''Pranavaha srotas'' is a vital system of the body and although this ''srotas'' is more susceptible to abuse from little amount of smoke, allergens, adulterants, petrochemicals and  many pollutants in atmosphere, there are a variety of disorders and diseases that are temporary and harmless, while others can be life threatening. In literature, ''pranavaha srotas'' disorders are elaborated under the heading of ''shwasa, kasa, hikka, rajayakshma'' and ''urakshata'' (''kshata-kshina''). Cough, expectoration, breathlessness, sore throat, chest pain are common clinical features of respiratory diseases. ''Kasa'' is one such disease, which is identified by the hoarse phonetic sound, produced due to the pathological process of [[dosha]] dushti'' (vitiation of [[dosha]]), ''vimarga gamana'' (diverted movement) of ''pranavata'' and ''avarana'' (occlusions) of [[vayu]] by the [[kapha]].

''Hikka, shwasa'' and ''kasa'' (hiccup, dyspnea and cough) are the three main diseases of ''pranavaha srotas'' (respiratory system). There are clinical and treatment similarities between these three disease conditions that is why these diseases are being described together. ''Kasa'' is categorized in to five kinds as ''vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, kshataja'' and ''kshayaja''. The former three are curable with proper medication while the remaining two are ''yapya'' (palliable). ''Nidana parivarjana'' (avoidance of etiological factors), ''shodhana'' (purificatory therapy), ''shamana'' (palliative drugs), ''vyadhiahara rasayana'' (disease specific treatment) are the principles of treatment for all types of ''kasa''.

=== Introduction ===
 
 
 
''Pranavaha srotas'' is a vital system of the body and although this ''srotas'' is more susceptible to abuse from little amount of smoke, allergens, adulterants, petrochemicals and  many pollutants in atmospshere, there are a variety of disorders and diseases that are temporary and harmless, while others can be life threatening. In literature ''pranavaha srotas'' disorders are elaborated under the heading of ''shwaasa, kasa, hikka, rajayakshma'' and ''urakshata'' (''kshata-kshina''). Cough, expectoration, breathlessness, sore throat, chest pain are common clinical features of respiratory diseases. ''Kasa'' is one such disease, which is identified by the hoarse phonetic sound, produced due to the pathological process of ''doshadushti'' (vitiation of ''dosha''), ''vimarga gamana'' (diverted movement) of ''pranavata'' and ''avarana'' (occlusions) of ''vayu'' by the ''kapha''. The main pathology is in chest region with reduced functioning of the respiratory system.  
 
  
Smoke, dust, and over exertion (''dhumopaghata, raja, vyayama'') are largely considered as causative factors (''samanya nidana'').  These may cause direct damage to the harmony of the ''pranavaha srotas'' which occurs in all respiratory disorders. Apart from above said causative factors some in particular like ''guru'' (heavy), ''snigdha'' (unctuous), ''madhura'' (sweet), ''asatmya'' (unhabituated), ''paryushita ahara'' (rotten food) will cause vitiation of ''dosha'', more specifically ''vata'' and ''kapha'' which will in turn have its impact on ''pranavaha srotas'' to cause structural and functional impairments (''kha vaigunya''). Improper diet will result in the improper digestion and absorption of ''ahara rasa'' which will in turn produce ''kasa''. These can be considered as intrinsic factors for the pathogenesis.

Prodromal symptoms (''purvarupa'') are irritation of throat with pricking sensation, itching (''kantha kandu'') and inability to swallow (''bhojyanam avarodha''). These are very much similar with upper respiratory tract infection leading to condition of pharyngitis or pharyngotonsillitis and persistence of such upper respiratory tract infection will further spread to lower respiratory tract.

There are five types of ''kasa'' namely, ''vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, kshataja'' and ''kshayaja''. ''Vatika kasa'' is more related to upper respiratory tract with ''swarabheda'' (hoarseness of voice) as its diagnostic feature and is unproductive. It resembles more to allergic rhinobronchitis, which may be selflimiting and curable. ''Paittika'' and ''kaphaja kasa'' involve lower respiratory tract and are productive in nature. While ''paittika kasa'' seems to be the result of inflammation, ''kaphaja kasa'' is due to mucosal hypertrophy of bronchial lining or chronic bronchitis. ''Kshyaja kasa'' is a state of  chronic cough associated with emaciation. Charaka has mentioned that the disturbance in the action of ''jatharagni'' all the three ''doshas'' get vitiated, which causes emaciation of ''dhatus'' of the body either due to ''anulomana kshaya'' or ''pratiloma kshaya'' (Ch. Chi. 18/24). That makes it different from ''shosha'', which is a ''tridoshaja'' disease manifests as a group of several diseases. ''Kshataja kasa'' is associated with break in integrity of lung parenchyma with ''shonita darshana'' (blood tinged mucous) as a symptom. There may or may not be ''shosha'' (emaciation).

