Cough known as “Kasa” in ancient Ayurvedic science is the most common frequent problem of respiratory system caused by stimulation of sensory nerves in the mucosa of the pharynx, larynx, trachea and bronchi. Sensitization of the normal cough reflex is also observed following with viral infections, esophageal reflux, postnasal drip, cough variant asthma and in patients taking ACE inhibitors. The main biological factor involved in this is Vata (air). The Vata, getting obstructed in the lower channels, becomes lodged in the upper channels and taking on the function of the Udana Vata.
