Management of bronchial asthma by Shringyadi churna and Vasadi kwath

Abstract

Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells plays a role in particular mast cells, eosinophils and T-lymphocytes. It is characterized by the responsiveness of the tracheobronchial tree to a multiplicity of stimuli. It is manifested physiologically by a widespread narrowing of the air passages. In susceptible individuals, this inflammation causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness and cough particularly at night or in the early morning. These symptoms are usually associated with wide spread but variable air flow limitation that is at least partly reversible either spontaneously or with treatment. This patient was treated with Shringyadi churna and Vasadi Kwath. There was an improvement in subjective and objective criteria after treatment. There was a reduction in swasakricchta, Muhurmuhurswasa vega, Asinolabhatesoukhyam, Kaphanishtivan and peenasa. The symptom Kasa and Ura-parshva shoola were abolished. There was no side effect observed during the treatment as well as after the completion of treatment.
