ABSTRACT
Tamaka Shwasa is a major disease of Pranavaha srotas which may
disturb the daily activities of an affected individual. The chief doshas
involved in pathogenesis of this disease are Vata and Kapha.
Ayurvedic explanations under Tamaka Shwasa closely resembles
with Bronchial asthma. Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory
disease of airways which is characterized by hyper responsiveness of
the tracheobronchial tree to various stimuli. It is manifested
physiologically by wide spread narrowing of the air passages, which
can be eased spontaneously or as a result of therapy, and clinically by
paroxysms of dyspnoea, wheezing and cough. The etiological factors
of this disease hints on few epidemiological indicators that has to be
revisited in the present scenario. This observational study was
conducted in 27 patients to evaluate the epidemiology of Tamaka
Shwasa. Datas regarding age, sex, religion, habitat, marital status,
socioeconomic status, education, occupation, family history, dietary
habit, bowel habit, sleep, addiction, treatment history, chronicity,
Deha Prakriti, Manasa Prakriti, Sara, Samhanana, Pramana,
Satmya, Satva, Status of Agni, Abhyavaharana Shakti, Jarana Shakti
and Vyayama Shakti are thoroughly analysed in this study.
