Abstract

Abstract Neonatal Respiratory Distress (NRD) is a major contributor to neonatal morbidity and mortality, particularly in preterm infants. In modern neonatology, NRD is primarily attributed to pulmonary immaturity, surfactant deficiency, and impaired gas exchange, leading to hypoxia and respiratory failure. Current management focuses on rapid stabilization through oxygen therapy, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), mechanical ventilation, and surfactant replacement. While these interventions have significantly improved survival, they mainly address acute physiological disturbances and may not fully support long-term functional recovery. Ayurveda offers a complementary framework by interpreting NRD as a disturbance of Vata and Kapha Doshas affecting the Pranavaha Srotas, the channels responsible for respiration. The concept of Pranapratyagamana, or restoration of vital life force, reflects principles similar to modern resuscitation. Ayurveda also emphasizes the importance of Beeja (genetic integrity), maternal health, and Garbhini Paricharya (antenatal care) in ensuring proper fetal development, including lung maturation. This integrative review highlights the potential synergy between modern and Ayurvedic approaches. Modern medicine provides life-saving interventions during the acute phase, while Ayurveda contributes preventive strategies and supportive care. Practices such as Abhyanga (gentle oil massage) and Rasayana therapies may enhance immunity, improve growth, and support neurodevelopment during recovery. The integration of these systems suggests a continuum of care that begins with prenatal health optimization and extends to postnatal rehabilitation. Such a model may reduce complications, improve resilience, and enhance long-term outcomes in neonates with respiratory distress. However, further scientific validation through clinical research is essential to establish safety, efficacy, and standardization. In conclusion, combining modern neonatology with Ayurvedic principles offers a holistic and promising approach to managing neonatal respiratory distress, focusing not only on survival but also on overall neonatal well-being and development.
