Respiratory allergies are characterized by the rapid onset of acute respiratory symptoms due to an exaggerated immune system response to allergens. Allergies can also manifest as hypersensitivity to specific triggers such as foods, environmental irritants, medications, specific weather conditions, and more. When exposed to these compounds, which act as antigens, the body responds by releasing histamine and other chemicals. Both allergic rhinitis and allergic Asthma fall under the category of respiratory allergies. The prevalence of allergic rhinitis and allergic Asthma is significant, leading to substantial direct and indirect costs. Allergic rhinitis, which includes symptoms like nasal congestion, watery nasal discharge, itchy nose, and sneezing, represents an immunological reaction of the nasal mucosa to airborne allergens. The manifestations of allergic rhinitis can be associated with conditions such as fatigue, headaches, cognitive decline, and sleep A B S T R A C T Background: Respiratory allergic disorders (RAD) are the most common allergy symptom seen in children. Respiratory allergies are primarily caused by hyper responsiveness of the respiratory mucosa, which results in histamine release and mast cell activation. In Ayurvedic words, this could be viewed as an abnormality of the body's immune system or Ojus induced by disrupted Vata, Kapha, and Pitta. The prevalence of respiratory allergies in school-aged children in India varies widely, ranging from 5-20%. Methods: This study was completed by gathering the knowledge from classical Ayurvedic literature, research articles, guidelines and PubMed and MedLine databases. Results and Discussion: Dashmoola Katutrayadi drug is mentioned in Sahastra Yogam under Swasa Kasahara Kashaya have Shwas-Kasahar , anti-inflammatory, anti-histaminic and anti-asthmatic effects individually and in combinations. Conclusion: Present review reveals that these drugs have potential to alleviate the severity and frequency of RAD and can be used for the management of the same. Key words: Dashmoola Katutrayadi Kashaya, Respiratory allergic disorders (RAD), Anti-histaminic, Antiasthamatic, Shwasa-Kasahar, Immunomodulator.

Modern medicine employs various medications like antibiotics, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, bronchodilators, mast cell stabilizers, decongestants, and corticosteroids to treat respiratory allergies. However, these medications often come with adverse side effects and do not provide long-lasting relief. According to Ayurveda , respiratory allergies result from immunological dysfunction due to the production of "Ama" and "Kapha Dosha," which are undigested intermediate products. Ayurveda offers potent remedies with immunomodulatory, antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, and mucolytic effects that can address respiratory allergies at multiple levels, offering immediate symptomatic relief to patients. Dashmoola Katutrayadi drug is mentioned in Sahastra Yogam under Swasa Kasahara Kashaya and in The Ayurvedic Formulary of India part 1. The phase 3 International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Children (ISAAC) [1] reported an overall prevalence of current wheeze of 7% in Indian children aged 6 – 7 years and aged 13 – 14 years, with a higher prevalence of up to 10 – 20% in some areas [2] There is an urgent need for a drug that improves the respiratory system while not disrupting the body's and mind's normal homeostasis and totally heals the condition. Keeping this in mind, herbal drugs are assessed for their capacity to treat respiratory allergies. Children can receive this Ayurveda treatment without risk, and they can also replace the current antiallergy drugs.

[23] Pharmacology The whole plant including its roots is employed for its carminative and expectorant properties. These attributes are beneficial in addressing conditions such as asthma, cough, chronic fever and flatulence [24] 9. Kantkari ( Solanum surattense ) Ayurvedic Pharmacological Properties Kantakari ( Solanum surattense ) possesses Tikta, Katu Rasa, Laghu, Ruksha, Sara Guna , Ushna Veerya, Katu Vipaka and Kaphavata Doshahara property along with Deepan (digestive stimulant ) , Pachan (digest Ama ) , Rechana (strong purgative) , Vednasthapan (analgesic) , Swashara (anti asthmatic) , Kanthya (demulcent) , Hikkanigrahana (anti hiccups) , Kashahara (anti tussive) Karma [25] Pharmacology The extract's glycoalkaloid and fatty acid components lead to the release of histamines from bronchial lung tissues when it is chopped. It is suggested that the vanishing of histamines from the lung tissue may underlie the drug's positive impact on bronchial asthma [26] Solanum xanthocarpum has shown significant improvements in pulmonary function among patients with varying degrees of asthma severity. It is suggested that the relief from bronchial asthma symptoms associated with Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad and Wendl may be attributed to its bronchodilatory effect, reduction in bronchial mucosal swelling, and decreased airway lumen secretions [27,28] Glycoalkaloid and fatty acid fraction of Solanum xanthocarpum extract can lead to histamine release from chopped lung tissue. The drug's effect on bronchial asthma may be due to histamine decrement in the bronchial tissues. Because of the inorganic nitrate content, the expectorant action occurs [29] 10.

