Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Tamaka Shwasa is a very broad term which includes many more diseases where dyspnoea is predominant symptom. But still we can correlate Bronchial Asthma to Tamaka Shwasa, because out of the remaining four, three are incurable and the fourth one is Kshudra Shwasa developed due excessive labor or taking excessive Ruksh Ahara and which is easily curable. In its early onset it is easily curable but in chronic cases it is difficult to treat. In Ayurveda the word Shwasa define its meaning as an independent disease as well as symptom and complication of other disease. There are the episodes of disease, so that the life of the patient is endangered. Acharya Charaka described that Tamak Shvasa is Yappya type of disease in which patient has to depend upon medicines for the relief. Different concept of treatment of Tamak Shvasa has been highlighted by Acharya Charak. Every Ayurvedic physician must have the detail knowledge of Tamak Shwasa to decide different aspect of Chikitsa as well as prognosis of the disease.