''Vata'' being obstructed in the lower region of the body, moves upwards, afflicts the channels of circulation in the upper part of the body, takes over the function of ''udana vayu'' and gets localized in the throat and chest. Then entering all the cavities in the head, fills them up and causes hunching and convulsive movements of the body, jaws, sides of the neck and eyes. Thereafter this obstructed ''vata'' causes contraction and stiffness of the eyes, back, chest and sides of the chest, gives rise to ''kasa'' which may be dry or with phlegm because of which it is known as ''kasa''.[6-8]

If there is pain in the shiras, nasa srava, arrhythmia of hridaya and pratishyaya in kasa then the phycian should administer dhuma. A wise physician should keep the ingredients of the recipe which cause elimination of doshas from the head inside two earthen plates with their brims sealed with mud-smeared cloth. In the upper plate there should be a hole to which a tube, ten or eight angulas in length, should be inserted in slightly curved form. The patient suffering from kasa should smoke the fume emanating from this tube through his mouth. After the smoke pervades the entire chest, it should be smoked out through the mouth. Because of the sharpness of the ingredients used in this recipe, the phlegm located in the chest gets detached and forcibly thrown out as a result of which kasa caused by vayu and kapha gets alleviated. (65-68)

If [[pitta]]ja kasa is associated with the aggravation of [[kapha]], then [[vamana]] karma is to be advised with ''ghrita'' or using the ''kashaya'' prepared out of ''madana, kashmari, madhuka''. [[Vamana]] can also be induced by using the ''klaka'' of ''madanaphal'' and ''madhuyashti'' along with ''vidari'' and ''ikshurasa''. Once after the elimination of aggravated ''doshas'' he should be treated with ''sheeta'' and ''madhura aharas''.
 +
 +
If in [[pitta]]ja kasa the phlegm is thin then [[virechana]] is to be advised using ''trivrita'' mixed with ''madhura dravyas'', followed by ''snigdha'' and ''sheeta ahara''. Whereas if the phlegm is thick then ''trivrita'' is to be mixed with ''tiktha dravyas'', followed by ''ruksha'' and ''sheeta dravyas''.
 +
 +
After proper ''shodhana'' therapy person should be treated with ''snigdha leha kalpanas''.
 +
 +
Following five formulations have been advised for [[pitta]]ja kasa along with ''ghrita'' and ''kshoudra'' and made into the form of ''leha'':
 +
#''Shringataka, padma beeja, sara'' of ''nili,'' and ''pippali''
 +
#''Pippali, musta, yashtimadhu, draksha, murva, mahoushadha''
 +
#''Laja, amritapahala, draksha, tavaksheeri, pippali, sita''
 +
#''Pippali, padmaka, draksha, brihati phalarasa''
 +
#''Kharjuara, pippali, vamshalochana, shwadamshtra''
 +
 +
If ''kasa'' is exclusively of ''pitta'', then the patient should be given the combination of ''sharkara, chanadana, draksha, madhu, dhatriphala'' and ''utpala''. If there is association of [[kapha]], then he should administer this along with ''musta'' and ''maricha.'' If however, it is associated with [[vata]], then it should be used with ''ghrita''.
 +
 +
Fifty fruits of ''mridvika,'' thirty fruits of ''pippali'' and one ''pala'' of sugar should be added with ''madhu'', and given to the patient suffering from ''pittaja kasa''.
 +
 +
Administration of ''madhu'' either with cows milk or urine is beneficial in [[pitta]]ja kasa. But during this therapy patient should drink only milk. The ''leha'' prepared out of ''twak, ela, shunthi, pippali, maricha, mridvika, pippalimula, pushkaramula, laja, musta, shati, rasna, dhatriphala'' and ''bibhitaka'' along with ''sharkara, madhu'' and ''ghrita'' cures ''kasa, shwasa, hikka, kshaya, hridroga. Pippali, amalaki, draksha, lakshai, laja'' and ''sitopala'' should be cooked by adding milk. When it becomes cool , one eighth part of  ''madhu'' should be added. This is indicated in ''kasa''. Intake of the liquid prepared out ''vidari, ikshu, mrinala, ksheera'' and ''sitopala'' mixed with ''madhu'' cures [[pitta]]ja kasa effectively. Intake of ''yusha'' prepared out of ''shyamaka, yavaka, kodrava, mudga'' along with sweet ''jangal mamsa rasa'' along with ''tiktha shaka'' is beneficial in ''pittaja kasa''. If the phlegm is thick then the patient should be administered with ''lehas'' prepared out of ''tiktha rasa dravyas'' along with ''madhu''. If the phlegm is thin, then the patient should be  given with ''shali'' and ''shashtika shali'' along with ''mamsa rasa''.
 +
 +
In this [[pitta]]ja kasa drink prepared out of ''sharkara, draksha, ikshurasa'' and milk are beneficial. All things which are ''madhura, sheeta'' and ''avidahi'' should be used.
 +
 +
Dishes like ''mamsa rasa, ksheera, yusha'' etc prepared out of ''kakoli, brihati, meda, mahameda, vasa'' and ''nagara'' are to be used in [[pitta]]ja kasa. Similarly milk boiled with ''sharadi panchamoola''(Trinapanchamoola), ''pippali, draksha'' along with ''madhu'' and ''sharkara'' should be taken in [[pitta]]ja kasa.
 +
 +
Milk boiled with ''sthira, sita, prashniparni, sharavani, brihati, kantakari, jivaka, rshabhaka, kakoli, tamalaki, rddhi'' and ''jivaka'' is useful in the treatment of ''kasa, jwara, daha, kshata'' and ''kshaya''.
 +
 +
The ''ghrita'' collected from the above mentioned should be added with milk, ''ikshu rasa'' and the paste of three ''karsas'' of each of the ''madhura dravya'' belonging to ''jivaneeya'' group, fruits of ''abhishuka'' etc and cooked. The ''ghrita'' should then be filtered out and made to cool. To this the powder of ''sharkara, pippali, tvak-kshiri, maricha , shringatak'' and ''madhu'' should be added. This paste should be added with wheat-flour and ''gud'' (''sarpi gud'') should be prepared out of it. Intake of this cures ''shukra'' and ''asrig dosha, shosha, kasa , kshataksheena'' etc.
 +
 +
Fine paste of ''sharkara, nagara, udeechya, kantakari, shati'' should be prepared and is to be filtered through a cloth. This liquid is to be used for the ''ghrita murchana''. This ''murchita ghrita'' cures [[pitta]]ja kasa.
 +
 +
''Ghrita'' should be cooked with ''mahisha, aja'' and cows milk, along with ''dhatri phala rasa'', all taken in equal quantity. Intake of this ''ghrita'' in appropriate quantity cures [[pitta]]ja kasa.
 +
 +
Thus ends the description of [[pitta]]ja kasa. [83-107]

