Introduction: Shwasa is said as Shigrapranahara Roga. It occurs as the main disease and also a symptom in various diseases. Shwasakruchrata is a common symptom that occurs in Hrudroga. Acharya Charaka mentioned the unique classification of drugs based on their action. Shwasahara Dashemani is one among them. It is containing 10 herbal drugs which are specially indicated in Shwasa Roga. Hence to evaluate the efficacy of Shwasahara Dashemani in Lakshana Roopi Shwasa in L.V.F (Cardiac Asthma) has taken for the study. Aim and Objective: The objective is to assess the efficacy of Shwasahara Dashemani in L.V.F with dyspnea (Cardiac Asthma). Method: The present study is a controlled comparative, open-label, clinical trial with pre and post-test design. A total of 40 subjects of a diagnosed case of L.V.F with dyspnea (Cardiac Asthma) were selected by using a simple random sampling method. Control group subjects were intervened with standard treatment of L.V.F and intervention group subjects were intervened with standard treatment of L.V.F along with Shwasahara Dashemani Ghana Vati, for the duration of 30 days. Its efficacy was assessed before treatment (0th day) and after treatment (31st day) by using BDI (Baseline Dyspnea Index Scale). Results: The P-value of dyspnea of the control group is 1.000 and the P-value of dyspnea of the intervention group is 0.105. This shows that the results of both groups are statistically not significant. But as compared to the control group, the intervention group is clinically significant because after the intervention 35% of subjects had shown improvement in the intervention group. Conclusion: As compared to the control group, in the intervention group Shwasahara Dashemani Ghanavati is clinically significant in relieving cardiac asthma when used with standard treatment of L.V.F.
