Homeopathy For Asthma
Causes
1. Extrinsic (External) Factors : They comprise of a wide range of allergies, which include allergens such as food allergens, pollutants (Industrial pollutants) , chemicals (pest control), environmental factors (Pollen, dust mites, cats, cockroaches, fungi, smoke) and temperature intolerance. Physical exertion or exercise is known to induce asthmatic episode. Certain infections such as viral, bacterial, or fungal infections often lead to asthmatic breathing.
2. Intrinsic (Internal) factors : The extrinsic factors alone cannot produce asthma, as not every one who is exposed to the pollen develops asthma. Again, not every one who is allergic to pollen develops asthma. This means, asthma is not merely a disease of the lungs but of the immune system.

- The Homeopathic Approach to Asthma
• Homeopathic medicines can be a viable alternative to steroid medications. They can be given as an acute treatment in place of puffers but more importantly, Homeopathic professional treatment working with the whole person can cure asthma entirely. Please remember that although you may be keen to try some natural and effective alternatives.• People suffering from asthma often have allergic tendencies; a genetic predisposition is common. Constitutional homeopathic care can help to improve a person’s general health on deeper levels and possibly reduce the tendency toward asthma.