+
 
The silk cloth should be soaked with jivaneeya gana dravyas or with egg yolk of kulinga. With this varti should be prepared and after dhumapana, the person should take the milk soaked with hot iron balls. This is beneficial in kshataja kasa.(138-148)
+

+
 
 +
If the patient of ''kshata'' is fatigued and weak, and if he has low power of digestion, then he should be given ''yavagu'' to eat.
 +
 
 +
If there is ''stambha'' and ''ayama'' then the patient should be given ghee in large quantity.
 +
 
 +
Thus all therapies which alleviate the [[vata]], simultaneously which do not aggravate [[pitta]] and [[rakta]] should be followed in such persons.
 +
 
 +
After ''khsataja kasa'' treatment, after complete relief, still person is complaining of pain at the place of injury due to aggravation of [[kapha]], should be given ''dhumapana chikitsa'' with following combination.
 +
 
 +

After ''dhumapana'' the person should drink ''ikshurasa'' and water mixed with jaggery.
 +
 
 +
''Manhashila'' should be made into a paste by tritrating it with the vatashrunga. To this ghee should be added. After ''dhuma'' the person should be given ''tittiri pakshi mamsa rasa''.

If ''kshayaja kasa'' is manifested with all the signs and symptoms, and if the patient is weak, then he should not be treated. However if the disease has recently occurred and if the patient is strong enough, then he may be treated even though the disease is incurable. In the beginning the person should be given [[brihmana]] therapy along with [[agni]] [[deepana]]. If [[dosha]] aggravation is more, then he can be given mild purgation therapy along with ''snigdha dravyas''.
 +
 +
Ghee cooked with the decoction of ''shamapaka''(fruit pulp of ''aragwadha''), ''trivrit, mridvika rasa, tilvaka kashaya'' and ''vidari swarasa'' should be given in appropriate dosage for the ''shodhana'' of ''ksheena'' person. It protects the body as well as gives strength for the ''uras''.
 +
 +
When [[pitta]] and [[kapha]] are reduced in quantity, along emaciation of [[dhatu]], then the person should take the ''ghrita'' prepared out of ''karkatashringi'', milk, ''bala'' and ''atibala''.
 +
 +
If there is association of ''mutra vaivarnyata'' or ''krichchchrata'', then he should be given the milk boiled with ''vidari, kadamba'' or with tender fruits of ''tala''.
 +
 +
If there is swelling and pain in the ''medhra, payu, shroni'' and ''vankshana'', then the person should be given the ''anuvasana'' prepared out of ''ghritamanda, madhu'' or with ''mishraka sneha''.
 +
 +
After ''anuvasana'' the person should be fed with ''mamsa rasa'' prepared out of ''jangala, prasaha, bileshaya,'' and ''vartakas''. Because of their ''ushnata, pramathi bhava'' these move properly in all ''srotas'' and cause dryness of [[kapha]] and simultaneously they nourish the ''srotas''.[149-157]

• Udaanvata plays key role in kasa. It is located in sinuses, throat and upper respiratory tract. Its main function is to exude out secretions from head and upper respiratoty tract, effortlessly.

