Abstract : In Ayurveda food is considered as superior medicine and one among the vital supporting pillars of health [1]. A diet should provide physical and mental well-being, along with the dynamic equilibrium of various structural and functional units of the individual. Pranavaha srotas includes diseases of respiratory system ie, swasa, kasa, hikka, rajayakshma where aetiology prevention is the primary treatment. Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath caused due to excessive intake of kapha aggravating food and regimen the kapha along with vata gets into pitta sthana which is termed as swasa (Asthma). Vitiated vata dosha along with kapha dosha obstructs the pranavaha, udakavaha and annavaha srotasa (respiratory system, watery elements & digestive system) and produces different types of hikka vyadhi. Hikka canbe correlated in modern science with hiccup. The vitiated Prana vayu along with udana vayu which further gets aggravated in association with other doshas and expelled out forcefully with a coughing sound like the broken bronze vessel, called as Kasa. Rajayakshma is one among the Asta mahagadas (eight dreadful diseases) described by Acharya Charaka and is known as the "king of the disease", it can be correlated to pulmonary tuberculosis due to similarity in symptoms. Globally, respiratory diseases both communicable and noncommunicable, are among the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, economic and societal burden, and disability-adjusted life years. Respiratory diseases are abnormalities that affect the air passages, the bronchi, and the lungs. By understanding the parameters of pathya/wholesome and apathy/unwholesome relating to respiratory system one can easily prevent, cure and avoid recurrence of the disease pertaining to the same. Pathya can be understood as those practices which do not afflict the patha/srotas/channels of circulation and is relishing to manas (mind). On the contrary, Apathya is that which is Apriya (Not relished) to Manas, such a Dravya should not be consumed on daily basis.

Keywords : Pathya, Apthya, Pranavaha Srotas.
