Is Homeopathic treatment completely cure Asthama? And how much time it takes?

Answer 1

People suffering from asthma often have allergic tendencies; a genetic predisposition is common. Constitutional homeopathic care (with the guidance of an experienced professional) can help to improve a person’s general health on deeper levels and possibly reduce the tendency toward asthma. Correctly-chosen remedies can help reduce distress during asthma attacks; however, emergency medical care must be sought in any serious attack. If a person has great difficulty breathing, looks very pale, has bluish lips, or seems to be very weak or in danger of losing consciousness, seek a doctor’s help immediately.

Arsenicum album: A person needing this remedy can feel exhausted, yet be very restless and anxious. Breathing problems tend to be worse while lying down, better when sitting up, and may begin, or be the most intense, between midnight and two a.m. Dry wheezing may progress to a cough that brings up frothy whitish fluid. The person can be thirsty, taking frequent tiny sips. General chilliness is usually seen, with burning pains in the chest and heat in the head. Warmth often brings improvement.

Carbo vegetabilis: This remedy may be indicated when a person feels weak or faint with a hollow sensation in the chest. Coughing jags can lead to gagging. The person may be very cold (especially hands and feet), yet feel a need for moving air, wanting to sit beside a fan or open window. Gas and digestive upset are also likely, and sitting up and burping offers some relief. Feeling worse in the evening, and worse from talking, eating, or lying down are other indications for this remedy.

Chamomilla: Asthma with a dry, hard, irritating cough that starts after being exposed to moving air, or after becoming overexcited and angry, may be helped with this remedy. The cough is often worse around nine p.m., and may continue into the night. The person seems hypersensitive and may be extremely irritable and agitated. (Children may even shriek and hit, though they often calm down if someone carries them.)

Ipecacuanha: Coughing spasms that lead to retching or vomiting strongly indicate this remedy. Wheezing can come on suddenly with a feeling of suffocation and heaviness in the chest. Mucus collects in breathing tubes, but the person has difficulty coughing much out. The person may sweat a lot and feel clammy or nauseous, be worse from motion, and sometimes worse from warmth.

Natrum sulphuricum: This remedy is sometimes indicated when asthma attacks are brought on by exposure to mold and dampness. The person may hold the chest while coughing, because it feels so weak. Wheezing and breathing difficulties are aggravated by exertion, and episodes tend to be worse in the very early morning.

Nux vomica: Indications for this remedy include a tense, constricted feeling in the chest during asthma attacks, with pressure in the stomach. Problems are often worse in the morning. Overindulgence in stimulants, alcohol, sweets, or strong spicy food can bring on or aggravate an episode. Both physical effort and mental exertion can make things worse, and warmth and sleep often bring relief. A person needing this remedy is typically very irritable and impatient, with a general feeling of chilliness.

Pulsatilla: Wheezing that starts when a person gets too warm (especially in a stuffy room), or after eating rich food, can indicate this remedy. Coughing brings up yellow-colored mucus, with gagging and choking. Tightness in the chest tends to be worse in the evening and at night, and is relieved by cool fresh air. A person who needs this remedy is likely to be changeable and emotional, wanting a lot of attention and comforting. (Pulsatilla is often useful in children’s illnesses.)

Spongia tosta: A hard or “barking” cough during an asthma attack is a strong indication for this remedy. Breathing can be labored, with a sawing sound, and not much mucus is produced. The person may feel best when sitting up and tilting the head back, or when leaning forward. Warm drinks may be helpful. The problems often start while the person is asleep (typically before midnight). Spongia is often used in croup, as well.

Homeopathy Dosage Directions

Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a physician, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.

Many homeopathic physicians suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.

If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.

I recently started a homeopathic treatment for my hay fever, which really affects my asthma - I only have difficulty breathing when I suffer from hayfever which is very severe this time of year.

