for 3 months and daily Pranayama. In this case it was observed patient got good relief in the cardinal features of Tamak shwasa.
