Asthma is a
disease of
diffuse
airway
inflammation
caused by
variety of
triggering
stimuli
resulting in
partially or
completely
reversible
bronconstriction. |
 |
Epidemiology:
The
prevalence
of asthma
seems to
have
increased
since 1970s,
and asthma
now seems to
affect 4 to
7% of people
worldwide.
Prevalence
is higher
for people
<18 yrs than
for those 18
to 64 yr and
is higher
for males
before
puberty and
in females
after
puberty. |
Aetiology
(cause)
Development
of asthma is
multifactorial
and depends
on
interaction
between
multiple
susceptibility
genes and
environment
factors.
Evidence
clearly
implicates
household
(dust mites
, cockroach,
pet) and
other
environmental
(pollen)
allergens in
disease
development
in older
children and
adults. Air
pollution is
not
definitively
linked to
disease but
can trigger
exacerbations.
Asthma also
has been
linked to
perinatal
factors such
as young
maternal
age, poor
maternal
nutrition,
prematurity,
low birth
weight, and
lack of
breast
feeding. |
Signs and Symptoms:
Patients with mild
intermittent or mild
persistent asthma
are typically
asymptomatic between
exacerbations. Those
with more severe
disease or those
with exacerbations
experience dyspnoea,
chest tightness,
audible wheezing,
and coughing;
coughing maybe the
only symptoms in
many patients.
Symptoms can worsen
during sleep, often
around 4 am. Many
with more severe
disease suffer
nocturnal awakenings
(nocturnal asthma) |
Homoeopathic
Approach
Homoeopathic
treatment is
strongly recommended
in Asthma. |
|
Homoeopathic
medicines act by: |
- Relieving
the symptoms
- Preventing
exacerbations
(attacks)
- Controlling
and curing the
disease process
|
Relieving the
symptoms:
Homoeopathic
medicines offer
considerable relief
symptoms of
asthmatic patients
like dyspnoea, chest
tightness, audible
wheezing, and
coughing. |
Preventing
exacerbations
(attacks):
Homoeopathic
medicines prevent
any exacerbations at
fist prolonging the
time between
episodes and later
preventing their
occurrence leading
to permanent cure. |
Controlling and
curing the disease
process:
Homoeopathic
medicines offer
permanent cure in
asthma they act by
enhancing the
individual’s immune
response against
allergens, thus
producing stronger
immunity so as to
decrease the diffuse
airway inflammation
caused by a variety
of triggering
stimuli.
Asthmatic
development is
multifactorial and
depends upon
interaction between
susceptible genes
and environmental
factors. Thus
homoeopathy with its
deep acting
constitutional
remedies offers
excellent results.
Our medicines have
not to be taken for
life time. Once
cured the patients
develops immunity
towards the
triggering stimulus
which is maintained
even after
medication is
stopped.

Do I have to
continue medicine
all my life?
Homoeopathy cures
the patient
permanently and once
the patient is fully
cured medicines are
stopped.

Special diet
consultations are
offered in asthma
which helps in
controlling the
disease once the
individual is cured
he/she is welcome to
pamper their taste
buds. |
