Ayurveda says that these illnesses don't just affect the lungs. Ayurveda believes that your breathing system is connected to your digestion, immunity, and even your mental health. Breathing problems happen when your internal balance is off because of a bad diet, weak digestion (Agni), a buildup of toxins (Ama), or doshas that are out of balance, like Kapha and Vata. Ayurveda calls these problems Shwasa Roga and works to get rid of the root cause instead of just treating the symptoms.
The goal at Jiva Ayurveda is to give you long-lasting relief, not just short-term control. You can make your lungs strong again with the help of personalised herbal medicines, detox therapies like Vamana, changes to your diet, and breathing exercises like Pranayama. Ayurveda can help you heal from the inside and breathe freely again.
Types of Respiratory Diseases Treated at Jiva
Jiva Ayurveda treats a wide range of respiratory problems with natural, root-cause based methods. Our Ayurvedic doctors have years of experience and can help you breathe easier, feel stronger, and live better. They create personalised treatment plans for people who have regular coughs and colds or serious lung conditions like asthma or COPD.
We treat a lot of different respiratory diseases at Jiva Ayurveda. Here are the most common ones:
1. Asthma (Tamaka Shwasa)
Asthma is a long-term illness that makes your airways narrow and inflamed, making it hard to breathe. You might often feel like you can't breathe, especially when you're working out or when it's cold. People with asthma may also cough, wheeze, or feel tight in their chest.
Ayurveda says that asthma is caused by an imbalance in the Kapha and Vata doshas and by toxins in the lungs. Jiva's treatment is designed to fix these problems, get rid of excess mucus, and make your lungs stronger naturally.
2. Asthma in Children
A lot of kids today have trouble breathing from a young age, and pollution, weak immunity, or changes in the weather can make it worse. Asthma in children can make it hard for them to play, sleep, and go to school.
Ayurveda uses mild herbal medicines, dietary advice, and changes to your lifestyle to help your immune system (Ojas), strengthen your lungs, and stop asthma attacks from happening again and again.
3. Bronchitis
When the airways in your lungs get inflamed, you get bronchitis. This makes you cough a lot, have excessive mucus, feel tired, and sometimes even have a fever. If you don't treat it, it could turn into a serious condition.
To clear phlegm and lower lung inflammation, Jiva doctors use herbs like Vasaka, Pippali, and Liquorice. Vamana and other Panchakarma therapies help get rid of Kapha toxins that are stuck deep in the body.
4. Sinusitis
Blocked sinuses can make you feel pain in your forehead, eyes, and cheeks. You might also have a headache, a stuffy nose, or thick mucus.
Ayurveda says that Kapha buildup is what causes blocked sinuses. Herbal oils, Nasya therapy (which cleans the nose), steam inhalation, and changes to the diet can all help relieve pressure and open up the nasal passages.
5. Nasal Allergy (Rhinitis)
If your nose is sensitive to dust, pollen, or strong smells, you might have rhinitis. In some seasons, you might have a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, or an itchy nose.
Low immunity and high Kapha are what cause rhinitis. Jiva's treatment uses herbs like Tulsi, Turmeric, and Giloy to boost your body's natural defenses and calm your allergic reaction.
6. Skin Allergy with Respiratory Symptoms
Some allergies can cause problems with both your skin and your lungs. You might have rashes, itching, and trouble breathing, like wheezing or coughing.
These kinds of problems are caused by a mix of Pitta and Kapha imbalance and Ama. Ayurvedic detox (Shodhana) and herbs that strengthen the immune system, like Neem and Amla, can help with both skin and breathing problems.
7. Laryngitis
Laryngitis is when your voice box (larynx) gets inflamed, which can make you hoarse or lose your voice completely. Certain infections, using your voice too much, or exposure to irritants are some of the most common causes.
Herbs like Yashtimadhu and warm turmeric milk, can help lower inflammation and bring back your natural voice. Dietary advice also helps you get better.
8. COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are two types of lung disease that fall under the umbrella of COPD. It causes blocked airflow, shortness of breath, and an ongoing cough.
Using gentle detox, herbs, and changes to your lifestyle, Jiva Ayurveda works to improve lung function, clear mucus, and slow the disease's progress.
9. Influenza (Seasonal Flu)
Flu is a viral infection that spreads quickly and makes you feel tired, have a fever, body aches, and a sore throat. In some cases, it makes it hard to breathe.
Jiva's HACCP certified medicines help your body fight infections, lower fevers, and boost your immune system so you can get better faster and stay healthy.
