The features of Bronchial Asthma can be compared to Tamak shwasa  explaindes in Ayurveda.

Shwasa is a major clinical condition according to Ayurveda and it has classes and subclasses. There are five types of Shwasa roga, Maha svasa  Urdhava svasa  chinna shwasa Tamak shwasa  Kshudra  shwasa. Among these five first three are incurabe, Tamak shwasa is difficult to cure but is controllable(Yapya roga). Kshudra shwasa is curable.

ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF ASTHMA

It originates at the site of Pitta(in the stomach) with simultaneous aggravation of Kapha and vata.

Kledak kapha accumulates and moves to the lungs. Kapha has properties like cold, slimy, unctuous, heavy and vata is cold dry rough and mobile in nature. These two intermix in lungs and and mucous present in the lungs becomes sticky, thick and it adheres to the walls of bronchi and narrows the bronchial tubes which leads to episodes of breathlessness or Asthma attack.

Charak Samhita says ” If vata predominantly associated with Kapha obstructs the circulation channels and moves in all directions in the body then this obstructed vata causes Shwasa.

Ashtang Hridyam has similar concept as Charaka. It says “Vata is obstructed in its movement by kapha and it spreads in all directions, vitiates the Pranavaha srotas(Channels of respiration), Udakvaha srotas(channels of water), Annavaha srotas(Channels of food), located in our chest and causes Shwasa, arising from stomach”
