Ayurvedic Diet and Natural Home Remedies for Pneumonia

Posted on April 26, 2019April 26, 2019 By Dr. Vikram Chauhan No Comments on Ayurvedic Diet and Natural Home Remedies for Pneumonia

Among the several diseases that tend to rise during the monsoon season, pneumonia is one of them and is commonly seen among the children.

As per Ayurveda aspect:

It is correlated with “Shlaishmik Jwara” (श्लैष्मिक ज्वर)

Vata and Kapha dosha come into play during the investigation of respiratory immunity. The proper functioning of lungs is governed by udan vata (sub-dosha of vata), that governs the throat, speech, and lungs. The structure, on the other hand, is governed by shleshaka kapha (sub-dosha of kapha). In general, the lungs are supported by avlambak kapha, which governs the functions of the chest, lungs, heart, and lower back region. It also stabilizes and supports the connection between the prana and Udana vata which governs the chest and respiration. Prana Vata (sub-division of vata) is the governing force of Udana vata. Due to weak digestive system, ama starts accumulating and circulating through the lungs and in the later stage, it is mixed with shleshamaka kapha to form a sticky substance called shleshma. When there is an imbalance in the udna Vayu then it has a drying effect on shleshma, causing it to dry up and clog the lungs. When this shleshma plugs up the tiny channels of the lungs then the elasticity is impaired and circulation is also diminished. As a result, the immunity goes out of balance.

As per modern aspect:

Pneumonia is a respiratory condition which is characterized by the inflammation of the lungs. At times the bacteria, virus or fungi get hold of the body’s immune system and attack on it.  The infection is contagious and can be critical to the point of being life-threatening. In this condition, air sacs may fill with fluid or pus that causes cough with phlegm or there is a difficulty in breathing. Infants and young children are more prone to this disorder.

What are the causes of pneumonia?

The most common cause is the bacteria or virus in the air we breathe.

1.    Generally, the body prevents the infectious agents from infecting the lungs because of the healthy immune system but sometimes these agents can overpower the immune system even if you are healthy.

2.   The most common bacterial pneumonia is the Streptococcus pneumonia. Bacteria can affect sometimes one lobe (part) of the lung and this condition is called as lobar pneumonia. (कृमि)

3.    Fungi is also the most common cause and are the most common in people with chronic health problems or the person who has a weak immune system. Fungi can be found in soil or bird droppings.

4.    Some common viruses that cause flu and cold can cause pneumonia. These viral infections sometimes may infect the lungs and lead to Pneumonia.

What are the symptoms of pneumonia?

The symptoms may vary from mild or severe. These usually depend on factors such as the germs that cause infection. In newborn babies and infant, fast breathing with wheezing sound is the main symptom.

Other Symptoms Include:

•   Chest pain during breathing and coughing (वक्ष स्थल में वेदना)

•   Changes in mental awareness (मनोविभ्रंश)

•   Cough which may produce yellow, green or bloody sputum (कास के साथ रक्त, हरे या पीले कफ का निकलना)

•   Fatigue (थकावट)

•   Fever and sweating (ज्वर और पसीना आना)

•   Lower body temperature (शरीर का तापमान काम हो जाना)

•   Shortness of breath (श्वास कठिनता)

•   Nausea (हृल्लास)

•   Vomiting or maybe diarrhea (वमन या  पुरीष भेद)

•   Loss of appetite (भूख न लगना)

What are the natural home remedies for pneumonia?
