Ayurveda - Traditional Indian Medicine
Bronchitis - Ayurvedic concept
Bronchitis is the inflammation of the air passages between the nose and the lungs. It may also include the trachea and the windpipe and also the larger air tubes of the lungs that bring in air from the trachea. The interior linings of the bronchial tubes swell thereby reducing their effective diameter. Due to this the amount of air passing through the trachea into the lungs is reduced and so does the amount of waste gas coming from the lungs. This triggers the production of thicker mucous which further blocks the air passages. Bronchitis can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is of short duration and is cured within two weeks while chronic bronchitis persists for much longer duration. When chronic bronchitis proceeds breathing may become more difficult and you may feel tightness in your chest. Due to breathing difficulties less oxygen is inhaled into your body. This may cause your lips and body to turn blue and cause overall tiredness. In the advanced stages you will get chest pains and your feet and ankles may become swollen. Many tend to lose weight and have trouble sleeping. The damaged lungs may force the heart to work harder leading to its failure.
Many causes have been suggested for bronchitis like influenza virus A and B, bacteria like the Mycoplasma pneumoniae, lung irritants like fumes, dusts, chemical solvents, smoking. When a cough brings up large quantities of yellow, green or discolored mucus for more than three months of a year, then a case of bronchitis can be suspected. The main symptoms accompanying an upper respiratory tract infection may include: sore throat, chest congestion, soreness or burning sensation in the chest, fullness of the sinus, wheezing, breathlessness, slight fever, frequent cold or flu and overall malaise.
According to ayurveda any disease is caused by the formation of a favorable environment for the disease causing organism. Due to a poor lifestyle and wrong eating habits the body is thrown out of balance and loses its immunity to diseases. Contrary to the modern medicinal treatments methods ayurveda focuses on maintaining a healthy and sound body and not just curing the disease. Ayurveda attacks the root cause of any disease. This branch of medicine identifies the metabolic type of the person (whether vata, pittha or kapha) and provides a holistic approach in treating the patient. Once that has been determined ayurveda utilizes many approaches like herbal medicines, dietary changes, yoga, oil massages and meditation in treating the disease.
According to ayurveda bronchitis develops due to many imbalances in the human body including poor nutrition, poor digestion, accumulation of toxins resulting in poor circulation, imbalance in the nervous system, disruption of the biological rhythm and lowered immunity. The first step is to remove the toxins from the respiratory system. This involves loosening the impurities embedded in the trachea and helping them to liquefy so as to allow smooth elimination. The next step is to open the channels of circulation so that the system gets maximum nourishment. Massage increases the circulation in the body and helps remove any impurities present in the tissues. Another important point is regarding nutrition. The food must be highly nutritious as well as easily digestible. Excess bananas, sugar, white flour, processed foods, milk and dairy products- all have mucus forming tendency. One should also avoid coffee, tea, soft drinks and alcohol as they tend to take away fluid from the body. Drinking water in sufficient quantity is a must for any bronchial patient. One should include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet.
Meditation removes Vata imbalance, which is the physiological basis for the stability of the nervous system. Yoga allows more oxygen to enter the lungs thereby increasing its vascularity. When all the above steps are followed perfectly slowly your body will regain its self resistance and become cured of the disease.

Allergies - Ayurvedic management
According to Ayurveda an ancient healing system, one develops allergies when ojas (life force) is depleted & when the immune system is weakened. High quality ojas is primarily built from proper digestion of wholesome foods, and is depleted through stress, lack of rest, toxic foods, irregular eating habits and routines & turbulent emotions. Ayurvedic management of allergies includes :
a) Diet, Nutrition and Digestion - Allergies can be aggravated through improper diet. Foods that can be easily digested, creating nutrients that are then assimilated into the tissues to rebuild their strength is recommended. Prepare foods in ways that create maximum nourishment for the body.
b) Stress Management and Improved Emotional Function-Allergies are worsened by heightened stress and mental fatigue. Sleep disturbance that is often created by symptoms of allergies increases fatigue, which in turn increases one’s susceptibility to stress, which in turn aggravates the allergy condition. Meditation relieves the stress component of allergies.
c) Lifestyle and Daily Routine - Regularity in our daily routine is highly effective as one of the most important factors for balancing Vata and keeping the natural cleansing processes strong is to have a lifestyle that does not disturb natural bodily rhythms
d) Ayurvedic Herbs -Appropriate herbal formulas is advised for aiding the healing process, strengthening digestion and helping the body purify itself.
e) Herbalized Oil Massage - Daily oil massage creates heat and friction which enhance circulation and help cleanse the areas of chemical impurities that could be causing symptoms of allergies.
f) Cleansing therapies - Treatment program of massage, application of herbalized preparations and mild internal cleansing therapies like panchakarma is the cornerstone of ayurvedic treatment.
g) Exercise - Ayurveda considers proper stretching and flexibility exercises to have a very positive effect on the body’s healing response and the treatment of allergies. Yoga breathing practices that create a state of restful alertness in mind and body.
Thus, Ayurveda is an integrated approach to allergy as it eliminates toxin buildup, stabilize the nervous system, enliven the healing ability of the body and manage stress and thereby strikes the allergy at its root.
