Healing Asthma With Homeopathy

Asthma is a condition when the airways constrict in response to a certain stimuli. Asthma may vary in severity from mild episodes of shortness of breath to constant wheezing, coughing, and severe shortness of breath. An asthmatic attach can be deadly.

The number of people suffering with asthma continues to increase and it is manifesting at an earlier age.  According to the American Family Physician ("Management of Asthma in Children", April 1 2001), 5 million children in the US are affected with asthma. Asthma in children may interfere with normal growth and development.

Asthma can be effectively healed with Homeopathy. The goal of the homeopathic practitioner is to remove the underlying imbalance in the body that is causing asthma. The homeopath looks not only at the asthmatic symptoms but at other factors as well, like additional physical symptoms, emotional makeup, family history of the disease, and so on.

While working with a homeopath, it is important to continue with the conventional medicines for asthma. Depending on the severity of the condition, the patient starts to progress gradually with Homeopathy and will see improvement of her symptoms over a few months. As the condition improves, one can work with her physician to reduce the amount of asthma medication.

The beautiful part is that it is not only the asthma that improves with Homeopathy, the whole person becomes healthier and more vital. After taking a proper homeopathic remedy, you will have more energy, better moods, sleep better, and be less susceptible to colds and other external stressors.

I have been familiar with asthma since childhood. All of my father's relatives had asthma. For all of them, it started around the age of 40 and most of them eventually died from a severe asthmatic attack. Consequently, I came to associate wheezing with an older person and thought I would also start wheezing in my late 30's. So far, fortunately, I have avoided my family's fate. In fact, my propensity to shortness of breath and endless coughing spells miraculously disappeared after my constitutional homeopathic treatment.

My daughter developed wheezing for the first time when she was 9 months old. I was horrified. My beautiful little girl who was just born suddenly started to wheeze like a 40 year old. She would get a cold once a month that would follow with wheezing, endless coughing, or even move into bad bronchitis. My pediatrician started to talk to me cautiously about giving my daughter steroids every time she catches a cold, in order to avoid an asthmatic attack. Shortly after this discussion with her pediatrician, my daughter took a constitutional homeopathic remedy and got better immediately. Her frequent bouts of bronchitis stopped. She has never had to take a bronchodilator since then. She has not wheezed since then. I feel I have been blessed with Homeopathy.
