Abstract
Kasa is the release of blocked Vayu with the production of an unusual sound, or Kutsit Shabda. This can be either productive (with secretion) or dry (without secretion). Bahula, Madhura, Snigdha, Swetha, Nishtiva, Gana Kapha, Aruchi, Gaurava, Shirashoola, Swarabheda, Peenasa, Kantha Kandu, Utklesha, and so on are Lakshana of Kaphaja Kasa. Bronchitis is frequently the greatest way to compare Kaphaja Kasa. The main causes of bronchitis are dust, indoor smoke, smoking, pollution, chemical vapours and irritants, and unfamiliar activities and environments. Ayurveda Chikitsa Siddhant states that Nidana Parivarjana and its formulations of Vata-Kapha Hara, Vatanulomana Agnideepana, Aama Pachana, and Srotoshodhaka, are the primary treatments for Kaphaja Kasa. It also has bronchodilatory, mast cell stabilizing, and antihistaminic properties with are antitussive, mucolytic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant. As a result, the formulation has the ability to liquefy Kapha, ease expectoration and relieve bronchial congestion, helps to regulate respiratory system.
