sitopaladi Churna + Talisadi Churna for my son’s recurrent wheeze has resuced bronchodilator use over 3 months alongside his maintenance inhaler. the Kapha-reducing effect is real. tbh धन्यवाद

One caution worth highlighting: herbs like Kantakari and Chitraka need age limits to avoid gastric irritation or Pitta aggravation in young kids.

Chyawanprash dosage of five grams twice daily with warm milk aligns well with the immune support goal for recurrent respiratory issues.

@Amy the evidence for Ayurvedic herbs in childhood asthma is limited. presenting this as a protocol alongside pardiatric respiratory guidelines needs much stronger caveating.

In reply to Sandeep Joshi. Glad it was helpful. We have been doing something similar — Sitopaladi alongside the maintenance inhaler — and after about ten weeks the frequency of reliever use has definitely dropped. We track it in a notebook which our paediatrician actually appreciated. Have you noticed any seasonal pattern in how well it works?

The piece on dietary triggers in the Tamaka Shwasa protocol is what I found most useful — especially the warning about curd and cold foods in the evening for Kapha-dominant children. My son’s night attacks dropped significantly once we adjusted dinner. Does the article say anything about school environments and dust exposure?

@Anjali the Tamaka Shwasa classification of my daughter’s asthma (Kapha-Vata pattern, nocturnal worsening, responds poorly to dry cold) matched her pattern better than anything from her paediatrician.

It’s noteworthy that the mother, being a pharmacist, still explored adjunct options rather than rejecting conventional meds outright.
