Asthma Natural Remedies
Asthma is a condition that can affect both children and adults. It is associated with chronic inflammation of the lung tissues that leads to narrowing of the air ways. During attacks, muscle cells begin to constrict and breathing becomes difficult.
Asthma actually has two states of being. It is present in some form at all times in sufferers. Swelling regularly occurs in a person’s lungs without causing an attack. This is called the steady state. An asthma attack is the other state. This happens when the swelling grows to the point where breathing becomes difficult. A person can feel chest tightness, shortness of breath and even wheezing. The attack often comes on suddenly and very intensely.
Due to air restriction, severe asthma attacks can cause the sufferer to become cyanotic. That is, turn blue. It can lead to loss of consciousness and severe chest pains.
If a person is knocked unconscious during an attack, immediate medical help is important.Some attacks can be life threatening since they can lead to respiratory arrest. If there are any signs of cyanosis or the person looses consciousness, call for an ambulance immediately.
Asthma can be caused by both environmental and genetic factors.
Environmental causes can affect the lung tissue and can lead to permanent problems. Tobacco use around children is a leading cause. Being around tobacco smoke of any kind can cause acute attacks. Exposure to traffic fumes and ozone are factors as well. Some studies have found that exposure to certain infections or diseases at a young age can contribute to the appearance of asthma later in life.
There are a couple of dozen genes that have been associated to asthma sufferers. But, all of the genes are not present in every sufferer. Scientists think that different combinations of genetic factors can lead to asthma conditions.
Natural remedies can help alleviate problems with asthma. Asthma has been around since the early times of human existence. Many ancient medical traditions have developed formulas to help ease symptoms and treat underlying causes. One such tradition is ancient Tibetan medicine. They have developed a formula that helps to reduce the inflammation in the lungs. At the same time, it works to dilate the airways and make breathing easier. Traditional Tibetan Healing is making this formula available in its Asthma Support Combo.
This combination promotes healing while dealing with asthmatic symptoms.
