Asthama and its homeopathic treament

ASTHMA and its Homeopathic Treatment

Compiled by:Dr.Muhammad Asif Nayyer
Aliysha Health Care Centre

The word 'asthma' is derived from the Greek meaning ' panting' or 'labored breathing'. Asthma is a condition characterized by a paroxysmal wheezing dyspnoea (difficulty in breathing), mainly expiratory.

Asthma is very common respiratory complaint, so it is essential to know the symptoms. The treatments available, and the ways of preventing an attack. Asthma involves a severe narrowing of the bronchial tubes. These lead from the windpipe-called the trachea-into the lungs and the carry the oxygen we breathe in to all parts of the lungs and provide product a path for the carbon dioxide (a waste product of the body) to escape up the trachea when we breathe out. The narrowing of the bronchial tubes-or bronchi-results from the contraction of the muscle lining them and cause difficulty in breathing that is most marked when breathing out. For this reason, asthmatics tend to breathe in with short gasps and breathe out with a long breathe against the obstruction.

Causes of Asthma

According to the etiology, bronchial asthma is divided in the following groups:

1. Allergic (extrinsic/ atopic) - This type of asthma usually starts in childhood and is often preceded by eczema. But most of the young adults (35 yrs) developing asthma also fall in this category. Genetic factors also play a significant role in this. In this type of asthma the allergen leads to production of excessive (IgE) immunoglobulins.

2. Infective or Intrinsic - This is not hereditary or allergic, but may be caused by, or at least associated with upper respiratory tract or bronchial infection which is usually viral.

3. Psychological factors (like anxiety, emotional stress etc) are often considered to be the sole cause of some asthmatic attacks, but it is still not certain whether it can be the sole cause or is only a precipitating factor.

4. Occupational asthma - This can occur in certain industries in which there is exposure to metallic dusts (esp. platinum salts), biological detergents, toluene diisocyanate, polyurethane, flour and dust from grains etc.

Asthma - MECHANISM - WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS?

What ever may be the cause, it ultimately leads to paroxysms of bronchial obstruction produced by widespread bronchial spasm accentuated by plugging of the bronchi with excessive mucus.
Asthma - SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

• Recurrent episode of paroxysmal dyspnoea (difficulty in breathing)
• The breathing is laboured, with a wheezing sound, mainly on expiration.
• Asthma attacks often occur in the early hours of morning (when there is no immediate precipitating cause). During the attack patients often prefers to sit then lie down.

Asthma - HOW DIAGNOSIS IS DONE?

Diagnosis can usually be made clinically by a competent doctor. Allergen sensitivity tests, X-ray, spirometry, sputum and blood tests etc may be of use in finding the cause and severity of the condition.

Asthma - WHAT TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM?
• Bronchitis
• Cardiac asthma
• Renal asthma
• Isolated attacks of non-paroxysmal dyspnoea.
Asthma - COMPLICATIONS
• Apart from chronicity, usually no complications.
• Pneumothorax, emphysema, or areas of consolidation or pulmonary collapse may occur in very advanced cases.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT CURE & MEDICINE

Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis, which includes the medical history of the patient, physical and mental constitution etc.
General Approach - As far as I know homeopathy is the only system of medicine which tries to 'cure' this disease, instead of trying to provide symptomatic relief. While dealing with a case of asthma, a homeopath not only records the symptoms of the disease but also studies the medical history, family history, physical and psychological characteristics of a person. This helps to find the cause, the precipitating factors, and the hereditary tendency etc. Of special interest to a homeopath is the history of suppression of skin disease. Homeopaths believe that when there is a tendency or predisposition for a disease - it first manifests on the less vital organs, towards the periphery (like skin). If this manifestation is suppressed than the disease shifts inwards, towards the more vital organs (like lungs, heart, brain etc).
The fact that in children asthma is often preceded by eczema is observed by the allopath also. This fact is written in all their textbooks of medicine. They say that children often 'move-out' of eczema and 'move-into' asthma. But they are unable to make a correlation. Homeopaths believe that the suppression of eczema with topical preparations, does not cure the disease/sensitivity of the person, it merely drives it inwards.
Now after ascertaining the symptoms and the cause, the homeopath tries to find a medicine which matches the symptoms as well as the general characteristics of the person. The medicine so selected is administered to the patient.
It is often (not necessarily) observed by homeopaths that when a right medicine is given, the asthma disappears but the old eczema (if it was there originally) reappears for some time, before finally disappearing itself. This
Reappearance of old symptoms is seen as a reversal of disease process and is considered a very good prognostic sign by homeopaths.
Following homeopathic medicines have been found effective in many cases of Asthma:

MEDICINES -

There are lots of medicines in homeopathy for asthma and it is not possible to list them all here. Some of the common medicines are Arsenic-Alb, Ipecac, Lachesis, Pulsatilla, spongia, sulphur, Ignatia, Antim-tart, Hepar-sulph, Nat-sulph, and Tuberculinum etc. The selection of medicine varies from patient to patient.
Acalypha indica: Cough with bloody expectoration; sometimes violent dry cough precedes the expectoration.

Ailantheus glandulosa: Deep dry and hacking cough, with asthmatic expansion of lungs; cough with headache and congestion of face.
Aletris farinosa: Short, dry and tickling cough worse on waking and talking; discharge of urine during cough; cough suddenly relieved by menstruation.
Aralia racemosa: Cough associated with constriction of chest, worse lying down, after the first sleep, has to sit up and cough violently; asthma, with oppression as from a weight on stomach, worse night on lying down, better by raising a little tough mucus.
Asarium europaeum: Frequent cough followed by difficult breathing; cough caused by deep inspiration.
Blatta orientalis: Asthma associated with bronchitis, suitable for fatty people, cough associated with dyspnoea.
Blumea odorata: Barking like cough controls hoarseness due to cough.
Boerhavia diffusa: Indicated for dry cough as well as cough with whitish thick expectoration.
Ephedra vulgaris: Mother tincture is used to control asthmatic attack; in reduced doses it is also helpful in pulmonary heart disease.
Glycyrrhiza glabra: Used as expectorant; prevents recurrent respiratory infections.
Grindelia: Tenacious mucous difficult to detach.
Justicia adhatoda: Violent cough with tough expectoration and tightness of chest; great fear of suffocation; usually cough associated with vomiting.
Pothos foetidus: Asthma worse from any inhalation of dust. Rumex crispus: Cough usually with headache; worse eating, in the evening and on lying down

Asthma - Lifestyle & General Management
• Avoid the allergen you are sensitive to.
• Do regular light exercise like brisk walking or jogging. Heavy exercise can precipitate an attack of asthma, so always do mild exercise without putting too much strain on your body.
• Learn breathing exercises to improve your lung capacity. Of especial use is 'pranayam', a yoga exercise.
• Learn some stress relieving exercises, meditation, or yoga to minimize the psychological factors related to disease.
• Eat healthy, nourishing and well balanced diet.

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.
