🫁 Introduction
Allergic Bronchitis is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes due to allergens like dust, pollution, smoke, or pollen. This leads to excessive mucus production, breathing difficulty, and persistent cough.
In today’s polluted environment and stressful lifestyle, respiratory allergies are increasing rapidly. While modern medicine provides temporary relief, Ayurveda focuses on root cause healing by balancing Doshas and strengthening lung function.
🧠 What is Allergic Bronchitis?
When allergens irritate the bronchial tubes, it causes swelling and mucus accumulation—leading to chronic cough, wheezing, and breathlessness.
It is often linked with conditions like:
-
Chronic Bronchitis
-
Asthma
-
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

🧬 Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurveda:
👉 Allergic Bronchitis is caused by Vata + Kapha imbalance
-
Vata → Causes dryness, irritation & breathing difficulty
-
Kapha → Causes mucus accumulation & heaviness
Triggers like Raja (dust) and Dhuma (smoke) further aggravate the condition.
