Brief Summary   COPD is a disease state characterised by progressive development of chronic airflow limitation caused by chronic inflammation of airways and lung parenchyma .It leads to gradual decline in the lung function and worsening of dyspnoea and health status .
 Ciggarette smoking and occupational smoke produces free radicals which in turn irritates mucus glands causing over secretions of mucus. This causes irritation of airways leading to inflammation which ultimately lead to obstruction in airflow due to narrowing of pathways. Thus the poor Thoraco-Abdominal respiration due to COPD needs a safe , cost effective , easy to administer, evidence based treatment which not only combat with the signs and symptoms of the disease but also uproot the basic pathology which has occured in due course of time without any adverse effects.
In modern sciences treatment of COPD includes Bronchodialators, Corticosteroids, Antibiotics and Oxygen Supplimentation.But in this trial comparative study of Shwasa Kuthar Rasa and Pippali Vardhman Rasayan has been selected(Ayurvedic Medicines).
If Pippali Vardhman Rasayan proves effective and safe in treatment of COPD it would enable us to formulate a new treatment regimen which would not  only be of shorter duration but also be economical and affordable to the economically deprived masses around the globe. It will also allay the fears of the side effects of treatment regimen followed in COPD.It may also prove helpful to great extent in the prevention of extensive drug resistance and multi drug resistance . It may also be used as cost effective, easily available and quite affordable alternative treatment for the patients suffering from COPD.