Alcoholic extract of the entire plant shows a significant increase in humoral antibody type and delayed type hypersensitivity response indicating increased value of specific immune response [31] The ethanolic extract inhibited cyclo-oxygenase 2 (cox 2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos) expressions in lipo polysaccharide stimulated raw 264.7 cells. It also inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumour necrosis factor alpha and interleukin 4 in macrophage cell lines. Thus, the ethanolic extract inhibits inflammatory mediator’s expression and inflammatory cytokine expression which has a good effect on inflammatory conditions [32] 11. Shunthi ( Zingiber officinale ) Ayurvedic Pharmacological Properties Shunthi ( Zingiber officinale ) possesses Katu Rasa , Laghu Snigdha Guna , Ushana Veerya, Madhur Vipaka and Kaphavata Doshahara property along with Shothhara (anti-inflammatory) , Vedrnasthapak (analgesic) , Deepana (digestive stimulant) , Pachana (digest Ama ) , Anulomana (carminative) , Shoolaprashaman (analgesic) , Swashara ( anti asthmatic) , Triptighana (sense of satisfaction) Karma [33] Pharmacology Shunthi acts as an expectorant and possesses mild antiinflammatory characteristics. Ginger's healthenhancing attributes are attributed to its rich composition of volatile and nonvolatile substances, including Sesquiterpene and Monoterpenoid Hydrocarbons that impart ginger's unique aroma and flavor. Nonvolatile pungent compounds like Gingorols, Shogaols, Paradols and Zingerone are also present in ginger contributing to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Shunthi additionally shows a role in preventing the formation of intermediate products such as lactic acid, uric acid and ketones, which can be used in the treatment of infectious diseases. These properties extend beyond respiratory diseases and have potential benefits in various conditions like heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. Gingerol and related compounds within ginger exert their effects by inhibiting the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes through the inhibition of enzymes like 5 Lipoxygenase and prostaglandin synthetase. Moreover, they can also inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines like Il-1, TNF-A, and Il-8 [34,35] Zingiber officinalis Is Non-Steroidal Anti inflammatory Drug [36] Some free radicals generated during the oxidation process are required in biological systems for energy production. Ginger's anti-oxidative properties undoubtedly protect humans from a variety of chronic diseases. 6-Shagaol has the potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in ginger, which can be showed to the presence of alpha and beta unsaturated ketone moiety [37] 12. Maricha ( Piper nigrum ) Ayurvedic Pharmacological Properties Maricha ( Piper nigrum ) possesses Katu Rasa , Laghu Teekshana Guna , Ushana Veerya, Katu Vipaka and Kaphavata Doshahara property along with Lekhana (anti-obesity) , Vatanuloman (easy passage to Vata), Kapahanisaraka (Kapha alleviation) , Pachan (digest Ama ) , Deepana (digestive stimulant ) Karma [38] Pharmacology Maricha is a popular spice that has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. it also helps with cholesterol, blood sugar control, and brain and gut health [39] Piperine demonstrated the ability to inhibit free radicals and reactive oxygen species when tested in vitro, suggesting potential antioxidative properties. Additionally, researchers investigated piperine's antiinflammatory, analgesic and anti-arthritic characteristics. They assessed the anti-inflammatory effects on fibroblast-like synoviocytes obtained from rheumatoid arthritis patients stimulated with Interleukin 1 in vitro [40] 13. Pippali ( Piper longum ) Ayurvedic Pharmacological Properties Pippali (Piper longum) possesses Katu Rasa, Laghu Teekshana Snigdha Guna , Anushana Sheet Veerya, Madhur Vipaka and Vata Doshahara property along

