Ayurveda, the Indian system of medicine uses drugs from three main sources i.e. plant,animal and mineral. The Tamaka Shvasa is equated with the Bronchial Asthma due to similarity in etiology, pathology, symptoms and prognosis but different in the treatment. In the present study we planned to get effective and safe treatment for “ Tamaka Shvasa ” with the help of clinical principles of Ayurveda. In the present study, 40 patients having Tamaka Shvasa were selected from O.P.D. & I.P.D. of Jammu Institute of Ayurveda & Research College and Hospital, Jammu and C.H.C, R.S. Pura. These patients were divided into four groups and were subjected to the following thereuptic regimen namely Kalka Group, Virechana Group, Virechana Kalka Group and S.A.D. Group.
