Ayurvedic Perspective of Kasa (acute Bronchitis) in Children With Special Reference to Dhanyaka, Sita and Tandulodhaka - a Review

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Kasa is a commonly encountered respiratory disorder described in Ayurvedic classics and frequently observed in pediatric practice. Acute bronchitis, a common lower respiratory tract infection in children, presents primarily with cough and associated symptoms. Ayurveda explains Kasa as a disorder of Pranavaha Srotas involving mainly Vata and Kapha Dosha. Dhanyaka (Coriandrum sativum), Sita (Saccharum officinarum) and Tandulodaka are simple dietary and therapeutic measures described in Ayurveda with Tridoshanut, deepana, pachana and soothing properties. This review aims to analyze Kasa from an Ayurvedic perspective and correlate it with acute bronchitis in children, highlighting the therapeutic importance of Dhanyaka, Sita and Tandulodhaka.
