CLINICAL EVALUATION OF SATYADI YOGA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ATOPIC BRONCHIAL ASTHMA (TAMAKA SVASA)

Background: Tamaka Svasa, a Kapha–Vata predominant disorder described in Ayurvedic literature, closely resembles bronchial asthma.[1] Despite advances in modern medicine, long-term management remains challenging due to recurrence and drug dependency.[2] Satyadi Yoga, a classical formulation containing Sati and Puṣkaramula, is traditionally indicated in Svasa Roga.[3] Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Śaṭyādi Yoga in the management of Atopic Bronchial Asthma (Tamaka Śvāsa). Methods: A single-group, open-label clinical study was conducted on 30 patients. Assessment was based on subjective symptoms and objective parameters such as PEFR, AEC, and Serum IgE. Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test. Results: Significant improvement was observed in dyspnoea, wheezing, and cough (p < 0.001). PEFR improved progressively, while AEC and Serum IgE showed marked reduction. Conclusion: Satyadi Yoga is effective in reducing symptoms and improving pulmonary function in Tamaka Svasa.
