Interstitial Lung Diseases(ILD) are a group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders, most of which cause progressive scarring of lung tissue associated with substantial morbidity and mortality as the scarring in ILD eventually affects the ability to breathe and get enough oxygen into the blood- stream. Prolonged ILD may result in pulmonary fibrosis. As there is no definite treatment for the disease, it has remained a great problem for the patients. Several conventional treatment modalities are in existence but not much comprehensive. Though the permanent cure for the disease is not available but Ayurveda can provide cost-effective and conveniently the better treatment which relieves the symptoms to a good extent and improves the quality of life of the diseased.
