Abstract

Shwasa is a chronic condition that developed as a result of Pranavaha sroto dushti, here the shwasa roga is developed due to two types of srodo dushti i.e. sangha (Due to kapha avarodha) and vimarga gamana (of the udana vata). Asthma is a condition that affects the quality of life of an individual. Especially this condition aggravates and worsens in the cold season. Depending on the sign and symptoms Shwasa roga can be compared with Asthma.