10. Pleurisy
The lining of your lungs gets inflamed when you have pleurisy. This can cause sharp chest pain when you breathe and this could be due to infections like pneumonia.
To ease pain, fight infection, and help lung tissues heal, natural herbs that fight inflammation and help with internal cleansing are generally used.
11. Tuberculosis (TB)
Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that affects the lungs. It makes you cough for a long time, lose weight, sweat at night, and feel weak.
Ayurveda says that herbs like Vasaka and Giloy can help modern TB treatments by boosting the immune system and restoring back lung health. Jiva provides supportive care to help you get better faster.
12. Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that fills the air sacs with fluid. This makes it hard to breathe, causes excessive coughing and a fever.
Jiva's herbal support and mild treatments help with breathing, lower inflammation, and make the body stronger against future infections.
13. Pulmonary Oedema
This condition makes it hard to breathe because fluid builds up in the lungs. Pulmonary oedema is often connected to infections or problems with the heart.
Herbs and detox therapies are part of the treatment. They help keep the body's fluids in balance, improve circulation, and ease pressure on the lungs.
14. Pneumothorax
Pneumothorax is a medical condition in which air gets into the space between your lungs and chest wall, causing sudden chest pain and shortness of breath.
In these cases, Jiva provides expert care with herbs that boost the immune system and gentle therapies that help your lungs heal.
What Ayurveda Says About Respiratory Diseases
As per Ayurveda, your ability to breathe well depends on the smooth flow of Prana Vayu, i..e, the life force responsible for breathing. This Vayu flows through special channels called Pranavaha Srotas, which include your lungs, nose, and chest area. When these channels get blocked or disturbed, breathing problems begin to appear.
Ayurveda says that respiratory diseases usually start because of an imbalance in the doshas, which are mostly Kapha and Vata. Kapha leads to mucus build up, makes you feel heavy, and makes it hard to breathe. Vata makes you dry, makes it hard to breathe, and makes your breathing irregular.
- Poor Digestion (Agni) and Ama Formation: When your digestion isn't working well, it creates Ama (toxins). These sticky toxins get stuck in your lungs and block the natural pathways in your body, which affects their function.
- Blocked Srotas (Channels): When Kapha and Ama build up, they block the airways (Srotas), which makes it hard for air to move freely. You might feel tightness in your chest, wheezing, or heaviness in your head because of this.
- Affected Dhatus (Tissues): Toxins and dosha imbalance can damage deeper tissues over time, like Rasa (body fluids) and Prana (vital energy), which makes your lungs weak and lowers your immunity.
The Root-Cause Approach of Jiva
The goal at Jiva Ayurveda is not just to stop your cough or cold for a short time. We try to go deeper to:
- Find out exactly why you keep having breathing problems.
- Naturally balance your doshas.
- Use Panchakarma therapies like Vamana to get rid of Ama.
- Clear the channels and make your lungs stronger.
- Make changes to your diet and lifestyle to improve your digestion and immune system.
When you heal the root cause, your breathing gets stronger, your body feels lighter, and your mind stays calm. That's the Ayurvedic way to keep your lungs healthy for a long time.
Benefits of Ayurvedic Treatment for Respiratory Diseases
Ayurveda helps you heal from within. At Jiva Ayurveda, your respiratory problems are treated by understanding the root cause, not just by controlling the symptoms like cough or cold. Here are some key benefits of choosing Ayurvedic treatment:
1. Root-Cause Healing
Ayurveda is all about getting rid of the root cause of your breathing problems. The treatment works to fix the imbalance that is actually making you sick, whether it's bad digestion, weak lungs, or a buildup of toxins (Ama).
2. Safe for Long Term Use
Ayurvedic medicines are made from herbs that are safe and don't have any chemicals that could hurt you. That means you can use them for a long time without worrying about side effects. This is great if you have asthma or sinusitis, for example.
3. Better Immunity
Tulsi, Giloy, Vasaka, and Liquorice are some herbs that can help your immune system, lower mucus, and open up your airways. As your lungs get healthier, you'll get sick less often, heal faster, and have more energy.
4. Helps with Digestion and Metabolism
Ayurveda says that your breathing and digestion are linked. When your digestion (Agni) gets better, your body gets rid of toxins, your metabolism speeds up, and you feel lighter and more active overall.
5. Treatment That is Made Just for You
Everyone is different. That's why Jiva doesn't just give you a general prescription for your condition; we give you a treatment plan that is personalised to your body type, dosha imbalance, and symptoms.
