Asthma Hospital in Bangalore

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and coughing. In Ayurveda, asthma is known as “Tamaka Shwasa,” which is primarily caused by an imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas. The condition can be triggered by environmental factors, allergens, or lifestyle habits, and managing it requires a holistic approach to strengthen the respiratory system and prevent future attacks.

At Praanavaidya, we offer an integrative approach to asthma treatment that combines Ayurvedic therapies with modern medical interventions. Treatments focus on reducing inflammation, improving lung function, and boosting the body’s immune response to allergens.
