Abstract

Abstract: Ayurvedic literature refers to the expression "Srotomayam Hi Shariram" which means "the living body is a system of channels consisting of several channels built as an internal transport system to perform various tasks. Srotas are macro channels and pathways in the living body covering visible and invisible organs, molecules, atoms and subatomic layers. Pranavaha Srotas is one of these channels that mediate Pranavayu. In Ayurveda, respiratory diseases are due to binding of Pranavaha Srotas, causing cough, breathing problems and disturbance of the breathing rhythm. COPD is the second largest common lung disease in India after pulmonary tuberculosis. It is common in middle-aged patients and rarely in patients under 35 years of age. COPD is the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. It is characterized by progressive and persistent airflow limitation.