Due to one group of etiological factors, sinuses and bronchial tree gets filled with secretions. Another group of factors like over exertion, weaken the functions of udaanvata by over consuming it.
+
== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==
Since udaanvata is not available, the physiological mechanism of kasa (cough reflex) starts to work causing forceful, frictionful expectoration with sound.

In order to prevent damage to delicate mucosa and avoid friction, treatment with good amount of ghee after meal is best.

===Contemporary views===
 +
 
 +
====Case reports====
 +
 
 +
=====Solanum xanthocarpum=====
 +
 
 +
The whole plant (panchanga) of Solanum xanthocarpum showed significant anti-tussive activity when compared to its roots. Administration of 10 gms of powder of drug for 10 days in 30 patients reported better action over [[kapha]] dominant kasa. The drug might be suppressing the central cough center by stimulating opioid receptors in the brain. It may be acting through protective ciliary activity in the respiratory tract. The action as demulcent can relieve cough.<ref name=mansukh>Mansukh S Parmar (2012): A  comparative pharmacognostical, physicochemical and pharmacological study of moola and panchanga of Kantakari (Solanum xanthocarpum Schrad. & Wendl.) w.s.r. to its kasahara karma, Department of Dravyaguna Vigyan, IPGT&RA, Jamnagar</ref>
 +
 
 +
=====Tribulus terrestris=====
 +
 
 +
An experimental study reported anti-tussive activity of root powder of Tribulus terrestris (laghu gokshura) in sulphur dioxide induced cough models. The number of cough episodes was significantly less in  Tribulus terrestris (laghu gokshura) root administered group. While root of Pedalium murex (brihat gokshura) showed insignificant decrease in number of cough episodes. In a clinical study, administration of powder of Tribulus terrestris (laghu gokshura) root and root of Pedalium murex (brihat gokshura), 3gm twice a day in 28 patients of kasa is observed. It reported better effect in group administered with Tribulus terrestris. The effect was better in reducing [[vata]]kasa. This study also suggested effect of drug on central nervous system and its anti-inflammatory activity.<ref name=chandrika>Chandrika N Methekar (2012): A  comparative pharmacognostical and phyto pharmacological assessment of moola, panchanga of laghu gokshura (Tribulus terrestris Linn.) and Brihat gokshura (Pedalium murex Linn.) w.s.r to its kasahara karma, Department of Dravyaguna Vigyan, IPGT&RA, Jamanagar</ref>

Abstract

Hikka, shwasa and kasa (hiccups, dyspnea and cough) are the three main diseases of pranavaha srotas (respiratory system). There are similarities in clinical presentation and management of these three. Therefore, these are described in sequence. Kasa is categorized in to five types based on its dominance of dosha and etiology. The vata dominant, pitta dominant and kapha dominant kasa are curable with proper medication. The other two types originating due to kshata (injury) and depletion of body constituents (kshaya) are palliable (yapya). Avoiding etiological factors (Nidana parivarjana), purification therapy (shodhana), pacification therapy (shamana), disease specific treatment (vyadhiahara rasayana) are principles of management for all types of kasa. Administration of shodhana therapy is important. The reduction in persistent nature of illness with episodic exacerbation and the severity is possible if all modalities are followed in sequence.

Keywords: kasa, cough, treatment of cough, respiratory diseases, kshataja, kshayaja, snehapana, vamana, virechana, vairechanika nasya (nasal catarrhal), dhumapana (medicated cigarettes).

Introduction

Pranavaha srotas is a vital system of the body and although this srotas is more susceptible to abuse from little amount of smoke, allergens, adulterants, petrochemicals and many pollutants in atmosphere, there are a variety of disorders and diseases that are temporary and harmless, while others can be life threatening. In literature, pranavaha srotas disorders are elaborated under the heading of shwasa, kasa, hikka, rajayakshma and urakshata (kshata-kshina). Cough, expectoration, breathlessness, sore throat, chest pain are common clinical features of respiratory diseases. Kasa is one such disease, which is identified by the hoarse phonetic sound, produced due to the pathological process of dosha dushti (vitiation of dosha), vimarga gamana (diverted movement) of pranavata and avarana (occlusions) of vayu by the kapha. The main pathology is in chest region with reduced functioning of the respiratory system.

