Abstract

Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by abnormal dilation of the airway. This can be understood from Ayurvedic perspective through Dosa, Dhathu and Srotas. This review explores a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach to bronchiectasis focusing on pathogenesis and management. Initially involving Pitta predominance and later advancing to Vata Prakopa and Dhatu Kshaya. The management include correcting the Agni, Tikta Rasa, Raktaprasadana Madhura Rasa and Brimhana. The Ayurveda offers holistic approach, addressing both symptomatic management and underlying the pathological process.

Keywords: Bronchiectasis, Vata Prakopa, Dhatu Kshaya.
