In today’s mundane prominent life, people follow an endless race. We have started getting their ill effects of so-called modernization. Modernization has given rise to a spurt of new industries and also the vehicles, which in turn polluting the atmosphere. The results are various diseases in human being, Asthma is one of them.

Asthma is related to respiratory system in which patient suffers from continuous cough and difficult breathing. This disease occurs due to inflammation in bronchi present in lungs.

(1) Early onset or Atopic Asthma- In this type attacks of disease begins in childhood and this type of asthma is mainly found in Atopic individuals(Antibodies produced rapidly due to allergens in these people). In these atopic individuals allergens(Dust with bacteria, Feather, Dust from animal’s body, Fungus etc.) enter in patient’s lungs while respiration and cause antigen-antibody reaction in bronchi and produce constriction in bronchi. This causes coughing, phlegm- spitting and difficult respiration.

(2)Late onset or Non-Atopic Asthma- This is found in non –atopic individuals and mainly in later stage of life, that’s why it is known as Late-onset Asthma. As in this type of Asthma external allergens are not present, it is also called as intrinsic Asthma.

Generally it’s a common view in public that Asthma is an incurable disease, but this concept is wrong. Asthma can be permanently cured by Homoeopathic medicines and the root is that Homoeopathy treats the whole patient not only the disease. So Homoeopathy will treat the patient as a whole, whatever the disease is, it doesn’t matter that patient is suffering from Asthma or any other disease. It will treat the patient (according to his nature) and if patient is cured then the disease (may be Asthma) will be cured definitely. So in Homoeopathy, medicine is given to patient and not for the disease. It means if two brothers are twins and they are suffering from Asthma, yet medicines of Asthma will differ according to their nature. This concept is present only in Homoeopathy and not in other Pathies. As we see that in other Pathies the medicines will be same for a specific disease, which is present in patients with different natures. The conclusion is that we must not be prejudiced that Asthma or other diseases are curable or not curable because it can be concept of Allopathy but this concept must not be applied for Homoeopathy.

In Homoeopathy there is permanent cure of Asthma. If one Homoeopath fails to cure, it’s the fault of that Homoeopath and not of Homoeopathy. One must consult to other Homoeopathic physician, as we go to another Allopathic physician if we are not treated well by one Allopathic physician but never say that Allopathy is bad, just like that we must take Homoeopathy.

In case of Asthma Homoeopathy is efficacious in severe and emergency conditions also. Asthma can be treated permanently by taking continuous Homoeopathic medicine for some time. Though we have explained that there is no specific medicine for disease, yet following are the Homoeopathic medicines, which may be given in Asthma

Ammonium Carb. ; Antim-Tart. ; Argentum nitricum. ; Aspidosperma. ; Arsenic Album. ; Blatta. ; Carbo-veg. ;Cuprum Met. ;Hepar-Sulph. ; Ipecac.; Kali-Carb. ; Lachesis. ; Lobelia. ; Lycopodium. ; Phosphorus. ; Sambucus. ; Silicea. ; Spongia. ; Sulphur. etc.

Potency and doses of the medicine depends on the nature of disease and patient itself.Patient must have some precautions along with medicine such as keep avoidance from Dust, Infections, Pollution, Eating style, Weather changes etc.

Asthma patients must take balanced diet and water in proper quantity, Sound sleep, protect him from effects of weather changes, and have some light exercise and Yoga. He must do those exercises which give strength to lungs and which increase the resistant power. Patients suffering from Asthma must take care of their children from childhood, because there is a great possibility of Asthma in them. There is a suggestion for all Asthma patients that keeping distance from nature can treat no disease. Always try to keep closeness to nature you will be cured earlier, otherwise sensitivity will increase and the disease will aggravate similarly.
