Asthma
Asthma
Asthma or Bronchial Asthma is a chronic condition affecting the lungs wherein the recurring inflammation and narrowing of the airways (bronchi) result in the obstruction of airflow in response to the sensitivity to certain allergic or non-allergic factors. This makes breathing difficult and may trigger recurrent episodes of coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. For some patients, asthma is minor trouble, but, for a few patients, it can be a major problem that may interfere with their daily activities and may lead to life-threatening asthma attacks. Asthma is a very common condition affecting people all over the world. It may affect people of any age group, ranging from a month-old baby to elderly people. Asthma can be controlled with proper management, and one can live a healthy and productive life.
How can Homeopathy help in curing Asthma?
- Asthma results from oversensitivity (hypersensitivity) of the immune system. Homeopathy works by reducing the body’s over-sensitivity and treating the disease at a deeper level.
- Homeopathy corrects your body’s immunity and hence reduces the body’s tendency to catch a frequent cold and cough, recurrent throat infections, etc. Hence, it improves the general health of the patient.
- Homeopathic medicines reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of acute asthma attacks.
- Initially, homeopathy can be taken along with conventional medicines.
- When taken regularly over a period, homeopathic medicines may reduce the frequent need for conventional medicines, such as inhalers, bronchodilators, cortisone, or antibiotics.
- It helps the patient to live an attack-free phase for a long time, as it produces long-lasting results.
- Homeopathic treatment is absolutely safe, non-toxic, and non-habit-forming and hence can be taken as a part of the long-term management of asthma.
How long will it take to cure Asthma?
Many patients experience a definite change in about the initial 4-5 months of the homeopathic treatment, but the total duration of treatment varies from patient to patient depending on the following factors:
- The duration of illness: Since how long has the patient been suffering from asthma?
- The severity of the disease
- Frequency, intensity, and duration of acute attacks of asthma.
