Abstract

Difficulty or shortness in breathing is termed as "Shwasa". Shwasa Roga is a disorder of Pranavaha Strotas. Here Nidanarthakara Roga of Shwasa Roga as stated by Acharya Charak with a scientific approach have been explained. Shwasa Roga is characterized predominantly with difficulty in breathing which is termed as dyspnea. It is highly essential to recognize the underlying pathology and related Samprapti Ghatakas (components of pathogenesis) based on clinical signs and symptoms and causes of dyspnea. This understanding helps physician to choose most appropriate therapeutic approach. Here the aim is to explain Nidanarthakar Roga (etiological factors causing disease) of Shwasa Roga with modern perspective leading to dyspnea. Shwasa Roga is caused by vitiated Kapha and Vata mainly and is designated as "Pitta Sthana Samudbhawa Vyadhi" (i.e GIT origin).Therefore efforts have been made to explain Nidanarthakara Roga of Shwasa Roga described in Ayurvedic classical texts with applied and modern perspective.

Keywords: Shwasa Roga, Nidanarthakara Roga.
