Breath is life. Effective breathing is essential for the normal functioning of all the systems in our body, from cognition to digestion. Imagine if you could not breathe for a moment, it would create a distressful and life-threatening situation for you. We are very fortunate to perform this high priority activity normally without any difficulty. But, there are some among us who experience breathing problems which can range from mild to life-threatening. Asthma is one such condition in which an individual’s airways get inflamed, and narrow which makes it hard to breathe. This might result in the production of extra mucus and cause wheezing and coughing.

Asthma is a long-term chronic disease of the respiratory system that adversely affects the tubes that carry air into and out of the lungs. Asthma can disrupt the daily routine of the person and shrink the quality of life-limiting certain activities as well as performance. Asthma also negatively affects the physical and emotional health of the person. To treat the disease, you have to first understand it properly. In this article, I will be sharing with you some meaningful information about asthma and guidance to tackle health issues so that you can help yourself or someone known to you suffering from this disease. I will also provide some effective homeopathic remedies to resolve asthma and restore the respiratory system back to a normal state.

Signs and Symptoms of Asthma

Symptoms of asthma attacks or early signs of asthma vary from person to person depending on their body constitution and causes. Here, I am giving some common symptoms which are usually observed in persons suffering from asthma:

• Coughing and wheezing
• Difficulty in breathing
• Feeling tightness, pain, or pressure in the chest
• Fatigue
• Problem in sleeping
• Allergies or nasal congestion
• Alteration in colour of lips or fingernails

• Allergens such as dust mites, pet danders, pollen, and similar
• Stress and anxiety
• Extreme temperatures
• Physical exertion
• Certain drugs or medication
• Exposure to some chemicals, gases, or dyes

Homeopathy solutions for Asthma

Homeopathy is based not on the concept that natural supplements and medications can support the body to heal itself. Homeopathy follows a holistic approach to treat asthma patients. Medicines are produced using natural substances and minerals which enhance the complete health of the individual without causing any damage to other body organs. Homeopathy works on the principle of individuality in which each person is considered unique and hence given personalized remedial solutions for the concerned problems. Homeopaths start the process of treatment by identifying the actual causes of the disease and then plan to remove the health issues from its source.

Expert homeopaths talk to the patients for analyzing their physical and mental well being, inquire about the patient’s past and family history. Then after taking into consideration all the factors design a customized treatment plan, best dose and potency most suited for the patients. Homeopathic medicines are properly matched with pathological conditions as well as general characteristics of the patients. Homeopathic medicines are most effective and generate the best results. Homeopathy has evidence to achieve long-lasting cures for asthma.
