INTRODUCTION Childhood bronchial asthma has multifactorial causation. Geographical location, environmental, racial, as well as factors related to behaviors and lifestyles are associated with the disease. There is no cure for asthma as per the conventional medical science. Kashyap samhita is the first and foremost classic, which gave a priority to Balachikitsa . As it is a Kapha-vata predominant disorder, its incidence should be witnessed more either during the Balyaavastha , which is the normal time of Kapha dominance [1] Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath may be simply termed as Shawas (Asthma). It may be primary - originating from respiratory system, secondary - originating from other systems of the body, but the impact is on respiratory system. Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of airway. It leads to the recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, tightness of chest, and cough particularly at night or early morning [2] As per Ayurveda , Shwasa is mainly cause by Vata and Kapha doshas . Shawas Corresponding Author: Nandini Gupta, Assistant Professor, Department of Kaumarabhritya, PremRaghu Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital, Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, India. Email: nandini 2517@gmail.com is broadly classified into five types in Mahashawas (dyspnea major), Urdhawashawas (Expiratory dyspnea), Chinna shawas (Chyne stroke respiration), Kshudra shwasa (Dyspnea minor), and Tamaka shawas (Bronchial asthma). Tamak shawas is a Vatakaphaja vyadhi , originating from Pittasthan and manifested through Pranavaha srotas . Vata get obstructed by Kapha dosha and travels into Pratiloma gati (opposite direction) and in turn causes Shwasa (Dyspnea). Its clinical features resemble with bronchial asthma [3] Once among the 8 branches of Ayurveda , Kaumarabhritya specially deals with the problems related with infants and children. It is a unique practice of Ayurveda that Ayurvedic pediatrics deals from conception to 16 years of age. It deals with antenatal perinatal and postnatal care along with the different aspect of child health and disease. In Kashyap samhita , Sutrasthana chapter 25 th “ Vedana adhyaya ” it is mentioned that child suffering from Shwasa roga exhales warm air. The word Tamaka shwasa is found in Khil sthana 10 th chapter while mentioning its management [4] Shwasa is one of the most distressing diseased and is quite common in all the socioeconomic strata all the age groups and almost all over the world. This work has been done with the intension that its way to use natural medicines should justify for implementation as a whole therapy, or to set a systemic integrated approach [5] This approach can International Research Journal of Ayurveda & Yoga Vol. 6(8), pp. 15-22, August, 2023 Available online at http://irjay.com ISSN: 2581-785 X DOI: 10.47223/IRJAY.2023.6803 ABSTRACT Ayurveda is the major systems of indigenous medicines and treatment.
