Ayurvedic texts have described 'Kasa' as an independent Vyadhi and a symptom of various debilitating diseases with its separate types, signs, symptoms, pathogenesis, and treatment. If treatment of Kasa Vyadhi is not done in time it can give rise to critical conditions like Swasa, Shosa, Rajyakshama, Urakshata, Rakttapitta, Granthi, Arbuda of respiratory tract etc. So to avoid the above complications it is essential to prevent and manage Kasa Vyadhi. Kasa is of five types; Vataja, Pittaja, Kaphaja, Kshayaja and Kshataja. Among all, Kaphaja Kasa is prevalent in these days originated due to the exposure to active and passive smoking, air pollution, occupational hazards. Kaphaja Kasa is a disease described in Ayurvedic texts that shows close resemblance with chronic bronchitis on the basis of clinical manifestations. However, according to WHO chronic bronchitis and emphysema are now included within the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a major cause of health care burden worldwide and the only leading cause of death among respiratory diseases that is increasing in prevalence. So in this article, critical analysis was done on the Ayurvedic management of Kaphaja Kasa vis-à-vis chronic bronchitis.Keywords

The protective effects of fitness on several health related outcomes have clearly been shown among normal sighted students. However, currently there is a dearth of data pertaining to children with visual impairment regarding their fitness. The purpose of the study was to examine differences in minimum muscular fitness among students with visual impairment and normal vision. Two hundred thirty six students; visually impaired (n=125) and sighted (n =111); of South India matched on age, height, weight, and gender participated in this study. Participants were evaluated for minimum muscular fitness through Kraus-Weber test. Chi - square test was used to calculate the frequency and percentage of failure and success in both the groups. The results demonstrated that sighted students had significantly greater levels of muscle fitness than students with visual impairment. It appears that students with visual impairment are deficient in muscle strength as compared to sighted students. Inclusion of physical activities such as yoga in the regular curriculum of the school is suggested for the improvement of the failures status.Keywords

Muscle strength is an imperative component of physical fitness. Yoga has frequently been demonstrated to improve physical fitness in adolescents. This study aimed to assess the effect of 12 weeks yoga program on minimum muscular fitness of adolescents dwelling in an orphanage. This was a randomized wait-list controlled pre post study. Seventy two (40 yoga, 32 control) apparently healthy orphan adolescents of both genders with a range of age 11-16 years matched based on age, gender and orphan status were recruited. Minimum muscular fitness was assessed using the Kraus-Weber test at baseline and after 12 weeks of yoga intervention. SSPSS 18.0 was used for data analysis. The percentage of students passed in yoga group were 20 %, and 75 % in pre and post tests respectively whereas percentages in control group remained the same (40.6%) in both tests. McNemar test shows significant differences between pre and post (P<0.001) in yoga group while those in control group was not significant. The study suggests that yoga have considerable benefits to improve muscular fitness level in orphan children and may be recommended as an effective training activity option for them.Keywords

In Ayurveda, Kasa is explained as an independent Vyadhi and a symptom of various debilitating diseases with its separate types, signs, symptoms, pathogenesis, and treatment. It involves most of the presentations of respiratory tract diseases where aggravated Kapha obstructs the free flow of Prana Vayu in Pranavaha Srotas, Kantha and Uras (Sharma and Dash 4:158).
