Abstract


The respiratory ailment that affects everyone at some point in their lives is a cough. The incidence of respiratory system-related incidents has significantly increased in recent years. The fifth most typical symptom for which a patient seeks medical attention is kasa. In the Ayurvedic classics, Kasa is considered as an independent disease. It may also occur as Lakshana (symptom) or Upadarava (complication) in other diseases. It is an example of Pranavaha Srotas Dushti. According to Acharya Charaka, the Moola of Pranavaha Srotas are Hridya (Brain, Heart) and Mahasrotas. Acharyas have described definition, etiological factors, prodromal symptoms, symptoms, types of Kasa along with all Pathya (wholesome) and Apathya (unwholesome) and therapeutic measures. Kasa is manifested with the vitiation of Vata and Kapha. Understanding and differentiating Kasa is important for its effective treatment. The study of Kasa is necessary as it can be associated with many complications if left untreated.
