Use Natural Remedies to Get Dramatic Relief From Asthma
February 23rd, 2010
Researchers have studied asthma for years but as yet there is no cure in sight; asthma cases seem set to increase at a higher rate than ever before. Recent statistics show more than 4000 deaths in the USA every year among asthma sufferers and the number of asthmatic kids is increasing – one in four kids living in urban areas has asthma or asthma symptoms.
Environmental pollution is cited as the leading contributor to the modern day increase in asthmatic kids; smoke, and in particular, tobacco smoke has been shown to be a major cause of respiratory illness including asthma, however genetic factors are also blamed for the worldwide increase in asthma cases. It has also been shown that stress is a factor that can trigger an asthma attack.
Some medical opinions suggest the sharp increase in early antibiotic use on very young children has the effect of interfering with the body’s defence mechanisms, leaving it more susceptible to allergens. This view supports the finding that children born by caesarean section are 20% more likely to be asthmatic than children born naturally, due to the negative effects from the trauma of the surgical procedure on the child’s as yet undeveloped immune system.
Many people scorn natural remedies, believing them to be little more than old wive’s tales. But many asthma sufferers are turning away from drugs to natural remedies, preferring the gentle, longer lasting relief they provide. Even chronic cases have been shown to respond favorably to natural remedies so perhaps the old remedies weren’t so bad after all.
Information about natural remedies is not easy to find which is why most sufferers simply follow the drug regime their medical practitioner prescribes. Fortunately there is a comprehensive guide compiled by an experienced health professional that gives clear and well researched explanations to all asthma related questions and the natural remedies that are safe and effective.
