ABSTRACT:

Asthma which is the most common chronic illness of the childhood is also the most frequent cause for visits to paediatricians. Among children and adolescents aged 5-17 years, asthma accounts for a loss of 10 million school days annually. Asthma affects an estimated 300 million individuals worldwide. The prevalence is 8-10 times higher in developed countries than in the developing countries.Its management includes bronchodilators, mast cell stablizers, leukotriene modifying agents, antihistaminics and corticosteroids (such us: Prednisone) apart from avoidance of allergens but these drugs are associated with many adverse effects like tremors, tachycardia, weight gain, growth suppression etc. In spite of all, these drugs are used but not capable of curing this notorious disease completely. According to Ayurveda the management of asthma should comprise of drugs possessing Ushna, Vatanulomak, Vata-kapha shamak, Amapachak, Sroto-shodhak, Kapha nissarak properties. So considering these facts, Shirish Twaka churna can play a great role in treating the disease.

Key words: Asthma, Vatanulomak, Shrish Twaka Churna, Amapachak.
