The traditional Siddha medical system is a life science of well-being as well as a form of medicine. 
It is mostly grounded in philosophy. Thirumoolar, the father of therapeutic yogam, and Patanjali, a great 
Indian scholar renowned for his spiritual endeavors, are credited with popularizing the practice of yogam. In 
contemporary medicine, Eraippu Erumal may be associated with bronchial asthma. Cough, tightness in the 
chest, trouble breathing, and a distinctive melodic note on expiration are the major symptoms (Rhonchi). Due 
to changes in lifestyle and increased exposure to air pollution, Eraippu Erumal is now highly prevalent in 
society. Thirty patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated in Siddhar Yoga 
Maruthuvam's outpatient department. Group I patients received the trial medication Nilavagai chooranam for 
45 days. Yogasanam was taught to Group II patients in addition to an internal medication. There are 
substantial differences (p<0.01) for VC, IC, FEV, and FVCex between the two groups' mean lung volume 
values before and after treatment. There is a substantial (p<0.01) difference between the parameters Ig E and 
AEC before and after treatment. According to the clinical trial's findings, Yogam and the trial medication are 
both clinically beneficial for bronchial asthma. According to the current study, pulmonary functions may 
improve even more if the participants practice yogam on a regular basis for a longer period of time. One of 
the greatest asthma remedies is yogam.
