TAKE THE RESPIRATORY HEALTH QUIZ

There are many types of asthma, including excess mucus in the lungs (Kapha), inflammation causing constriction of the bronchial tubes (Pitta), and spasm of the bronchial tubes (Vata). In Vata type asthma, address adrenal exhaustion and employ anti-spasmodics such as cardamom, fennel, and other aromatic spices.

Kapha is generally a contributing factors in all respiratory conditions, including asthma. Congested circulation and thick blood cause mucus buildup stressing the lungs. The lungs are also sensitive to airborne allergies, such as dust, mold, and animal dander (wool, cats, etc.). Kapha type asthma responds well to mahanarayan and licorice root tea. However, to find the root cause of allergies you have to address the liver and Pitta dosha as well.

Lung and upper body skin inflammation are related. Inflammation in either area means that heat is moving 'up and out'.

Disclaimer: 'Asthma' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 4

ASTHMA IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE 4 - TISSUE DISEASE

If you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development.