Smoke, dust, and over exertion (dhumopaghata, raja, vyayama) are largely considered as causative factors (samanya nidana). These may cause direct damage to the harmony of the pranavaha srotas which occurs in all respiratory disorders. Apart from above said causative factors some in particular like guru (heavy), snigdha (unctuous), madhura (sweet), asatmya (unhabituated), paryushita ahara (rotten food) will cause vitiation of dosha, more specifically vata and kapha which will in turn have its impact on pranavaha srotas to cause structural and functional impairments (kha vaigunya). Improper diet will result in the improper digestion and absorption of ahara rasa which will in turn produce kasa. These can be considered as intrinsic factors for the pathogenesis.

Prodromal symptoms (purvarupa) are irritation of throat with pricking sensation, itching (kantha kandu)and inability to swallow (bhojyanam avarodha). These are very much similar with upper respiratory tract infection leading to condition of pharyngitis or pharyngotonsillitis and persistence of such upper respiratory tract infection will further spread to lower respiratory tract.

There are five types of kasa namely,vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, kshataja and kshayaja. Vatika kasa is more related to upper respiratory tract with swarabheda (hoarseness of voice) as its diagnostic feature and is unproductive. It resembles more to allergic rhinobronchitis, which may be self-limiting and curable. Paittika and kaphaja kasa involve lower respiratory tract and are productive in nature. While paittika kasa seems to be the result of inflammation, kaphaja kasa is due to mucosal hypertrophy of bronchial lining or chronic bronchitis. Kshyaja kasa is a state of chronic cough associated with emaciation. Charak has mentioned that the disturbance in the action of jatharagni all the three dosha get vitiated, which causes emaciation of dhatu of the body either due to anulomana kshaya or pratiloma kshaya [Cha.Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 18/24]. That makes it different from shosha, which is a tridoshaja disease manifests as a group of several diseases. Kshataja kasa is associated with break in integrity of lung parenchyma with shonita darshana (blood tinged mucous) as a symptom. There may or may not be shosha (emaciation).

Snehapana, vamana, virechana, vairechanika nasya (nasal catarrhal), dhumapana (medicated cigaretes) are indicated as treatment modalities in different types of kasa.

Atreya, endowed with power of penance, fame and perseverance and super-intellect expounded the infallible therapies for the treatment of kasa. There are five types of kasa. If exacerbated they may cause kshaya. These five types are vataja, pittaja, kaphaja, kshataja and kshayaja. [3-4]

Premonitory signs

Following are the premonitory signs and symptoms of kasa:

  1. Sensation as if throat and mouth are filled with shooka (thorns).
  2. Itching sensation in the throat.
  3. Inability to swallow food.[3-4]

Vata being obstructed in the lower region of the body, moves upwards, afflicts the channels of circulation in the upper part of the body, takes over the function of udana vayu and gets localized in the throat and chest. Then entering all the cavities in the head, fills them up and causes hunching and convulsive movements of the body, jaws, sides of the neck and eyes. Thereafter this obstructed vata causes contraction and stiffness of the eyes, back, chest and sides of the chest, gives rise to kasa which may be dry or with phlegm because of which it is known as kasa.[6-8]

Specific features of kasa

प्रतिघातविशेषेण तस्य वायोः सरंहसः | वेदनाशब्दवैशिष्ट्यं कासानामुपजायते ||९||

pratighAtavisheSheNa tasya vAyoH saraMhasaH| vedanAshabdavaishiShTyaM kAsAnAmupajAyate||9||

Specific variations in the pain and sound associated with different types of kasa are caused by the specific nature of the obstruction (by kapha, etc.) to the force fully moving vayu.[9]

Intake of vishamashana and asatmya ahara, indulgence in vyavaya, suppression of vega, ghrina and shoka etc factors leads to vitiation of agni thereby aggravation of tridosha giving rise to kshayaja kasa.

Signs and symptoms of kshayaja kasa are as follows:

  1. Expectoration of the kapha, which is greenish, red in colour, associated with pus and bad odor.
  2. While coughing person feels as if the heart is displaced.
  3. Feels suddenly afflicted with both hot and cold sensations.
  4. Consumption of food in excessive quantity
  5. Feeling of very weak, and emaciation
  6. Clean and unctuous complexion of face, associated with gracious appearance of face and eyes.
  7. Soft silky touch of hands and foot.
  8. Person always finds fault with others and develops immensely hateful disposition.
  9. Person suffers from diseases like jwara (having signs and symptoms of all dosha), nasal congestion, anorexia, painful flanks, altered voice.
  10. Feces hard or loose frequently without apparent cause stool.

