The resultant aggravation leads to obstructive airway passages (*Pranavaha* *Srotas Avrodh*).

Such obstructions often lead to a wheezing sound with difficulty in breathing.*Ayurvedic* solution of bronchial asthma focuses to balance the vitiated bodily humors (*Doshas*) & clears the obstructed airways by removing excess of mucus (*Kapha*) to achieve normal inhalation and exhalation.
