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.