This is called kshayaja kasa which leads to the death of the patient if he is already very weak. If the patient is strong, then the disease can be cured.

Kshataja kasa is palliable if the patient is strong. If these two diseases(kshataja and kshayaja) are in their initial stage and if all four chikitsa chatushpada are endowed with efficiency, then both of these are curable. All types of kasa are however palliable if the patient is old. [24-30]

Prognosis

The first three types of kasa (vataja, pittaja, kaphaja) should be treated as these are sadhya vyadhi. Whereas other two types (khataja and kshayaja) should be palliated with appropriate drugs and diet.

Treatment of different types of kasa has been described here after.[31]

If there is pain in the shiras, nasa srava, arrhythmia of hridaya and pratishyaya in kasa then the physician should administer dhuma. A wise physician should keep the ingredients of the recipe which cause elimination of dosha from the head inside two earthen plates with their brims sealed with mud-smeared cloth. In the upper plate there should be a hole to which a tube, ten or eight angulas in length, should be inserted in slightly curved form. The patient suffering from kasa should smoke the fume emanating from this tube through his mouth. After the smoke pervades the entire chest, it should be smoked out through the mouth. Because of the sharpness of the ingredients used in this recipe, the phlegm located in the chest gets detached and forcibly thrown out as a result of which kasa caused by vayu and kapha gets alleviated.

If pittaja kasa is associated with the aggravation of kapha, then vamana karma is to be advised with ghrita or using the kashaya prepared out of madana, kashmari, madhuka. Vamana can also be induced by using the klaka of madanaphal and madhuyashti along with vidari and ikshurasa. Once after the elimination of aggravated doshas he should be treated with sheeta and madhura aharas.

If in pittaja kasa the phlegm is thin then virechana is to be advised using trivrita mixed with madhura dravyas, followed by snigdha and sheeta ahara. Whereas if the phlegm is thick then trivrita is to be mixed with tiktha dravyas, followed by ruksha and sheeta dravyas.

After proper shodhana therapy person should be treated with snigdha leha kalpanas.

Following five formulations have been advised for pittaja kasa along with ghrita and kshoudra and made into the form of leha:

  1. Shringataka, padma beeja, sara of nili, and pippali
  2. Pippali, musta, yashtimadhu, draksha, murva, mahoushadha
  3. Laja, amritapahala, draksha, tavaksheeri, pippali, sita
  4. Pippali, padmaka, draksha, brihati phalarasa
  5. Kharjuara, pippali, vamshalochana, shwadamshtra

If kasa is exclusively of pitta, then the patient should be given the combination of sharkara, chanadana, draksha, madhu, dhatriphala and utpala. If there is association of kapha, then he should administer this along with musta and maricha. If however, it is associated with vata, then it should be used with ghrita.

Fifty fruits of mridvika, thirty fruits of pippali and one pala of sugar should be added with madhu, and given to the patient suffering from pittaja kasa.

Administration of madhu either with cows milk or urine is beneficial in pittaja kasa. But during this therapy patient should drink only milk. The leha prepared out of twak, ela, shunthi, pippali, maricha, mridvika, pippalimula, pushkaramula, laja, musta, shati, rasna, dhatriphala and bibhitaka along with sharkara, madhu and ghrita cures kasa, shwasa, hikka, kshaya, hridroga. Pippali, amalaki, draksha, lakshai, laja and sitopala should be cooked by adding milk. When it becomes cool , one eighth part of madhu should be added. This is indicated in kasa. Intake of the liquid prepared out vidari, ikshu, mrinala, ksheera and sitopala mixed with madhu cures pittaja kasa effectively. Intake of yusha prepared out of shyamaka, yavaka, kodrava, mudga along with sweet jangal mamsa rasa along with tiktha shaka is beneficial in pittaja kasa. If the phlegm is thick then the patient should be administered with lehas prepared out of tiktha rasa dravyas along with madhu. If the phlegm is thin, then the patient should be given with shali and shashtika shali along with mamsa rasa.

In this pittaja kasa drink prepared out of sharkara, draksha, ikshurasa and milk are beneficial. All things which are madhura, sheeta and avidahi should be used.

Dishes like mamsa rasa, ksheera, yusha etc prepared out of kakoli, brihati, meda, mahameda, vasa and nagara are to be used in pittaja kasa. Similarly milk boiled with sharadi panchamoola(Trinapanchamoola), pippali, draksha along with madhu and sharkara should be taken in pittaja kasa.

Milk boiled with sthira, sita, prashniparni, sharavani, brihati, kantakari, jivaka, rshabhaka, kakoli, tamalaki, rddhi and jivaka is useful in the treatment of kasa, jwara, daha, kshata and kshaya.

