VEN TODAY, ASTHMA REMAINS A POORLY MISUNDERSTOOD TOPIC.

Often thought to be a childhood problem, the truth is that it can be triggered at any age. Statistically, the majority of people who suffer from asthma are adults.

Some think it is no worse than a cold or the flu. For those who have experienced asthma, though, it can be a frightening and very uncomfortable occurrence.

Simply put, asthma is a condition that affects the airways and breathing of the person who has it.

ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

It is triggered when the airway comes into contact with something that irritates the lining, causing it to become inflamed and begin to swell.

The airways narrow even more due to the eventual build-up of mucus.

This narrowing has a constrictive effect on the airways causing the difficulty in breathing that we know as asthma.

The wheezing, shortness of breath and feelings of tightness in the chest becomes so common in asthma that it can easily fill the person with a sense of real fear, making them feel as if they are being asphyxiated.

The triggers for asthma vary from person to person, depending on individual sensitivity. What might irritate one asthmatic sufferer may be completely harmless to another.

An important element in asthma control is learning about your individual triggers and then avoiding them as much as possible.

Introduction

Sometimes the asthma trigger may be obvious - pet dander, cat or dog hair, for example - After exposure to such things, the asthma symptoms will soon follow.

But often the trigger may not be at all obvious, only producing symptoms much later, in what is know as a delayed reaction.

The very first thing to do when experiencing any kind of difficulty with breathing is to consult a medical doctor.

Nowadays, advanced treatments can offer the asthmatic person the opportunity to live a normal and full life.

Following a diagnosis of asthma, an inhaler or nebulizer is often prescribed which can be used in order to calm inflammation and lessen the severity of the reaction to the trigger.

Sometimes preventer medication and or steroids are advised in order to deal with acute symptoms.

Studies have shown that physical activity plays and important part in asthma prevention, but it is believed that fully 80% of asthma sufferers do not get sufficient exercise.

Maintaining a healthy weight, combined with physical exercise helps to improve lung function, easing breathing.

Eating a well-balanced, healthy diet, including a variety of different fresh fruit and vegetables can help enormously in controlling asthma.

In addition, specific foods have been proven to protect against asthma and to help with lung function.

Research has shown that eating foods rich in vitamin C such as strawberries, kiwis and citrus fruit may have a significant, protective effect on asthma's respiratory symptoms.

Further, breath shortness was lessened by 32% and chronic cough by 25%.

The study found that children who had already been diagnosed with asthma when the study began benefitted the most.

Even amongst those children who ate fruit only once or twice a week fruit's protective effects were evident.

Dutch research has confirmed these findings, demonstrating that people who ate the most fruit and vegetables had the healthiest lung function.

Foods rich in vitamin E and C are believed to help reduce the inflammatory response in the lungs of those who suffer from asthma.

Stress management can also be vital in asthma attacks prevention.

Use Ester C if other Vitamin C supplements give you stomach problems. If you have diarrhea when taking vitamin C, just back off on the amount you are taking, until you have no more diarrhea.

TREATING ASTHMA

A

STHMATICS USUALLY BRING ASTHMA INHALERS WITH THEM.

In case of asthmatic attack, the inhaler is crucial to provide immediate therapy.

An attack is an emergency and should be given prompt attention lest the condition may worsen.

Asthma inhalers have ingredients that relieve the inflamed lungs and respiratory parts that become constricted during an asthma attack.

Bronchospasm is the most common effect of an attack. Inhalers take immediate effect on the airways thus is more preferred than oral medications.

ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

Beside the asthma inhaler, there are also other treatments available. The type of treatment, however, is a case to case basis.

You should always consult with your doctor on which type of treatment is most appropriate for you.

Treatment for a person is not always the right one for another. It always depends on the causes, triggers, risk factors, severity of condition, and overall health of the person.

Every person should be closely monitored after seeing a doctor so that proper treatment and care is given to the asthmatic person.

There should be a asthma management plan worked out with your doctor. A good treatment plan may include being desensitized from agents that cause the signs of asthma.

Others may require certain medications that are meant to control the severity and frequency of the attacks.

