Wheeze Relief With Holistic Homeopathy

Homeopathy treats asthmatic symptoms that are unique to the individual, not just the outward signs — because, no two asthmatic individuals present with the same symptoms.

Picture this. Most of us are unable to breathe freely, when we are severely allergic to odour, smoke, pollutants, pollen, mould and house dust mite [HDM]. Or, imagine this — that you are caring parents monitoring every breath your child takes.

Welcome to the living rooms of millions of people suffering from asthma.

Asthma comes from the Greek word, aazein, which means, “to exhale with open mouth; to gasp.”

It is this typical feeling in asthma that makes its ‘subjects’ run almost out of breath.

Asthma is a psychosomatic disorder — triggered by allergens, dysfunctional relationships and stress. It not only disrupts a family’s normal functioning, but also deflates the affected individual’s belief in their abilities.

Asthma is a chronic condition. It affects millions of people worldwide. Furthermore, statistics reveal that the disorder affects approximately 1 in 15 children, making it the most common chronic childhood illness.

SYMPTOMS

Tightness, pain or pressure in chest

An audible wheezing sound, especially when exhaling

Shortness of breath

Persistent cough, especially at night, or in the early morning hours, albeit this may differ from one individual to another.

BASIC FACTS

During an asthma attack, the lung’s airways [bronchioles] become inflamed. They begin to contract and are flush with excess amounts of mucous. This limits the airflow; it also makes breathing difficult. Asthma attacks are triggered by environmental pollution, cigarette smoke, household cleaning agents or toxins too. Other triggers include change of weather, air temperature, or humidity. Likewise, allergies and physical exertion can trigger asthma.