Within a week my hayfever and asthma symptoms were definately less prominent, I am finding it so much easier to breathe and I am so much more comfortable with my hayfever!

I am replying because like I said, hayfever and asthma are connected, and I think the information I have given you will be beneficial to you too.

I am an asthmatic. I am extremely allergic to cats (and I have one--Sid) and horses (I wish I had a herd of them! As does my daughter!!!!!) In my own life, this is what has helped: NO DAIRY! I was macrobiotic (w/ fish) for years and years of my life, and my asthma completely disappeared (and so did about 78-90 lbs...). I also moved from NE to Northern CA, and the dry, dry climate and sun, very, very much helped me. I've moved back to NE (and put/allowed dairy back into my life, and guess what? It's baaaaack!) Network chiropractic helped me tons! I was on the way to the hospital w/ an asthma attack once and stopped by my Chiro's office just on a whim (an b/c I HATE going to hospitals) and he was able to completely stop the attack within about 15 minutes. Peppermint, Osha, Lobelia tincture have helped, as well as Coltsfoot, Yerba Santa, Black Cherry, Burdock, Dandelion, but lobelia is sub-toxic, so know what you're doing first. I'm a trained and certified herbalist.) Coffee has helped me, esp. in a pinch if I've lost or run out of my inhaler, but I feel that adrenal depletion is a huge component of asthma, and adrenal depletion is definitely made worse by long term, chronic, constant coffee drinking, I think.) Massage does help, esp. when my neck and shoulders get so tight I cannot breathe. Eucalyptus essential oil in a steam bath or just in the shower helps immensely. Vacuuming a lot using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner helps. Having my cat be an outdoor/indoor cat (and going to the bathroom outside instead of using the box helps!) instead of just an indoors cat helps immensely, and he's alot happier, too. Airing out my house, even or especially in the winter helps. Not living w/ molds helps (ie moving out of that basement apartment...). I also find not eating wheat helps, but ask me how well I'm doing with that...ugh! I like bread, toast, bagels, sandwiches, cookies, and stuff like that waaayyyyyyyy too much! Anyhow, the cleaner I ate, and the better my lifestyle is/was, the better I felt. It is my consideration that miso soup ( and all homemade soups, really), healthy, lovely , homemade, low dairy primarily vegetarian foods and seaweeds are foods of the goddess. Eat 'em and be well! Blessings on you, and hope this helps! Also white sugar seems to make my symptoms so much worse, so I don't eat it very much, if at all, and when I do, I know it. Mucous forming foods also make my asthma much worse. Acupuncture and moxibustion have helped, as well as Chinese Herbs, but anytime I discontinue don't do the good stuff and start up w/ the bad again (Yup. I'm human.), the asthma returns, gangbusters, and it's usually worse.

Answer 4

I have asthma. My doctors have told me that there is no real "cure" for asthma, but it can be kept under control. My asthma has been under control, through prescription medications, for several years now. I do have to watch out for "triggers" like second hand cigarette smoke, etc., and I have to sleep in an air-conditioned environment. I do believe in homeopathic medicine, but when asthma becomes life-threatening there isn't much time to experiment with natural medicines. Have you consulted a health food store specialist? Have you seen your medical doctor? Don't take chances with this condition, your life could depend on it!

Answer 5

It may cure but whether it will cure completely or give relief depends on several factors. And how much time will it take? No one can predict before hand. May be a few months or may go to a few years.

Answer 6

nothing can be cured if the persons is not 100% commited to be healed....asthma is strongly connected to persons that are very nervous,,,it would be difficult to say if asthma creates nervousness or if nervousness creates asthma,,,,Therefore two remedies should be taken,,,one for the nervous system and one for the asthma...You must always take into consideration your sorroundings regarding the enviroment...such as dust, molds, weather, heat and cold,....read as much as you can on the matter,,,search for solutions and you will be rewarded with a proper answer for your problem.....there is always an answer if you seek it. angel guasch
