Respiratory Problems

Energy from prana is necessary for life. The body receives necessary air through the respiratory system for vital and life-sustaining functions. Unfortunately, environmental and lifestyle factors have made respiratory issues quite prevalent.

According to Ayurveda, respiratory ailments are caused by a Vata and Kapha imbalance. The lungs, respiratory system, and heart are all under the control of Avlambaka Kapha, a subtype of Kapha dosha. This regulates the movement of Prana Vayu and Udana Vata. Respiratory issues like asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), bronchitis, pneumonia, and seasonal allergies are caused by an imbalance in these key doshas.
