Abstract

WHO report says that incidences of Asthma are considerably increasing every year and patients are becoming more sensitive by increased hyper responsiveness of air passage. Use of Dhoompana (medicinal smoke) along with Sauvarchaladi Churna gives a best management in asthma care which is less harmful, cost effective and can be used for long time. Amadoshahara, Deepana- Paachana properties of „Sauvarchaladi Churna' are beneficial to remove Saama and Malabhoota Kapha from Srotasa & Dhoompana also enhances the properties of drug. So „Upashayatamaka (clinical)‟ study of „Sauvarchaladi Churna‟ and „Shwasarogahara Dhooma‟ may be useful, having a great role in improvement in Quality of Life by reducing the recurrent attacks of breathlessness and wheezing.
