Ayurvedic Treatment for Allergic Asthma: A Natural Approach to Breathing Ease
Allergic asthma is a type of asthma triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander, or smoke. It causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. Ayurveda provides a holistic approach to managing allergic asthma by addressing its root causes, balancing doshas, and enhancing lung health. At Ayur Khyati, we offer personalized Ayurvedic solutions to alleviate symptoms, reduce allergen sensitivity, and improve overall respiratory wellness.

In Ayurveda, allergic asthma is associated with imbalances in Kapha Dosha, which causes mucous overproduction, and Vata Dosha, which leads to airway constriction and breathing difficulties.
- Kapha Aggravation: Leads to mucous buildup, congestion, and respiratory obstruction.
- Vata Imbalance: Causes dryness and spasms in the respiratory tract.
- Toxin Accumulation (Ama): Weakens the immune system and increases sensitivity to allergens.
Ayurvedic treatments focus on detoxifying the body, balancing doshas, and reducing allergen-induced inflammation.
