Abstract

Tamaka Shvasa is described as a most difficult to cure (Yapya) among all diseases in Ayurveda. In present study Tamaka Shvasa is correlated with Bronchial Asthma because of its symptomatology is much similar with Tamaka Shvasa. In modern medical science, steroids and bronchodilators are mainly used for its management, but they cause certain side effects. Present study was undertaken to provide safe and effective remedy for Tamaka Shvasa through Ayurvedic medicaments. Shirishadi tablet was given as internal medicine for 30 days. Upto 60% relief was found in signs and symptoms of Tamaka Shvasa.
