IntroductionIncidences of bronchial asthma are mounting. There are multiple risk factors that have been found to be associated with asthma, 1-5 and the role of metabolism in asthma is known to be complex. However, the correlation between metabolism and asthma treatment is less clearly described in the literature. A few studies have shown high basal metabolic rate (BMR), or metabolism, in asthmatic patients, while others have found that obesity and asthma are associated with each other. 6,7Seasonal variations in asthma and BMR have also been reported. Some studies have depicted a higher incidence of asthma during cold weather, 8-11 while others have suggested a higher incidence in summer and humid environment. 12,13 According to Ayurveda, the BMR/metabolism of each cell/systemic changes across different seasons; during winter, the BMR increases and the body preserves heat, 14-16 on the contrary, during summer, the BMR decreases and the body releases heat. 14,17,18 Various kitchen spices, such as cloves, 19,20 have been associated with an increase in BMR, while substances like rose petal jam have been found to be associated with decrease in BMR. 21, 22 To assess whether seasonal changes in asthma and metabolism are interrelated in this study, various substances that affect metabolism were administered. Therefore, the study was planned to see the effect of kitchen spices/rose petal jam on bronchial asthma treatment. AbstractBackground and objectives: The role of metabolism (basal metabolic rate (BMR)) in asthma remains dubious. Seasonal variations are reported in both BMR and asthma, with the former increasing in winter and decreasing in summer. Correlation between metabolism and asthma treatment is not obvious in the literature; therefore, it was planned to assess role of substances which alter metabolism in managing asthma.

Psychology and Ayurveda emphasises on the rules of conduct and its effects on social and behavioural aspects of life. It deals with preventive, curative and promotive aspects. The personality of an individual can be enhanced by his personal or social conduct. A self-review could help to judge one's conduct.Ayurveda has discussed conduct under "Sadvritta" (Code of good conduct). A good personal conduct provides good health and a control over individual senses and desires. Sadvritta can be classified as personal (regime of bathing, cleaning of eyes, nose, ears, teeth, oral cavity, nails etc), psychological (one should not feel exhilarated in success and depressed in failure or under continuous grief), social (not using unwashed clothes, dirty or uncomfortable clothes, clothes worn by others, not appropriate to the season, occasion or clothes made from unnatural fibre), emotional (should be self controlled, self virtuous, free from anxiety, fear, shy etc), religious (worship gods, Brahmanas etc, perform religious sacrifice) and occupational conduct (should not tell a lie nor take others possession nor should desire for other women or other's property, should not be inclined to enmity). Emotional disorders which are caused by Prajnaparada (derangement of intellect, restraint and memory), interrupt the social conduct of a person leading to psychosomatic disease. The wise man should control the impulses of emotions which otherwise causes the mental illness. Psycho Social Behaviour changes as Causative factors and Prodromal symptoms of upcoming diseases. By following proper code of conduct, daily regimen, seasonal regimen, Achara Rasayana (rejuvenating regimens) one can lead a healthy life.
