Qurs Dama is a specialized classical Unani formulation manufactured by Dawakhana Hakim Ajmal Khan, specifically designed to treat chronic disorders of the respiratory system. The name "Dama" literally translates to Asthma, highlighting its primary clinical application as a potent bronchodilator and expectorant.
This formulation is a synergistic blend of five powerful botanical ingredients. By combining the airway-clearing properties of Bansa (Adhatoda Vasica) with the warming stimulant effect of Long Pepper and the soothing mucilage of Liquorice, Qurs Dama effectively relieves chest tightness and difficulty in breathing. It works by thinning thick, stubborn phlegm for easy expulsion and suppressing the irritating cough reflex associated with asthmatic conditions.
