Abstract

This comparative clinical study investigates the efficacy of Vasadi Kwath and Nitya Virechan Karma in managing Tamak Swasa, a condition analogous to bronchial asthma. Tamak Swasa, characterized by chronic respiratory distress and dyspnea, involves the vitiation of Vata and Kapha doshas. The study included 30 patients, divided into two groups: Group A received Vasadi Kwath, while Group B underwent Nitya Virechan Karma. Both treatments showed statistically significant improvements in symptoms. Group A exhibited a 41.3% overall improvement, and Group B demonstrated a 41.15% overall improvement. These results indicate that both Vasadi Kwath and Nitya Virechan Karma are effective in alleviating the symptoms of Tamak Swasa. Integrating these Ayurvedic therapies may provide a holistic approach to managing bronchial asthma, potentially reducing reliance on conventional pharmacological treatments and their associated side effects. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are recommended to confirm these findings and explore the long-term benefits of these Ayurvedic interventions.
