Asthma - No More a Handicap

Asthma is posing a great challenge to the medical science for its prevention and cure. Even the best prepared individuals can suffer from the sudden attacks of Asthma and the serious attacks can even bring life to an end.

It is very important for a person to be aware of the fact that he is suffering from Asthma. Monitoring the conditions of Asthma on continuous basis is an essential step towards its treatment. Depending on the situation, there are three important and effective steps to be followed for the cure of Asthma. They are as given below:

• Reducing the chances of attacks: The Asthma sufferer will have to keep in mind the circumstances which aggravates Asthma and may cause an attack. Only then they would be able to take necessary preventive measures. Air pollution is the most prominent factor which may cause the attack of Asthma and it also creates many other respiratory problems.


• Relief from the attack: One of the methods of relief for Asthmatics is to make use of a kit called a Bronchodilator. It is designed only for less serious attacks. As the seriousness of the situation increases, additional medication is required. Low dose of glucocorticoids or a mast cell stabilizer can be used for the patients who get more regular attacks.


• Immediate treatment in case of severe attack: Oral glucocorticoids may be used for those Asthma patients who need strong medication for severe attacks. Bronchodilator works as a standard reliever for all asthma patients.

Any long-term use of medication to relieve attacks can create harmful side-effects like impotence, fatigue, liver damage, dizzy spells, and depression. Many patients are now following natural remedies which do not have adverse side-effects. Yoga is playing a vital role in Asthma treatment as many yoga exercises are focused mainly on breath control. According to research findings, the diet plays a crucial role in reducing Asthma symptoms. Omega-3 fatty acids, present originally in high-fat fish such as mackerel, salmon or cod, help the body to produce more elements that help to decrease Asthma inflammation.
