“Ammi visnaga (Khella) and its role in Bronchial Asthma: A Case Series”

Abstract

Background:  Bronchial asthma is a multifaceted illness that is often defined by persistent inflammation of the airways. It is characterized by a history of respiratory symptoms that change over time and in intensity, including wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, along with varying expiratory airflow limitations. Asthma is believed to affect 300 million people globally and is becoming a major global health concern affecting people of all ages. Homoeopathic literature states that Ammi visnaga mother tincture is effective in treating respiratory diseases and has an antispasmodic effect on the small bronchial muscles. In addition, it is safe for children with respiratory issues and prevents them from recurring again.

Objective: The study aimed to determine whether homoeopathic medicine Ammi visnaga mother tincture is beneficial in treating bronchial asthma.

Methods: Using FEV₁ values from spirometry, the three cases in this series were diagnosed with bronchial asthma, and Ammi visnaga mother tincture was used to treat them over a period of time. Following treatment, FEV₁ levels were analyzed to see if the patients had improved.

Result: There was a discernible improvement in both the FEV₁ levels and the clinical complaints.

Conclusion: These cases show that Ammi visnaga mother tincture is an effective treatment for bronchial asthma.
