Understanding Ayurvedic Inhalers W.S.R. To Tamaka Swasa

This document discusses Ayurvedic approaches to treating Tamaka Shwasa, a type of bronchial asthma. It covers two types of Tamaka Shwasa, inhalers/nebulizers as described in Ayurvedic classics, essential oils and their use, and recent research on herbs and formulations. More research is needed to establish the efficacy, active principles, and impact on the natural history of various Ayurvedic preparations used for asthma. The review highlights the potential of Ayurvedic approaches but also notes a need for standardization and more experimental studies.

Introduction
Bronchial asthma is a common global health problem.
Individuals of all ages are affected.
Chronic airway disorder.
Severe and occasionally fatal.
Prevalence of asthama is increasing worldwide, especially in
children.
Mortality data from developed countries show that the rates
vary from 0.1 to 0.8 per 1 Lac persons aged 5 to 34.

Tamaka Swasa
Classified into two varieties:

Ø Tamaka swasa vatapradhan

Ø Tamaka swasa shlesma pradhana

The indicators of the former are highly painful


breathing with high frequency of noisy sounds,
little expectoration, difficulty in expectoration,
and insomnia.
4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 33
Inhalers / Nebulizers
Inhaled drugs are localized to the target organ,
which generally allows for a lower dose than is
necessary with systemic delivery.

Fewer and less severe adverse effects.

The 3 types of aerosol device (MDI,DPI, and


nebulizer) can be clinically equivalent.

4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 44
Inhalation : Drug may be administered as solid
particle (in nebulizers) either in a solution form
or in a vapour form.

4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 55
As Per Classic`s
Ø Nasal Route Administration:

Nasya

Ø Buccal Route Administration

Dhumapana (Smoke/Vapours)

4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 66
Qualities of drug
As per Charaka :

Bahuta, Yogata, Aneka Vidha Kalpana,


Sampanna.

As per Modern :

Easily Available, Abundantly Available, Cost


effective, Less Side Effect, Maximum
Therapeutic Efficiency
4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 77
Essential oils
Known as life blood of plant

Very potent

Soluble in ether , alcohol and water

Inhalation of steam containing essential oil is


often a very effective way to treat respiratory
complaints .

4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 88
Latest Researches
Role of Vit. B6, C
Magnesium is co factors in over 300
biochemical process in body
Vasa: Active Constituents Alkaloids,
Flavonoids, Essential Oils
Tylophora asthmatica : Leaves, Root Powder,
Root bark
Ginger root is widely known for its positive
impact
4/24/10 on inflammation.
UNDERSTANDING 99
Essential oils of Cypress sempervirens and
Origanum majorana were highly valued as
medicines by ancient civilizations.

Have antispasmodic activity in the RS and promote


clear airways within the lungs.

Essential oil (Melaleuca viridiflora) comes from


the leaves of a tree used in the respiratory system.

Resolves phlegm.
4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 1010
Concept of DPI
Powder drug formulations are either in a pure form, mixed with
an inactive excipient such as lactose.

Finely milled powder particles (< 5 µm) do not flow freely

Because of cohesive force and static charge.

To produce suitably small drug particles, the drug must then be


disaggregated by shear forces during an adequate inhalation.

It is for this reason that DPIs require a relatively high


inspiratory flow for drug delivery to the airways.

4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 1111


Significance Of Nasal Route

Quick absorption and fast action

Poisonous drugs can not be administered by this


route ,as it may reach brain.

4/24/10 UNDERSTANDING 1212


Further research
Establish Efficacy Of Various Ayurvedic
Preparations used in asthma by good quality
randomized controlled trials.

Determine the Active Principles in various


Ayurvedic medications.

Evaluate the impact of Ayurvedic medications


on the natural history.

Evaluate the role of


4/24/10 immuno modulator
UNDERSTANDING 1313
Conclusions
The review of literature highlights need for more
research in utility of Ayurvedic preparations
(Inhalers) in bronchial asthma.

Medications and the management are not well


standardized.

As a large number of experimental studies have


documented .

Potential
4/24/10
