Vital Asthma Information at a Glance
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways of the lungs. This inflammation makes the airways hypersensitive and increases their response to allergens or irritants present in the environment. As the inflammation progresses, the airways get narrower, and this in turn hampers the normal flow of air into the lungs. The change in structure and function of the lungs causes symptoms like wheezing, cough, difficulty in breathing, production of phlegm and chest congestion. These symptoms often worsen at night and early in the morning.
FDA Approved Asthma treatments
Bronchodilators, Oral/inhaled steroids, Short/long Acting Beta Agonists, Leukotriene Modifiers, Anti-cholinergics and Immunomodulators are the most popular FDA approved treatments of Asthma. Since, asthma cannot be addressed with over the counter drugs; you should consult a licensed Doctor for the diagnosis, treatment and “cure” of Asthma. We empathize completely with your pain and suffering and want to do whatever we can to help you. Homeopathy is considered to be medicine in the USA but our precedent setting Resonance Homeopathies cannot be used for over the counter treatment of Asthma. Homeopathy is also considered medicine in Europe and the laws there regarding it are more accommodating. Ayurveda is only considered medicine in India and TCM is accepted as medicine in China. Supplements can only be used and marketed to support the structure and functions of the body and cannot be used to treat any ailment.
