Asthma Treatment: Natural or Medicinal?

Asthma affects a lot of people all over the world yet even if it is a persistent disease, it can still be controlled and managed. There are natural ways to do it and there are those who go for the medicines prescribed by physicians. Treatment varies from person to person as there is not any cookie cutter solution to asthma.

October 25, 2010 – If you are suffering asthma, you are not alone. Every day in America, there are 30,000 people having asthma attacks. There are also 5,000 people who visit the emergency room, 1,000 people being admitted to the hospital and 11 people die because of asthma every day in the United States. These are all according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. These figures show that asthma is a very serious illness that people should be wary about.

How can asthma be cured? They say asthma is incurable as it can stay with the patients from the day they are born until their adult years. However, there are many ways on how to manage the chronic respiratory illness.

Medications are classified into two: long term controllers and quick relievers. Long term medications prevent or revers any form of inflammation in the respiratory system, enabling the patient to breathe better and have lesser asthma attacks. Quick relievers are used to be able to ease the patient’s coughing, wheezing or tightness of the chest. These are all prescribed by the physician upon consultation.

There are also other remedies such as herbal infusions and organic medicine that can aid in the prevention of symptoms of asthma attacks. There are also patients who go for breathing therapies and exercises. There are some people who think that swimming can help strengthen the lungs and aid in the treatment of asthma. Others also try to lessen the existence of anything in the surroundings that can trigger asthma attacks such as animal hair, dust and other allergens. Technology can be used to do this, however they can be quite a challenge as regular maintenance of the surroundings is crucial.
It is always a wise decision to consult a physician before starting on any form of treatment for asthma.
