In Ayurveda, respiratory disorders are described under Pranavaha Srotas Vikara, conditions caused by imbalances in Vata and Kapha, weakened Agni, and accumulation of Ama (toxins). Ayurvedic respiratory care focuses on improving lung capacity, clearing blocked channels, reducing inflammation, enhancing immunity, and restoring balance through herbal support, detox therapies, diet, and lifestyle practices.
