Introduction

Respiratory disease and lung disease are pathological conditions which affect the organs and tissues. Respiratory diseases range from mild to self-limiting such as in common cold and influenza and life-threatening diseases such as in Bacterial Pneumonia, tuberculosis and in severe acute respiratory syndromes. The physiological definition of respiration is the metabolic process which obtains energy by oxidizing various nutrients and releasing waste products. The exchange of gasses in the lungs occurs through ventilation and perfusion. This is the continuous process which goes throughout the organism in its lifetime. The normal breathing rate in adults is 15-18 times per minute. And during heavy exercise, the rate of breathing exceeds 25 minutes per minute. Lung disease is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States and the major leading cause of death in Infants.

Types Of Respiratory Disorders

There are two types of respiratory disorders which are Infectious and Chronic.

1. Pulmonary Infections – They are mostly bacterial and viral and are caused due to flu and due to weakened lungs and immune systems and are more vulnerable to various respiratory conditions.
2. Chronic Lung Diseases – They are classified into 2 classes (Obstructive and Restrictive). They are a group of diseases which affect the other structures of the lungs.
1. Obstructive Conditions – Involves the blockage of narrow airways such as in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma and in Bronchiectasis.
2. Restrictive Conditions – It reduces the volume of the air that the lungs can hold. It can be due to Pulmonary Fibrosis, Sarcoidosis and Lung Cancer.

Ayurvedic Aspect

The balance between inspiration (air in) and expiration (air out) is the main indicator for optimum health. Respiration is an important physiological process which is important for the existence of life. In ayurveda, it is due to Prana Vayu which is responsible for respiration in the human body. The places of Prana Vayu are as follows- Murdha (head), Nasik (nose), Kantha (trachea) and the thorax region. Pranavayu is the essential component of the Pranavaha Srotas, helpful in controlling and regulating sensory and motor activities. The head is the region where all the Pranas are situated controlling all the activities so it is the most superior part of the body.

Sites Of Prana Vayu

The head and Chest are the two main sites. Pranas of the living stay in the Umbilical region and are surrounded by various Siras. Prana Vayu is among the 5 types of Vayu which are mainly located in the mudra region and travel to the chest and throat.

Breathing Phenomena In The Following Steps

• Prana Vayu is located in the navel region which travels to the region of the heart.
• From there it travels to the throat region.
• From the throat, Prana Vayu collects the ambara piyusha.
• This Ambara Peeyusha makes Vayu enter into the body.
• After entering the body, it nourishes all the dhatus with the digestive fire located in the stomach region.

Functions Of Prana Vayu

1. Movement and carrying up the sensation
2. Carrying the movement of the body in the upward direction (function of Udana)
3. Maintains the proper and smooth activity of the intelligence, and other sense organs.
4. Works as a vital energy of the body which is responsible for various activities.
