Asthma is a common and potentially serious chronic respiratory disease in which the lungs’ airways get inflamed. This inflammation causes the airways to swell and produce excess mucus, which further obstructs air passage. A sense of tightness is felt in the chest, and often the patient suffers from a severe cough.
These are the common symptoms of asthma:
- Breathlessness
- Wheezing in chest
- Tightness and heaviness in breathing
- Mucus-producing cough
- Whistling sound while breathing
- Chest pain while jogging, walking, or doing any other activity
Homeopathy is the holistic way of treating asthma permanently. Homeopathy does not aim at reducing inflammation. Rather, it cures the disease with its root cause. So, treating asthma with homeopathy is safe because these remedies are natural. Homeopathic remedies for asthma do not produce any side effects. Several homeopathic medicines are used to treat mild or severe asthma.