Since asthma is a chronic condition, there is no absolute cure for it. The best thing you can do is to find a treatment plan that is most appropriate to your specific condition.

Work out a management plan that will prevent asthma attacks and give emergency cure when one happens.

Your plan should both be to prevent and to provide immediate relief. Ensure that you understand the uses and precautions of inhalers and nebulizers.

Be guided accordingly on how to properly use each agent and what are the emergency measures to watch out for.

Have an open communication with your doctor and ask all the questions and doubts you have in mind.

Clarify all issues and seek proper advice. Do not self-medicate and do not presume. It is always best to be safe.

Thus, even though you feel good in your skin and would not even think about starting a diet, it is absolutely necessary to start burning that fat if you want to have a healthy body.

The necessity of having a normal weight is even more acute when you suffer of asthma.

Herbal Remedies For Asthma

A

STHMA SUFFERERS RELY HEAVILY ON MEDICINE TO KEEP THEIR

condition under control.

They use inhalers in case of emergency and specific medicine on a daily basis.

However, the overuse of these medicines can significantly affect the human body, as there are many counter indications which, in time, will harm the body and make it even more sensitive to external factors.

But what if you could obtain the same results as when taking medicine, but without having those dangerous side effects?

Herbal Remedies For Asthma

15

What if you could live your normal life and treat your condition in a natural way, without being necessary to ingest all kinds of chemical?

Would this not be great?

Well, I think that most asthmatics will surely enjoy the possibility of totally removing the medicines from their lives and start a new life by treating their condition using herbs.

This thing is possible and it has been done from long time by other cultures.

There are 2 main mixes of herbs which can help asthmatics live their life the natural way, without chemical drugs which were temporary alleviating their suffering, but had disastrous effects on the long run.

The first mix of herbs is one highly used in Middle East countries, which consists of chamomile, cinnamon, sage, black cumin seeds, cloves, rosemary, spearmint and thyme, as well as other similar herbs with therapeutic effects.

This combination of herbs has been used for centuries in Middle East countries to treat asthma or at least alleviate its symptoms.

The other herb combination which is believed to have great effects upon the human body and offer great results in treating asthma is the mixture called Saiboku-To. This mixture - which has its origins in Asia contains 10 herbs - from which the best known are ginger, magnolia, Baikal skullcap, licorice and Korean ginseng.

Most of the patients which have been treated using this Asian blending of herbs reported serious improvement in their conditions and reductions in their steroidal medication.

If you suffer from asthma, you should definitely try at least one of these blends. They have the advantage of being 100% natural and of not presenting any side effects which may damage or affect your health in a negative way.

STHMA SUFFERERS KNOW BEST THAT LIVING WITH THIS CONDITION IS

quite hard.

Since it prevents you from being involved in normal activities.

Such as walking in the park when all the flowers are blooming, running, playing and even get proper rest.

This is why it is highly important to monitor this ailment and see the way in which it evolves.

How Can An Asthma Diary Help You Treat Your Condition

17

This monitoring is best to be done daily.

Many asthma sufferers have made a habit out of keeping a diary of their condition.

Not only is that helping them keeping track of the number of attacks they have had in a certain period.

But this type of recording is also highly useful for their doctors, which are able to evaluate the way in which their patients' condition is evolving.

Also, on the basis of the accurate description provided by the patient, the doctor is capable of better observing the way in which the medicine are affecting the individual and whether they are efficient in treating the asthma or they are only worsening the condition.

Thus, asthma diaries can prove to be very effective in finding a personalized cure, which will treat the patient or at least make their life better.

For this reason, it is advisable that each and every asthmatic should keep a diary where to record all the information they think is necessary about their daily condition and the symptoms they are experiencing during a normal day.

Things like the symptoms preceding an attack, the feelings one feels when an asthma attack strikes, the things which may trigger the attacks and the way in which the current actions and the environment affect the individual is information that should be written in the diary.

The more accurate is the information noted down in the diary, the more effective the treatment based on those notes will be.

The asthma diaries are helpful tools in treating this condition properly. By knowing exactly what symptoms you experience before having an attack, you can prevent it from happening.
