Abstract:
Indian children are more prone for different respiratory illness of infective as well as
allergic origin due to various etiological factors like overcrowding, pollution, poverty etc.
Childhood bronchial asthma is one of the allergic respiratory conditions and tending to
high prevalence in the subcontinent children in past few years. Current synthetic drugs
used in contemporary science of medicine, are unable to act at all the stages and targets of
asthma and showing drug dependency with adverse effect too. In Ayurveda, this is
contemplated with Tamaka shwasa, and dealt with innumerous herbal & mineral
formulations with multiple routes of administration. Sauvarchaladi choorna &
Padmakadi nebulization are one of those both administered by respective routes with due
consideration of stages of shwasa roga. So, there is great need for advancing the field of
Ayurveda specially in modern pediatrics and thus this intended trail was done.
