Ela (Elettaria cardamomum) and Shunti (Zingiber officinale) provide expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects, helping relieve throat irritation and enhance mucosal clearance. Pippali (Piper longum) acts as a bronchodilator and bioenhancer, improving respiratory efficiency and the absorption of other herbs.
Vasa (Adhatoda vasica), well-studied for its vasicine alkaloids, exhibits mucolytic and anti-tussive actions, beneficial in both productive and dry coughs. Kantakari (Solanum xanthocarpum) and Bruhati (Solanum indicum) contribute to reducing airway inflammation and easing breathing in chronic respiratory conditions like bronchitis and asthma. Musta (Cyperus rotundus) supports digestion and reduces systemic inflammation, which is essential for dosha balance in respiratory disorders.\
Elakanadi Kashayam works by clearing phlegm, reducing inflammation, and improving respiratory function, and should be taken under professional Ayurvedic guidance.
