How does Ayurveda address respiratory health?

Ayurveda takes a holistic approach to respiratory health by focusing on balancing the doshas and promoting overall wellness. It emphasizes the importance of a clean environment, proper nutrition, and specific respiratory exercises like pranayama to enhance lung function. Ayurvedic herbs such as tulsi (holy basil) and vasa are often used to support the respiratory system, helping to alleviate symptoms like cough and congestion. If you have chronic respiratory issues, it's essential to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized guidance while also coordinating care with your NHS healthcare provider.
