Asthma and Bronchitis-How Homeopathy Can Help You

The flu season has started. It looks like the virus that is going around in our area causes lots of trouble with coughing. Some of my clients have been experiencing long periods of cough after a cold or a flu.

If you have weakness in your respiratory system, you are susceptible to those long coughs after a respiratory virus. For some of us those cough spells may even go to the bronchitis or pneumonia. Many people, especially kids, develop wheezing with their cough. For some, this periodical wheezing may move into a full blown asthmatic crisis.

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 be followed 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.
