Definition:
Asthma is a lung condition that causes blockage of the airways lungs. It is
usually caused by an allergic reaction to substances like pollens,
molds, dust, chemicals, and in some cases foods. The breathing problems
associated with this condition are a result of chronic inflammation
and hypersensitivity of the air passages.
Symptoms:
Typical symptoms of an asthmatic attack are coughing, wheezing, tightness in
the chest sometimes severe, and of course difficulty breathing.
Holistic Treatment Plan:
Treating asthma consists of determining the allergens involved,
using natural substances that limit the effects of the allergens,
over-all strengthening of the immune system, and detoxifying the
body. Homeopathic preparations of environmental allergens like mold,
pollen, dust and animal hair are used successfully to fully desensitize
the body . The Homeopathics are more successful after the nutritional
support as been used for at least four weeks.
