Asthma is an ancient Greek word meaning ‘panting or short-drawn breath’. It is an allergic condition resulting from the reaction of the body to one or more allergens and is the most troublesome of respiratory diseases. An asthma patient gets frequent attacks of breathlessness, in between which he may even be completely normal. Asthma is a very common respiratory disease, it affects the trachea and bronchial tubes by becoming inflamed and plugged with mucus. This causes the airways to narrow, restricting the amount of air going to the lungs, and makes it very difficult to breathe. Asthma can occur in anyone but is very common in children and young adults. Typical symptoms of an asthma attack are coughing, wheezing, tight chest, difficulty breathing. Home remedies for asthma can help breathing.
There are 2 types of asthma, allergic asthma, and nonallergic asthma. Some of the allergens that can trigger an asthma attack are chemicals, drugs, smoke, dust, food additives, pollution, mold, etc. Nonallergic asthma can cause by anxiety, exercise, dry or humid weather, fear, laughing, stress etc. Home remedies for asthma can help these conditions as well.
The rate, in which asthma attacks have increased in the past few years is alarming, especially in children.
Scientists believe that there is a strong link between contamination in the air we breathe and asthma, evidence suggests that the percentage of people who live in big cities and have asthma attacks is far greater than those of people who live in rural areas. However, this may not be the only reason, it is believed that genetic, food additives, toxins etc. could also contribute to asthma attacks.
Modern medicine can offer very little to children with asthma, most drugs can only produce a temporary effect. Home Remedies For Asthma, on the other hand, can be very helpful, not only reducing attacks but also strengthening the lungs and immune system. You’ll learn to treat this disease with many combinations of herbs such as mullein , elecampane and more.

I was diagnosed with COPD & emphysema in May of this year. I have been smoke free for 14 months. I quit because my first granddaughter was going to be born! I didn’t want to smell like an ashtray when I held her! Since then I have been having trouble breathing, gained twenty pounds since quitting smoking I was exercising and not losing any weight, seeing a dietician and being told to quit eating practically!
