 ABSTRACT:

Tamaka Shvasa is one of the five types of Shvasaroga. Tamaka Shvasa is a “Swantartra”Vyadhihaving its own etiology, pathologenesis and management.The cardinal symptoms of Tamaka Shvasa includes Shvasa Krichhrata (dyspnoea)¹, Kasa(cough), Pinasa(rhinitis), Ghurghurukam, Parshvashula .According to Ayurveda Shvasarogais a Kapha Vata Pradhanadisease which originated from Pittasthana. Whenever there is obstruction of Pranavayuby Kapha Dosha, the vitiated Vayu gets Pratiloma Gati(reverse movement) to produce ShvasaRoga.Asthma is the chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway associated with increased hyper responsiveness, recurrent episode of wheezing shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing particularly at night and early morning. The global prevalence of asthma is more than 300 million individuals and about a tenth of those are living in India. Acharaya Caraka and Vagbhata have described Virechana Karma in the management of Shvasa Roga. In TamakaShvasa, Kapha obstructs the passage of Vayu, the obstructedVayu take the PratilomaGati. Virecana drugs having the quality of Vatanulomana, Usnaguna,Kaphavataghnapropertymay be more beneficial in the condition of Shvasa. Virecana removes mainly Kapha and Pitta Dosha and makes Vata in Anuloma Gati.Thus this conceptual study was undertaken to study the concepts of Tamaka Shvasa and role of Virechana Karmain Tamaka Shvasa.
