Abstract
Objective: Tamaka Shwasa is a Vatakaphaja Vyadhi originating from Pitta Sthana and manifesting through Pranavaha Srotas. Vata gets obstructed by Kapha and travels in Pratiloma Gati, thus causing the disease entity called Tamaka Shwasa. Tamaka Shwasa in Ayurvedic classics seems to be identical with the description of Bronchial Asthma in modern medicine. Bronchial Asthma is a major global health problem, which can affect the population irrespective of age, sex, economic status, etc. Method: References regard-ing Amritadi kwath are collected from Cakradatta, and further details regarding the constituent drugs are collected from textbooks, PubMed Central, published research papers and previous work done. Result: As per the data collected, Bronchial Asthma when treated with Amritadi kwath will be effective in relieving the symptoms in patients. Due to increasing prevalence, chronic, intermittent and inflammatory nature of the disease and also for better management of Tamaka Shwasa patients; it is a need of hour for innovative re-search regarding this topic. Conclusion: Amritadi kwath will be effective in improving pulmonary functions in Bronchial Asthma. Here we can conclude that Ayurvedic medicines will be a better choice in treating Bronchial Asthma in the near future.
