Respiratory tract infections are taken very seriously by people, especially after 2019. Now, a sneeze or a cough from a person sitting nearby raises eyebrows, and people sitting next are quick to take their masks out. Respiratory tract infections are of two types: upper and lower. Upper respiratory tract infections are the ones that affect the upper part of the respiratory system, including the sinuses and throat. The typical symptoms of these infections are a runny nose, cough, and sore throat.
Ayurveda, the world’s oldest natural healing system, emphasizes that upper respiratory tract infections are a result of imbalances in doshas, and the holistic treatment is focused on managing the root cause and providing effective management. In this write-up, we will learn everything about the natural and alternative treatment of upper respiratory tract infections with the use of ayurvedic medications in fine detail.
What are the Types of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections?
The common upper respiratory tract infections include:-
- Common cold
- Laryngitis
- Sore throat or pharyngitis
- Sinusitis
- Epiglottitis
Types of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections – As Per Ayurveda
As per Ayurvedic medical science, upper respiratory tract infections can be classified into three types based on doshas imbalance:-
1. Vataja:- In this type, there is vitiation of Vata dosha, and it produces symptoms such as dry throat, hoarseness, dry cough, and occasional fever.
2. Pittaja:- There is an aggravation of Pitta dosha, and it produces symptoms such as sore throat, fever, yellow mucus, and increased body heat.
3. Kaphaja:- There is an imbalance in Kapha dosha, and it manifests symptoms such as heaviness in the head, nasal congestion, excessive mucus production, and a dull headache.

What are the Causes of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections?
The chances of getting an upper respiratory tract infection increase when you are invaded by a microbial agent such as bacteria or a virus. Touching an infected surface or shaking hands with the person who is ill. The harmful pathogen then transfers from your hand to your nose or mouth when you feel it and culminates in an infection.
Causes of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections – As Per Ayurveda
Ayurveda emphasizes that upper respiratory tract infections manifest due to one of the following reasons:
1. Dosha Imbalance:- If there is a disruption in the harmony between the three doshas, namely vata, pitta, and kapha, it makes the person more prone to getting respiratory tract infections.
2. Seasonal Changes:- There is a higher risk of getting upper respiratory tract infections during the transition between seasons, that is, from hot to cold or from cold to rainy, which can make the immune system weaker and can give rise to upper respiratory tract infections.
3. Poor Digestion:- If the digestive system is not working properly, then it gives rise to ama (toxin) production in the body, which compromises the immune system.
4. Exposure to Cold and Wind:- When you are exposed to extreme weather conditions, particularly cold winds, it can make you more susceptible to getting infections.
