Asthma: Causes, Symptoms and Homeopathic Care
- Asthma is a long-term respiratory disease that affects the lungs and airways
- It can affect children, adults, and elderly people
- Asthma causes difficulty in breathing due to narrowing of air passages
- Symptoms may occur occasionally or frequently depending on severity
- With proper care and treatment, asthma can be effectively managed
What is Asthma?
- Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition of the airways
- The airways react strongly to triggers like dust, smoke, or cold air
- Swelling and mucus block the flow of air in lungs
- This leads to breathing difficulty, wheezing, and coughing
- Asthma is not contagious but may run in families
How Asthma Affects the Lungs
- Airways become swollen due to inflammation
- Muscles around the airways tighten suddenly
- Excess mucus is produced inside the air passages
- Oxygen supply to lungs becomes reduced
- Patient experiences breathlessness and chest tightness
