Tamaka shwasa is a Pitta Sthana Samudbava Pranavaha srotovikara in which the aggravated Kapha and Vata doshas plays a major role in causing Sthanasamshraya in the Pranavaha srotas, where Udrita kapha gets accumulated and causes obstruction to the normal movement of Prana Vata, which ends up in Pratiloma Gati of Vata producing the Lakshanas of Shwasa. This pathology is similar with that explained in modern i.e., bronchial asthma, where the inflammation of the airway is produced by broncho-constriction. The peak incidence of bronchial asthma is seen in 5 to 10 years of age group. Its prevalence range is 4 to 32% for 6 to 7 years old children.
