Unfortunately, asthma is a long-term disease that has no conventional cure. In general, asthma is treated with two different types of treatments: Firstly, long-term control is applied in order to reduce inflammation and prevent asthma symptoms from recurring. Secondly, quick-relief medication is used to relieve existing symptoms.
Balance Health can complement your medical asthma action plan with alternative medicine. Homeopathy, acupuncture and Chinese medicine may help you in preventing troublesome symptoms and in maintaining a good lung function.
What causes Asthma symptoms to occur?
The persistently inflamed airways cause recurring periods of coughing, wheezing, chest tightness or shortness of breath. Many factors can trigger or worsen your asthma symptoms. Depending on each individual, triggers may include:
○ Physical exercise
○ Infections such as colds
○ Certain sulfites in foods and drinks
○ Allergens from pollen, animal fur, cockroaches, or mold
○ Irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, or chemicals
○ Medications like aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs and nonselective beta-blockers
