Syeda Almas* and Radhika Ranjan Geethesh P.
ABSTRACT
Shwasa and Kasa are common yet significant respiratory disorders described extensively in Ayurvedic texts. These conditions are rooted in the imbalance of Dosha, primarily Vata and Kapha, leading to the obstruction of Pranavaha Srotas. Shwasa Kasa Chintamani Rasa, a potent Rasaushadhi, has been traditionally utilized for respiratory ailments. It comprises ingredients such as Shuddha Parada, Gandhaka, and Abhraka Bhasma, and exhibits Ushna, Tikshna, and Kapha-Vata Shamaka properties. It addresses Samprapti at multiple levels, including reducing Kapha obstruction, pacifying aggravated Vata, and enhancing the function of Prana Vaha Srotas. By mitigating Doshaimbalance and restoring normal Srotas function, this Rasaushadhi offers a holistic approach to managing Shwasa and Kasa. Its rapid action and minimal dosage requirement highlight its advantage over conventional treatments. This paper explores the therapeutic potential of Shwasa Kasa Chintamani Rasa in disrupting the Samprapti of Shwasa and Kasa.
