Homeopathy & Asthma - Helping you breath easily...

Asthma is a condition which affects millions of people around the world, and its symptoms can range from mild to severe. While conventional treatments like inhalers are used to provide relief from asthma attacks, some asthmatics are now turning to homeopathic remedies for a more comprehensive solution.

Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine that uses a holistic approach to healing the body. It aims to treat the underlying cause of a patient’s health problem rather than solely focusing on relieving symptoms. Homeopathy has been used successfully to treat various conditions and ailments, including asthma. Asthma is a lung condition caused by inflammation, leading to difficulty breathing. Homeopathy can be used to balance the body’s natural functions and reduce inflammation, thus helping alleviate asthmatic symptoms.

Homeopathy works by treating the individual with natural substances that stimulate the body’s own healing process. This means that while the remedies may be derived from plants or minerals, they are specially prepared in such a way as to have an optimal effect on the patient’s unique symptoms. So if you’re looking for a holistic, natural and gentle way of treating your asthma then here are some homeopathic remedies that might work for you:

Aconitum Napellus – For sudden attacks of shortness of breath, accompanied by anxiety and a feeling of impending death. The person may feel worse in cold air, at night, and when lying down.
