One of the most worrying global health trends in recent years is the number of asthma sufferers; it wasn’t that long ago that asthma only affected a small percentage of the population. Although it is treatable, asthma is still a chronic condition which affects the function of breathing of every person who is affected by it. This is a respiratory condition that when not treated properly can easily result in death, if the attack is not attended to in time or is severe.
One of the most important steps for an asthma sufferer is keeping a constant check on their condition. The specific medical treatment depends on the severity of the condition and the frequency of symptoms and specific treatments for it are broadly classified as:
*Medications to prevent attacks
*Treating minor attacks
*Emergency treatment for serious attacks
For short term relief for all patients Bronchodilators are recommended but those with occasional mild attacks need no other medication; this form of medication is the one that many asthmatics will only ever need.
Patients with mild but frequent attacks have other medication available to them like a leukotriene modifier or a mastcell stabilizer. Additional medication is required, as the seriousness of the asthma condition increases. Whatever the level of severity they experience all sufferers have a traditional reliever to aid them. The asthmatics condition by careful monitoring should not be difficult to identify exactly what it is that is an attack trigger. This means that attacks can be avoided if not eliminated altogether. Medical science has now confirmed that the poorer the air quality increases the odds of this and other related respiratory problems occurring.
The medications used to help prevent and treat attacks is very effective but should only be used sparingly; prescription drugs may also cause serious side effects such as:
*Constantly fatigued
*Dizzy spells
*Lack of sexual drive
*Feelings of despair
*Damage to the liver and sometimes other organs
Increasingly patients with respiratory conditions are opting for more natural remedies that do not have side-effects. These are formulated to treat the condition and not the effects. Every attack weakens the body’s system a little as it becomes hyperactive where the task of the catalyst in medication is to calm and soothe this hyperactive system. Natural medications provide natural organic catalysts to the body that restore balance in the system and thereby eliminate all the symptoms without any side effects.
Pranayam, buteyko and yoga practices breathing techniques have been found helpful to those suffering from asthma as they naturally help the general well-being and breathing of patients. Nutritional supplements and good diet will help improve the immune response and the overall health of the patients. A good nutritional diet will also help improve the immune system but the importance should not be underestimated of the asthma patient managing their own condition.
