Cough is a protective reflex that prevents the foreign materials, secretions from bronchi and bronchioles. It is triggered by an inflammation in respiratory tract and hyper sensitivity. The use of cough suppressants is not preferred in treatment as it gives symptomatic relief with various un-wanted effects. It is also observed that recurrence of all the symptoms is very common if patient stops taking medicines. To cure cough a combination or a drug must have mucolytic, expectorant, immune-stimulant, strengthening, digestive, carminative and styptic activities are much needed. Ayurveda is science of life, provides a complete cure by adapting a holistic approach. Acharya charaka introduced ten ayurvedic drugs and titled as kasahara dasemani used in the treatment of cough. Screening of these ten drugs by compiling information from ayurvedic texts is the main aim of this study. After evaluating these drugs, it has been found that they are potent mucolytic, expectorants, bronchodilators, in addition they prevent frequent attacks, by their immune-modulator effect. These drugs also correct the digestive fire too hence it is concluded that selection of the kasahara dasemani drugs is the best of choice in treatment of cough.