The ghrita collected from the above mentioned should be added with milk, ikshu rasa and the paste of three karsas of each of the madhura dravya belonging to jivaneeya group, fruits of abhishuka etc and cooked. The ghrita should then be filtered out and made to cool. To this the powder of sharkara, pippali, tvak-kshiri, maricha , shringatak and madhu should be added. This paste should be added with wheat-flour and gud (sarpi gud) should be prepared out of it. Intake of this cures shukra and asrig dosha, shosha, kasa , kshataksheena etc.

Fine paste of sharkara, nagara, udeechya, kantakari, shati should be prepared and is to be filtered through a cloth. This liquid is to be used for the ghrita murchana. This murchita ghrita cures pittaja kasa.

Ghrita should be cooked with mahisha, aja and cows milk, along with dhatri phala rasa, all taken in equal quantity. Intake of this ghrita in appropriate quantity cures pittaja kasa.

Thus ends the description of pittaja kasa. [83-107]

The medicaments prescribed for the pittaja kasa are also useful for kshatajakasa. Generally milk, ghee and honey should be given to such patients. If two dosha are involved in the pathogenesis of this ailment then special therapies are required.

If this ailment is associated with vata and pitta and the person has pain all over the body then abhyanga should be given with ghee. If there is excessive vata aggravation, causing pain, then abhyanga should be given with taila prepared out of vatahara dravya.

The person suffering from kasa along with pain in hridaya and parshwa associated with burning sensation, hemoptysis and aggravation of vata should take jivaniya siddha ghrita.

If the person weak and habituated to take mamsa then the mamsarasa prepared out of lava is beneficial for him.

If he is suffering from trishna then he can take goats milk processed with trinapanchamoola.

If there is bleeding then he should take the ghee extracted out of this milk. Or this ghee can be administered in the form of nasya or as a drink.

If the patient of kshata is fatigued and weak, and if he has low power of digestion, then he should be given yavagu to eat.

If there is stambha and ayama then the patient should be given ghee in large quantity.

Thus all therapies which alleviate the vata, simultaneously which do not aggravate pitta and rakta should be followed in such persons.

After khsataja kasa treatment, after complete relief, still person is complaining of pain at the place of injury due to aggravation of kapha, should be given dhumapana chikitsa with following combination.

Meda, mahameda, madhuka, bala and mahabala should be made into paste and smeared over silk-cloth and varti is to be prepared. After the pana of this dhumavarti should be prepared by smearing a piece of silk cloth with the paste of manahshila, palasha, ajagandha, tavksheeri, and nagara. After dhumapana the person should drink ikshurasa and water mixed with jaggery.

Manhashila should be made into a paste by tritrating it with the vatashrunga. To this ghee should be added. After dhuma the person should be given tittiri pakshi mamsa rasa.

The silk cloth should be soaked with jivaniya gana dravyas or with egg yolk of kulinga. With this varti should be prepared and after dhumapana, the person should take the milk soaked with hot iron balls. This is beneficial in kshataja kasa.[138-148]

If kshayaja kasa is manifested with all the signs and symptoms, and if the patient is weak, then he should not be treated. However if the disease has recently occurred and if the patient is strong enough, then he may be treated even though the disease is incurable. In the beginning the person should be given brihmana therapy along with agni deepana. If dosha aggravation is more, then he can be given mild purgation therapy along with snigdha dravyas.

Ghee cooked with the decoction of shamapaka(fruit pulp of aragwadha), trivrit, mridvika rasa, tilvaka kashaya and vidari swarasa should be given in appropriate dosage for the shodhana of ksheena person. It protects the body as well as gives strength for the uras.

When pitta and kapha are reduced in quantity, along emaciation of dhatu, then the person should take the ghrita prepared out of karkatashringi, milk, bala and atibala.

If there is association of mutra vaivarnyata or krichchchrata, then he should be given the milk boiled with vidari, kadamba or with tender fruits of tala.

If there is swelling and pain in the medhra, payu, shroni and vankshana, then the person should be given the anuvasana prepared out of ghritamanda, madhu or with mishraka sneha.

After anuvasana the person should be fed with mamsa rasa prepared out of jangala, prasaha, bileshaya, and vartakas. Because of their ushnata, pramathi bhava these move properly in all srotas and cause dryness of kapha and simultaneously they nourish the srotas.[149-157]

Dipana, brihmana and srotoshodhana therapies should be followed alternatively in the patient suffering from kshyajakaasa. All such therapies which are balya are preferred in this condition.

Kshayajakasa is caused by sannipata. Therefore therapies which alleviate tridosha are to be administered for the treatment.

