How Does Our COPD Treatment Benefit You?

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; abbreviated as COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstruction of airflow from the lungs. The symptoms of this condition include difficulty in breathing, cough, sputum production, fatigue and wheezing. It is caused due to long term exposure to toxic gases and cigarette smoke. A person is at greater risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and other respiratory tract condition; if he/she has COPD.
COPD is categorized under ‘Shwasa roga’ of the ayurveda text. When a person consumes oily, sour, salty food; is addicted to smoking and is exposed to polluted air, the channels of the respiratory tract become obstructed and mucus gets collected in those channels. This obstruction is caused due to accumulation of Kapha dosha and ama in the amashaya. This vitiated kapha dosha then moves in an upward direction and gets stuck in the respiratory tract. This then obstructs the pranavaha srotas and hampers the normal movements of prana vayu.
Thus, the treatment of COPD in ayurveda focuses on elimination of toxins from the body and balancing the vitiated doshas. This is done by Nidanaparivarjana, Shamana chikitsa and shodhana chikitsa. Other than this, ayurvedic herbs like adraka, ela, haridra, trikatu, pippali, ashwagandha, lasuna, rasona, etc. are also used that effectively work on the respiratory system. Rasayana chikitsa also plays a very important role in rejuvenation of damaged cells and tissues; and provides health benefits to an individual. This line of treatment helps in complete reversal of the condition in a natural way.

Stages of COPD

  1. Stage 1 – Mild - Patients with mild carpal tunnel syndrome experience pain, numbness, tingling and itching, which usually occurs at night which might go away by shaking out hands. This may result in hand stiffness in the morning.
  2. Stage 2 – Moderate – Patients with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome experience the symptoms not only at night, but also in day time. This happens when their hands are in the same position for a long time or while doing some repetitive movements. In this stage, the hands often feel weak and it’s common to drop the things that they hold.

Our Success Stories

COPD Treatment, Naturally

Root Cause Treatment

“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”

Wisdom of Ayurveda

“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”

More Than Just Medicines

"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalisation play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."
