Don’t ignore the pain

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lungs. In Asthma, the airways become swell and produce too much mucus. This makes breathing a little tough for an individual and triggers coughing, mostly when you inhale pollutants and dust. To understand Asthma, it is important to understand a little about your breathing process.

When you breathe, your air goes through your nose or mouth, down into your throat, and into airways. From there, it reaches your lungs. Each lung has many tiny air passages in your lungs that transmit oxygen from the air into the bloodstream. You have Asthma when the lining of the airways becomes swell resulting in stiffening of the muscles. This results in the cells producing more mucus that fills the airways, thereby reducing the amount of air that can pass through.

These conditions can trigger asthma attacks. Coughing and tightening in your chest are usually related to asthma.

Types of Asthma Diseases

The most common form of Asthma is bronchial Asthma, in which bronchi in the lungs are affected.

There is a classification of asthma on the basis of the onset of the signs- Childhood and Adult-onset Asthma. In adult-onset asthma, the signs are not apparent until the age of 20.

Other specific types of asthma include:

Allergic Asthma (Extrinsic Asthma)

This form of Asthma is seasonally triggered by allergens from pet dander, pollen, dust, mold food, etc.

Nonallergic Asthma (Intrinsic Asthma)

Nonallergic asthma is triggered by irritants in the air but not allergies. Some irritants causing asthma include- burning wood, cigarette smoke, cold air, perfumes, air pollution, viral illnesses, etc.

Occupational Asthma

Occupational asthma occurs due to irritants in the workplace. These include dyes, gas, and fumes, industrial chemicals, rubber latex, animal proteins, dust, to name a few.

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB)

This form of asthma is induced by physical workouts. As you start your exercise regime, you end up being tired, coughing, and this continues for up to 15-20 minutes of physical workout.

If you have asthma already, likely, you are also going to experience exercise-induced asthma EIA or EIB, but not necessarily everyone with EIB has other types of asthma.

Aspirin-Induced Asthma

AIA or aspirin-induced asthma is a severe form of Asthma. Mostly the cause is too much reliance on aspirin or another NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), such as ibuprofen (Advil). The signs may become visible in a couple of minutes or hours. Responsible for around 9% of cases of Asthma, AIA occurs in adults between the ages of 20 and 50.

Nocturnal Asthma

Nocturnal asthma means the symptoms usually begin at night. The most common triggers inducing nocturnal asthma include heartburn, dust, pet dander, etc. The body’s natural sleep pattern may also cause nocturnal asthma.

Cough-Variant Asthma (CVA)

Cough-variant asthma or CVA does not come with ostensible signs of wheezing and shortness of breath. CVA attacks are followed by breathlessness and wheezing sound. If it is not managed well, CVA can progress to severe asthma attacks that include the other common signs of asthma.

Symptoms of Asthma Diseases

Asthma symptoms may persist regularly or come and go with the season or asthma triggers. Asthma symptoms can include:

• • • Shortness of breath
    • Chest tightness
    • Difficulty sleeping due to coughing or wheezing
    • A whistling or wheezing sound when breathing

Causes of Asthma Diseases

No single reason has been recognized for the cause of asthma. The breathing condition is caused by a variety of factors. These factors include:

• • • Genetics: A parent with asthma increases the chances of the child getting it too.
    • Viral infections: Those prone to viral infections during childhood have more risk of getting asthma.
    • Hygiene hypothesis: Babies not exposed sufficiently to good bacteria have weaker immune systems and become more vulnerable to asthma in the later years.
    • Allergen exposure: Regular contact with allergens, irritants increases the chances of asthma.

Prevention of Asthma Diseases

While asthma cannot be cured, it can be managed effectively by:

• • Identifying and avoiding triggers
  • Using prescribed medications as directed
  • Monitoring lung function regularly
  • Getting vaccinated against flu and pneumonia
  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet

Ayurvedic Treatment For Asthma Disease

Ayurveda uses panchakarma to treat asthma by improving the overall health of a person’s respiratory system. While Ayurveda like other medications, cannot cure asthma forever, it can build immunity in the body, providing relief from symptoms.

When a person has asthma, he/she has a swollen or constricted respiratory tract that is often filled with mucus. This makes it hard for the person to breathe or even swallow at times. Few patients also experience tightness in the chest and also suffer from cough and shortness of breath. Such patients who experience the symptoms quite often can use ayurvedic therapies and medications to manage the same.

Panchakarma therapies can be used to clean the body of all the harmful toxins, bringing back the balance in the doshas. This not only increases the immunity in the body but also clears up obstructions present in the respiratory system.

The process of panchakarma includes special therapies, most of which are administered based on the patient’s dosha and after the therapies of Svedana and Snehana. 

• Svedana:- This is a process where the grahita Kapha is made to dissolve, softening the Kapha in the channels. This resorts the balance of Vata dosha.
• Snehana: – This is a procedure where a massage is provided using herbal oil, which is at times mixed with mild salt. The medicated oil is then massaged gently on the back and the best to loosen the grahita Kapha. In a patient who has asthma, the procedure helps to get rid of any mucus, removing any obstacles from the airways.
• Vaman:- Vaman, one of the five Panchakarma therapies, can be called as medicated emesis. During this procedure, the toxins from the body dislodge, freeing the respiratory system and the gastrointestinal tract.
• Virechana:- Virechana, a part of panchakarma, is a process that involves the purification of our body. This not only helps balance symptoms related to asthma but also helps in the healing of various mental and physical illnesses. This is one of the best ayurvedic therapies that can be used to treat illnesses caused due to imbalance of pitta dosha. The patients are given herbal medicines which eliminate the toxins from the anal route. This procedure is known to be very beneficial for patients suffering from asthma or other respiratory disorders.
• Nasya:- Nasya is the therapy that includes the installation of medicated oils via the nasal route. Some of the procedures also include inhaling of vapor or powder to treat disorders related to throat, ear, and nose. Nasya helps with the purification of the nasal passage, and this allows a person to breathe well and without any discomfort. Such treatment is recommended for patients who are suffering from migraine, asthma, headaches, and concession.
• Vasti:- Vasti is a panchakarma procedure that is used to treat disorders caused due to Vata disorder. The therapy eliminates the Vata dosha via the anal route. Vasti is often used as an alternative treatment to treat obesity, body heaviness and various neurological disorders as well.
