Brief Summary   BACKGROUND: SWASAKASAM is due to the derangement of kapham humor.The increased kapham either with vatham or pitham affects nostrils, throat ,respiratory pathways and lungs. This causes more inflammation leading to disturbances in inspiration and expiration. According to YUGI VAITHIYA CHINTHAMANI 800,Kasam can be classified as 12 types and swasakasam is one among them. The important causes of the diseases are exposure to cold foods, water and climate, inhalation of smoke, allergic items, intake of non vegetarian, starving on hunger ,stealing foods, uttering false talks etc,.This is an open clinical trial that evaluates the effectiveness of KADUKAI VADAGAM in the management of SWASAKASAM(Bronchial Asthma)