Archit Kumar et al. Management of Respiratory Allergic Disorders in children ISSN: 2456-3110 REVIEW ARTICLE April 2024 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | April 2024 | Vol. 9 | Issue 4 172 with Deepana (digestive stimulant) , Triptighana (sense of satisfaction) , Vatanuloman (easy passage to Vata), Shoolaprashamana (analgesic) , Hikkanigrhana (anti hiccups) , Swashara ( anti asthmatic), Kasahara (anti tussive) Karma. [41] Pharmacology Cough, cold, Asthma , hoarseness, and hiccup relief are provided by powered long pepper and honey [42] Piper Nigrum contains argenine. The most abundant enzymes in piper nigrum are glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glutathione peroxidase. Testing conducted on mice using parameters like Haemagglutination Titre, Macrophage Migration Index and Phagocytic Index has revealed that Piper longum fruits exhibit both specific and nonspecific immunostimulatory effect [43] Piperine exhibited central stimulant effects in various animal models, in an experiment with anesthetized dogs; piperine effectively counteracted the respiratory depression caused by morphine or pentobarbitone. A comparative study conducted with Anda fruit extract in petroleum ether, piperine, and nalorphine for their effects against morphine-induced respiratory depression and analgesia revealed that both piperine and nalorphine reversed the respiratory depression [44] Piper longum's traditional Ayurvedic claims for antiasthmatic activity have been validated via research. A fruit extract in milk reduces passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats and protected Guinea pigs against antigen induced bronchospasm [45] Due to its ability to readily distribute and enhance permeability, piperine has demonstrated the potential to enhance the bioavailability of a wide range of structurally and therapeutically diverse drugs. A study conducted with 'Trikatu, ' an Ayurvedic compound that prominently features Piper longum as one of its primary components, examined its combination with other medications. According to the findings, Trikatu boosted the bioavailability of these drugs through mechanisms that included promoting rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, preventing initial liver metabolism following absorption, or a combination of both of these actions [46] 14. Vasa ( Adhatoda vasica ) Ayurvedic Pharmacological Properties Vasa ( Adhatoda vasica ) possesses Tikta, Kashaya Rasa , Laghu Ruksha Guna , Sheet Veerya, Katu Vipaka and Kaphapitta Doshahara property along with Shothhhara (anti-inflammatory) , Vednasthapan (analgesic) , Kanthya (demulcent) , Kasahara (anti tussive) , Swasahara ( anti asthmatic) , Shleshmahara (Kapha alleviation) Karma [47] Pharmacology The pyroquinazolone alkaloids vasicine & vasicinone are the main components of Adhatoda vasica . Vasicine at low concentrations caused the tracheal muscle to relax. Vasicine provided significant protection against histamine-induced bronchospasm at high concentrations. In vitro and in vivo bronchodilatory effects have been reported to be caused by vasicinone, the auto-oxidation product of vasicine [48] Deoxyvasicine retains a slight bronchodilator activity in addition to some uterotonic activity. Bronchodilation necessitates the presence of oxygen at the C 3 position, while uterotonic activity does not rely on oxygen in this position. Vasicinone, an oxidative product of vasicine with an additional C-9 position and a C=O functional group, is found to be inactive, suggesting a possible conflict between two oxygen-related functions. To induce bronchodilation, the N-N-O triangle is essential. Deoxyhomo 'C' vasicinone has been discovered to be 6 to 10 times more potent than of aminophylline, attributed to its larger ring C size. Vasicine exhibits slight hypotensive effects, noticeable bronchodilation, and robust respiratory stimulant activities, whereas vasicinone induces bronchoconstriction in vivo and relaxation of tracheal muscles in vitro. Vasicinone enhances the bronchodilator effects of vasicine by acting as a substrate for the enzyme responsible for vasicine breakdown, thus protecting it from metabolic degradation. Adhatolic acid, a component of the essential oil found in Vasaka leaves, promotes expectoration [49] Vasicine stearate proves to be more effective than vasicine hydrochloride as a bronchodilator. The

Bilva and Gambhari contributed more to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Dashamoola , they can be considered as a new antiinflammatory drug [52] Dashmoola also shows Tridoshagna, Amapachana properties [53] Trikatu (Shunthi , Maricha and Pippali) is having anti-viral, antioxidant, analgesic, antibacterial, thyroxin stimulation, CNS stimulant, adjuvant in absorption and assimilation of drugs. Hence it is concluded that due to the preventive and therapeutic approach and multifunction of Trikatu it is beneficial in many body metabolic functions [54] Trikatu has been reported to increase the bio-availability of drugs [55] Trikatu Churna possess higher rate of phytoconstituents and promising antibacterial activity. This spicy product triggers natural immune system to fight against various enteric bacterial infections [56] Trikatu being an herbal formulation can be the best solution for the bioavailability related issues with various Ayurvedic formulations [57] CONCLUSION Dashmoola Katutrayadi drugs have potential effect to reduce bronchial asthma severity and recurrent attacks. Maximum of its drugs have Katu Tikta Rasa , Laghu Guna , Ushna Veerya , Katu Vipaka and Vata- Kapha Shamak properties. These statistics shows their excellent effect as Shwasahar (Anti allergic), Kasahar (Anti allergic) and Shothahar (Anti-inflammatory). Various studies included in this review have antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, CNS stimulant, bronchodilator, expectorant, anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-histaminic, mast cell stabilizing and immunomodulator properties of drugs individually and in combinations. This study suggests that if any formulation made with the combination of these drugs may help in amolination of RAD in children.