But still bala (strength) and abalata (weakness) of the disease is determined by the nature of aggravation of associated dosha. Keeping this in view, treatment should be administered.

The physician should know that among these five kasa, the succeeding ones are more serious than the preceding. Different formulations mentioned under Kasa Chikitsa adhyaya are as follows:

Bhojya, pana, sarpi, leha, panaka, ksheera, sarpiguda and dhuma.[187-190]

Thus ends the eighteenth chapter in Chikitsa Sthana dealing with treatment of kasa in the work of Agnivesha which was redacted by Charak and because of non-availability supplemented by Dridhabala.

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • Vata being obstructed in the lower region of the body, moves upwards, afflicts the channels of circulation in the upper part of the body, takes over the function of udana vayu and gets localized in the throat and chest, then enters and fills up all the cavities in the head.
  • Udanavata plays key role in kasa. It is located in sinuses, throat and upper respiratory tract. Its main function is to exude out secretions from head and upper respiratory tract, effortlessly.
  • Due to one group of etiological factors, sinuses and bronchial tree gets filled with secretions. Another group of factors like over exertion, weaken the functions of udanavata by over consuming it.
  • Since udanavata is not available, the physiological mechanism of kasa (cough reflex) starts to work causing forceful, frictionful expectoration with sound.
  • In order to prevent damage to delicate mucosa and avoid friction, treatment with good amount of ghee after meal is best.
  • In contrast to hikka and shwasa, pitta is not involved kasa except paittic kasa.

Contemporary views

Case reports

Solanum xanthocarpum

The whole plant (panchanga) of Solanum xanthocarpum showed significant anti-tussive activity when compared to its roots. Administration of 10 gms of powder of drug for 10 days in 30 patients reported better action over kapha dominant kasa. The drug might be suppressing the central cough center by stimulating opioid receptors in the brain. It may be acting through protective ciliary activity in the respiratory tract. The action as demulcent can relieve cough.[7]

Tribulus terrestris

An experimental study reported anti-tussive activity of root powder of Tribulus terrestris (laghu gokshura) in sulphur dioxide induced cough models. The number of cough episodes was significantly less in Tribulus terrestris (laghu gokshura) root administered group. While root of Pedalium murex (brihat gokshura) showed insignificant decrease in number of cough episodes. In a clinical study, administration of powder of Tribulus terrestris (laghu gokshura) root and root of Pedalium murex (brihat gokshura), 3gm twice a day in 28 patients of kasa is observed. It reported better effect in group administered with Tribulus terrestris. The effect was better in reducing vatakasa. This study also suggested effect of drug on central nervous system and its anti-inflammatory activity.[8]

Combination of terminalia chebula and rock salt

In a study conducted on 19 patients, Terminalia chebula (haritaki) with Rock salt (saindava lavana) was found effective in reducing the symptoms of kaphakasa. There was 92.3% relief in cough with sputum and itching in throat. The action of haritaki on vata and kaphadosha due to its hot potency is observed as reason behind efficacy.[9]

Kantakari-maricha leha

In a study, kantakari-marichaleha (ayurvedic formulation) was administered for 7 days in 30 children with symptoms of kaphakasa. It was found effective in reducing the signs and symptoms.[10]

Samasharkara powder formulation

In another study on 60 patients with kaphakasa, 10gms of Samasarkarachurna for 15 days is found effective in reducing the signs and symptoms.[11]

Bhrigarajasava as adjunct to anti tubercular treatment

In another study conducted on 60 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), administration of Bhrigarajasava along with the standard treatment was found effective in reducing the cough. The cough progressively diminished and became occasional and non-productive within 15 days of treatment.[12]

Vyaghri-haritaki avaleha in chronic bronchitis

A study on 66 patients with chronic bronchitis reported that Vyaghri-haritaki avaleha effectively reduced the productive cough, which is the cardinal feature of chronic bronchitis.[13]

In another study conducted on 25 patients of kasa, administration of vyaghri-haritaki avaleha for four weeks showed highly significant results signs and symptoms.[14]

Unctuous enema in pertussis

Administration of unctuous enema (snehabasti) in pertussis patients of pediatric age group ( n=2) was studied. It was found very effective in reducing dry cough. Sesame oil in a dose of 10 - 20ml is used in basti for 14 days along with antimicrobial therapy. Initially, the intensity of cough was reduced, followed by a reduction in the frequency of cough episodes. Unctuous enema acts directly over the colon to restore normal functions of vatadosha.[15]

Kasahara dashemani tablets

In 40 children with kasa, administration of Kasahara Dashemani vati for 60 days showed relief in all symptoms of kasa. Reduction in acute eosinophil count (AEC) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels are noted. The decrease in IgE levels indicates the drug’s action against allergy. It is found effective in vata and pitta predominant kasa.[16]
