Asthma - Overview
Asthma is a psychosomatic disorder - triggered as much by allergens as by 
dysfunctional  relationships and stress. It is a long-term inflammatory disease of 
the airways of the lungs.  Some of the common symptoms of asthma include 
wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and  shortness of breath. These episodes may 
occur a few times a day or a few times in a week.  Depending on the person, they 
may become worse at night or with exercise. People who suffer  from asthma rarely 
breathe easy. Even the parents of children who suffer from asthma worry  over their 
child’s every breath.
It is important to understand that asthma should not be considered a single 
disease. It does not  have a uniform pattern of presentation. Early medical 
consultation can help control asthma. So,  don’t let the wheeze of asthma strangle 
your zest for life. Take early treatment to cope with it.
Asthma - Symptoms
Some of the common asthma symptoms include:
Coughing, especially at 
night  Wheezing
Shortness of breath
Chest tightness, pain or 
pressure
However, not every person with asthma has the same symptoms. Your asthma 
symptoms may  also vary from one asthma attack to the next, being mild during 
one and severe during another.
In some cases, people suffering from asthma may go for extended periods without 
having any  symptoms, interrupted by periodic worsening of their symptoms called 
asthma attacks. Others  might have asthma symptoms every day. In addition, some 
people may only have asthma while  exercising.
Asthma Causes
Asthma is characterised by an extended expiratory [exhalation] and reduced inspiratory 
[inhalation]  breathing phase. This is due to bronchial spasm - a condition caused by a 
combination of factors. The  causes include allergy to a certain substance [allergen], 
perhaps certain foods, such as eggs, prawns  and shell fish; pollutants, physical 
exertion, viral infection, cold air, tobacco smoke, animal feathers  and dander, and even 
certain conventional medicines. Other factors include chemicals and toxins as  well as 
temperature changes and humidity.
The disorder could also be activated by irritation or infection of the respiratory tract 
or a  gastrointestinal upset, which is typically a result of late or irregular meals, 
hyperacidity, faulty eating  habits, dietetic indiscretion or junk food.
Certain emotional factors such as anxiety and emotional worries may trigger sudden 
bouts of asthma.  Clinicians suggest that a constitutional predisposition could also 
trigger the disorder - this is  supposedly related to desperate feelings of dependence. A 
childs asthmatic attacks, for example,  could be a call for help, or a subconscious appeal 
to his/her mother for attention.
Asthma - Diagnosis
To diagnose asthma, our homeopaths will do a physical exam and ask you questions about your 
signs and  symptoms of asthma and about any other health problems. They will ask about your 
family history, medication  (if any) and your lifestyle.
If needed, they may suggest you lung function tests to detect how well air moves in and out 
as you breathe.  These tests may include
Spirometry: It measures how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly 
you exhale. The  results of this test can help the homeopath tell if you have asthma or how 
well your asthma is managed.
Peak flow: It measures how well air moves out of your lungs. During an asthma episode, your 
airways often  narrow. A peak flow can measure this narrowing hours, even days, before you 
have any asthma symptoms.
After you're diagnosed with asthma, you may also have allergy tests to see if your 
symptoms might be  triggered by an allergy.
