Nowadays, a variety of heterogeneous reasons, including smoking, air pollution, environmental factors, and genetics, are contributing to the daily rise in airway disorders. Tamak Shwasa, or bronchial asthma, is one of the five varieties of shwasa, according to ayurvedic medical research. Tamak is a compound term that combines the words tamaka and shwasa. The term "tamaka" comes from the word "tamglanou," which is Panini for "sadness." The illness is known as Tamaka because the sufferer has a sense of darkness at night and their breathing becomes more difficult. According to Achayra Charaka, the root of bronchial asthma, or Tamak Shwasa, lies in Pitta Shana and is classified as kapha vataja vikar. Tamak Shwasa (bronchial asthma) is described as kapha Pradhan vata Vikara (prana evam udan vayu) in Sushruta Samhita, Madhav Nidana, and Yogaratnakara. Smoke (Dhuma), dust (raja), excessive exercise (ativyayama), living in a cold climate (Sheta Sthanivasa), a heavy diet (Guruda Bhojana), and cold food and beverages (Sheta Bhojana) are the causes. These elements aggravate vata, which aggravates kapha further, causing rasa dushti and delaying the action of pranavata. Tamak Shwasa (Bronchial Asthma) is typified by the sound "Ghurghurukam" and is characterized by breathing difficulties brought on by kapha restriction in the vata's route, vata vitiation, and the acquisition of Vayu's Pratiloma Gati. According to Ayurveda, Bronchial Asthma, or Tamak Shwasa, is Pitta sthana udbhav vyadhi. Therefore, the goal of pharmacological therapy is also based on the location of doshas so that vata and kapha may be automatically managed.
