While consultation with the patient, our doctor analyzed her Prakrithi( body constitution) Vikrithi (aggravated Dosha type that caused the illness) and the improper food and activities that the patient had followed .Our doctor identified that Kapha dosha was in aggravated state along with pitta dosha and accumulation toxins affecting body’s immunity . This caused chest congestion, difficulty in breathing and cough. She prescribed natural medicines in order to pacify these doshas and to regain the normalcy.

Treatment Doctor recommended Swasa sugam Syrup for her illness. She was also counselled to suitable diet and regimen to be followed. Counselling was given her to reduce the aggravating factors.
