Hi lybrate-user. A cough is a sudden and often repetitively occurring reflex which helps to clear the large breathing passages from secretions, irritants, foreign particles and microbes. Ayurveda addresses cough as the kasa roga. Ayurvedic sciences primarily name the vata dosha as the prime cause of cough although kapha dosha and pitta dosha are also considered responsible. Ayurvedic treatment for cough can be bifurcated into two parts, the usage of herbs and abiding by dietary restrictions. Medication:- medication:- 1. Cof x-5 ml with warm water twice a day. 2. Sitopaladi churna-1/4tsp with honey daily 3-4 times a day. For 5 days. Ayurvedic treatment for cough and cold is also about dietary regulations. Some of the norms to be abided by would include: 1. Warm up the water before drinking as this would soothe the throat. 2. Avoid consuming anything cold directly from the fridge. 3. Do not consume veggies and fruits which have a cooling impact on the body. These would include papayas, oranges, watermelons, green bananas and cucumbers. 4. Preferably you should opt for consuming rice from an older crop if possible.
