Asthma and Homeopathy

It is usually caused by an unknown allergy and can be aggravated by infections such as colds and influenza, as well as by anxiety.

Asthma requires detailed specific prescribing of the "right" homeopathic remedy.

Here is a short of some possible homeopathic remedies. Select the most appropriate remedy on individualization basis. For details please consult Materia Medica.

Arsenicum - The attacks tend to occur between midnight and 3am and force you to sit up and catch your breath. You feel very restless and anxious, and feel better walking around, even though you are quite cold and weak.

Pulsatilla - You are an affectionate, dependent person and possibly hysterical during the attack. You need cool, fresh air; hot and stuffy rooms make you feel terrible.

Chamomilla - Your mood is one of extreme irritability; anger may even have brought on the attack. This remedy is especially helpful in treating irritable, asthmatic children.

Natrum Sulph - This is an important remedy if your attack are brought on by damp or wet weather. The attacks occur very early in the morning and can also follow colds or exertion

Ipecac - Your chest feels full of phlegm that you cannot shift. This provides spasms of coughing, leading to nausea and vomiting. Fresh air helps.
