Respiratory Disorders
Ayurvedic Approach to Respiratory Disorders
The respiratory system plays a crucial role in oxygenating the body and removing carbon dioxide. However, respiratory disorders can significantly impact breathing, energy levels, and overall well-being. Ayurveda classifies respiratory diseases under Shwasa Roga (breathing disorders) and Kasa Roga (cough-related disorders), emphasizing the balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas in maintaining healthy lung function.
At Kutoi Ayurveda Hospital, we take a holistic and integrative approach to treating respiratory disorders by focusing on root-cause healing, detoxification, and strengthening the immune system.

Types of Respiratory Disorders & Ayurvedic Insights
Asthma (Tamaka Shwasa) Modern View: Asthma is a chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing, wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness. Common triggers include allergens, pollutants, infections, and stress. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 Kapha Dosha imbalance leads to mucus accumulation and airway obstruction. 🔹 Vata Dosha aggravation causes breathlessness and wheezing. 🔹 Pitta Dosha may contribute to inflammation and irritation of airways.
Tuberculosis (Rajayakshma)
Modern View: Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that affects the lungs, causing persistent cough, fever, weight loss, and night sweats. It spreads through airborne droplets from an infected person. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 Rajayakshma is a chronic wasting disease (Kshaya Roga) caused by imbalanced Vata and Pitta Doshas, leading to weak immunity and tissue degeneration.
Rhinitis (Pratishyaya)
Modern View: Rhinitis refers to inflammation of the nasal passages, causing sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itching. It can be allergic or non-allergic. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 Kapha Dosha imbalance leads to excessive mucus production. 🔹 Vata Dosha aggravation can cause dryness and sneezing.
Sinusitis (Peenasa)
Modern View: Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, causing facial pain, headache, nasal congestion, and postnasal drip. It is commonly triggered by infections, allergies, or pollution. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 Kapha and Vata imbalance leads to mucus accumulation in the sinuses. 🔹 Shleshaka Kapha aggravation makes mucus thick and sticky, blocking nasal passages.
Bronchitis (Kasa Roga)
Modern View: Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, causing coughing, mucus production, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It can be acute or chronic, often triggered by infections, smoking, or pollutants. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 Vata Dosha imbalance leads to dry, spasmodic cough. 🔹 Kapha Dosha imbalance causes mucus buildup and congestion.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Modern View: COPD is a group of lung diseases (including emphysema and chronic bronchitis) that cause difficulty exhaling, breathlessness, and chronic cough. It is primarily caused by smoking or long-term exposure to air pollution. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 COPD is associated with Vata-Kapha imbalance, leading to progressive lung damage and airway obstruction.
Pneumonia
Modern View: Pneumonia is a lung infection caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi, leading to inflammation of air sacs, fever, cough with phlegm, and difficulty breathing. Ayurvedic View: 🔹 Pitta-Kapha imbalance causes inflammation and fluid accumulation in the lungs.
