If you or a loved one has asthma, you should know about the most effective asthma treatments for short-term relief and long-term control. Understanding asthma treatments will enable you to work with your asthma doctor to confidently manage your asthma symptoms daily.
General Approach
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which tries to ‘cure’ this disease, instead of trying to provide symptomatic relief. While dealing with a case of asthma, a homeopath not only records the symptoms of the disease but also studies the medical history, family history, physical and psychological characteristics of a person. This helps to find the cause, the precipitating factors, and the hereditary tendency etc.
After ascertaining the symptoms and the cause, the homeopath tries to find a medicine which matches the symptoms as well as the general characteristics of the person. The medicine so selected is administered to the patient.
Asthma Symptoms
Asthma is characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes with increased production of sticky secretions inside the tubes. People with asthma experience symptoms when the airways tighten, inflame, or fill with mucus.
These days children staying in metros develop asthma because of high levels of pollution and minute hydrocarbons present in the air. For a child the respiratory system is the weakest and invariably the disease settles either as tonsillitis, bronchitis or sinusitis. When the patient is taken to a regular allopathic doctor he is put on strong antibiotics and also small doses of steroids(present in inhalers-asthalin and others). This lowers the natural immunity of a child and he starts falling sick very often. Repeated doses of nebulizers lowers the elasticity of the lung vessels and then asthma like symptoms develop.

Common asthma symptoms include:
- Coughing, especially at night
- Blocked nose
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Chest congestion, tightness, pain, or pressure
Asthma Causes:
1. Allergic (extrinsic/ atopic) Asthma – This type of asthma usually starts in childhood and is often preceded by eczema. But most of the young adults (<35 yrs) developing asthma also fall in this category. Genetic factors also play a significant role i this. In this type of asthma the allergen leads to production of excessive (IgE) immunoglobulins.
2. Infective or Intrinsic Asthma – This is not hereditary or allergic, but may be caused by, or at least associated with upper respiratory tract or bronchial infection which is usually viral.
3. Emotional Asthma – Psychological factors (like anxiety, emotional stress etc) are often considered to be the sole cause of some asthmatic attacks, but it is still not certain whether it can be the sole cause or is only a precipitating factor.
4. Occupational asthma – This can occur in certain industries in which there is exposure to metallic dusts.
What ever may be the cause, it ultimately leads to paroxysms of bronchial obstruction produced by widespread bronchial spasm accentuated by plugging of the bronchi with excessive mucus.
Facts to know:
Massive construction is on peak these days. Dust is a very aggravating factor for such patients.
Pollen grains, husk that flies in the air during harvest in north India is a major precursor of asthma during spring time.
Kids who are prone to wheezing,bronchial asthma should be very careful during holi time. These colours aggravate the allergies.
Precautions during holi:
For dry colour: Use natural colours like turmeric, dried marigold and rose petals and powdered.
For liquid colour: Take beetroot and grate it. Add 2 litre of water and leave it for 2 hours, sieve it and the colour is ready.
