Abstract
In the disease Kasa, there is a Pranavaha Srotas Dushti and as described in the Ayurvedic texts, Prana is related with life therefore any abnormality in its function leads to disturbance of all the body functions as Prana is Sarvagata. Prana flows along with Rakta throughout the body providing nutrition to all body tissues, so its significance in this disease is most important, though Kasa has remained only as a minor and neglected common problem in this era, it is related with one’s immunity. The prevalence rate of Kaphaj Kasa is comparable to that observed in areas of low community air pollution in India But in Ayurvedic texts a wide range of medicines and different methods of treatment are suggested. It not only provides a wide range of drugs but also provides the various preventive measures to be followed while curing the disease. In present study an attempt will be made to evaluate the efficacy of Ardrak Swarasa in Kaphaja Kasa.
