Abstract

India is having rapid expansion, development and urbanization resulting into increased pollution levels leading to rise in respiratory illness. Bronchial asthma is one of the chronic respiratory diseases. Acharya Charaka has described five types of Shwasa Roga, Tamaka Shwasa is one of them. Charaka has elaborated etiopathogenesis, clinical features and treatment of Tamaka Shwasa. Shwasahara Mahakashaya is one of the unique composition of drugs explained by Acharya Charaka. It consists of ten Dravya’s, most of them tend to have Vata-Kaphaghna properties. Vitiated Vata- Kapha Dosha are responsible factors for pathogenesis of Tamaka Shwasa. The researches on pharmacological effect of this Dravya have shown Anti-inflammatory, Anti-histaminic, Anti-asthmatic properties.
