        abstract = {Tamaka Swasa is a chronic respiratory disorder described in Ayurveda under Swasa Roga and can be correlated with Bronchial Asthma. It is predominantly a Vata-Kaphaja Vyadhi affecting Pranavaha Srotas and characterized by difficulty in breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and aggravation in lying posture. Modern management mainly depends on bronchodilators and corticosteroids, which often lead to recurrence and inhaler dependency. The present case study evaluates the effect of Ayurvedic management in a 33-year-old female patient suffering from Tamaka Swasa for two years. The patient presented with breathlessness, wheezing, nasal obstruction, throat itching, and inhaler dependency. Ayurvedic treatment principles including Nidana Parivarjana, Agni Deepana, Kapha Shamana, Vatanulomana, and Shamana Chikitsa were adopted. Internal medicines such as Desma Tablet, Iobine Tablet, Swasa Kutara Rasa, Kanakasava, Pushkaramoolasava, Haridrakhanda, and various Kashaya preparations were administered along with Pathya Ahara-Vihara. Regular follow-up was carried out for seven months. Significant symptomatic relief was observed with reduction in wheezing, breathing difficulty, nasal obstruction, and inhaler dependency. At the end of treatment, inhaler usage reduced from daily use to once in five days. The case demonstrates that Ayurvedic management along with strict Pathya Ahara-Vihara provides effective relief in Tamaka Swasa and improves quality of life.},
