Cough

[Guest guest]

HI,

 

My daughter 4 1/2 tends to fall sick with fever and then develops a

cold and cough, sometimes vice versa. Everytime she is left with a

cough which doesn't seem to go away. I have given her milk with

turmeric, even with black pepper, palam kalkandu. But they don't seem

to work. Boiled tulsi water helps for sometime, then it comes back.

 

She gets wheezing as well sometimes if she comes in contact with heavy

dust or cement.

 

Can you help me help her out. Should somethings be added to her diet to

make her stronger to these issues.

The root cause of thesr allergic type reactions is to be found in

vaccines given in childhood as well as reduced length of mothers milk

and switch to formula or semi-solids earlier. the vaccines corrupt

immune system in such a manner that it can not tolerate some kind of

dust, pollen etc. Tiny tots are given vaccines when their immune

systems are immature. As a result of corrupted immune system, low

fever, sneezing, cough, whizzing, cold, skin rashes, itching eczema,

etc are the symptoms which can be noted every two months or so.

Inadequate digestion of early solid foods is also one reason.

 

The treatment of such children needs to be divided in two parts. when

the attack comes, the immune system can be strengthened by giving

mixture of Mahalaxmivilas Ras, Suvarana Vasant Malti and Swaskas

chintamani ras in honey. These are strong medicines and may take only

under supervision of your Vaidya. The dosage should be decided by him.

The herbal tea of Tulsi and Mint can be added twice a day to the

protocol. This type of cough does not get controlled by other churnas

like Sitopaladi, talisadi etc. Only effective formulation is Kantakari

Avaleha. 1 tsp twice a day can be given for children 5-12 years old.

 

Digestion (Agni) is the main front which needs to be attacked.

Shankhvati, Manjista Kalpa, Abhayarishta, kanakasava, Somasava are

useful but choice should be left to Vaidya. Even taking Draksharishta 2

tsp with equal water will help digestion and reduce ama. It is ama

which acts as catalyst for cough. If nose is getting blocked, Anu taila

2 drops in each nostril at bedtime helps. Neem/karanj Tail on itching

eczema regions helps to sleep better.

 

For long range immune system strength, giving Brihat/Laghu Vasant Malti for 3

months along with Agni enhamcing herbs is suggested. Children with cardiac

insufficiency also suffer similarly. Hence it is essential that you visit

neighbourhood vaidya and let him make the choice of treatment. What is written

here is just indicative of possible options for vaidyas and patients. Older

vaidyas will make their own formulations to suit each specific child.

 

Avoiding sweets, refined sugar, white floor (Maida), curd, shreekhand, bakery

products, genetically modified wheat, processed food packets available in

attractive packings, ice cream, cakes, other bakery products will be a helpful

strategy. Green leafy vegetables or their soups with mild spices to take care of

mineral deficiencies will also help.

 

Many children in age group 3-8 years could get over these allergy

problems using variation of above protocol. they had come to ayurveda after

trying allopathic anti-biotics and immuno-suppresants for a long time.

 

Treating innocent children is a very pleasant experience for vaidya.
