Abstract

Eosinophilic inflammation is one of the hallmarks of allergic disease, and accumulation of eosinophils in affected tissues is a feature of diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma etc. Pulmonary Eosinophilia (PE) is pulmonary infiltration with increased eosinophilic count in peripheral blood. Environmental pollutants are shown to have alarming consequences for human health and they have important effects related to environmental pollution and the origin of hypersensitivity and pollen allergy. Vataja Kasa (~cough caused by Vata dosha) which is stated to be caused due to Dhumopaghata (~affected by Smoke), Rajah sevana (~inhalation of dust, pollen) can be understood as Pulmonary eosinophilia to diagnose and manage the disease effectively in a clinical setup. Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia (TPE) occurs predominantly in males with male: female ratio of 4:1, it is seen more between the age group of 15-40 years and is considered to be endemic in India. Attempts to co-relate Vataja Kasa (type of Cough due to Vata humor) to Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia have been done by many researchers. Usage of Vidangadi Choorna in Vataja Kasa has been highlighted in the classics of Ayurveda, which has not been evaluated yet. In this paper we will discuss.
