Millions of Americans have asthma. Asthma is a chronic disease in the airways, lungs, and breathing passages. Inflammation can cause the airways to swell and make it challenging to breathe. After swelling the muscles around the airway tighten, causing difficulty in breathing.
There is no current cure for asthma, and it has many different causes. It is typically treated using prescribed medication or homeopathic remedies.
Below are some homeopathic remedies for asthma.
Ipecacuanha
Some individuals who suffer from severe coughing that leads to retching or vomiting may benefit from Ipecacuanha. Wheezing brings a feeling of heaviness in the chest or even suffocation. When the breathing tubes fill with mucus, you may be unable to express the mucus by coughing. Ipecacuanha helps to thin the mucus by making coughing easier. This remedy may also be useful if you sweat a lot, feel clammy, nauseous, and if symptoms worsen from warmth or motion. Ipecacuanha comes in many forms: lozenges, pills, powders, ointments, and liquids.
Arsenicum Album
Dry coughing and wheezing may turn into a cough wet with a frothy white fluid which can be helped with arsenicum album. Burning discomfort in the chest and problems breathing while laying down may be treated using arsenicum album. These are typically pills, dissolvable tablets, liquid, or powder. They can be taken daily like vitamins or as needed.
Chamomilla
Asthma symptoms that have a dry, irritating cough may benefit from this remedy. A dry cough may come from over-excitement, anger, anxiety, or exposure to moving air whether cold or warm. This cough usually begins at night. Chamomilla can help ease these symptoms; it is used as an oil you can roll or spray on wrists and behind ears. It can also be used as a dry herb that can be placed in tea.
Chiropractic Care
Homeopathic remedies for asthma in Waterford, MI may include chiropractic care, which plays a significant role in the health of the nervous and musculoskeletal system.
If the body has a slight misalignment, it can adversely impact vital organs like the heart and lungs, causing them to function improperly. Chiropractic adjustments realign the body by focusing on the spine. A chiropractor uses gentle stretching to align the spine and reduce stress on the nervous system which helps the immune system to function correctly.
The nervous system directly impacts immune health. When the immune system is healthy, it improves lung function and reduces asthmatic symptoms.
