Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs of the lungs, which may fill with fluid. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and ranges from mild to life-threatening.

The Ayurvedic View of Pneumonia
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda views acute respiratory infections with fever and congestion as an interplay of aggravated Kapha and Pitta blocking the respiratory channels.
Once the acute phase is medically managed, supportive care focuses on clearing residual congestion, rebuilding digestive strength, and restoring immunity through diet, herbs, and rest.
