HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH TOWARDS ASTHMA
Asthma is a chronic disease involving the airways in the lungs. These airways, or bronchial tubes, allow air to come in and out of the lungs.
If you have asthma your airways are always inflamed. They become even more swollen and the muscles around the airways can tighten when something triggers your symptoms. This makes it difficult for air to move in and out of the lungs, causing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and/or chest tightness.

Pathophysiology –
Due to different causes there occurs inflammation of air ways which results in constriction of smooth muscles and increase in mucus production which further leads of narrowing of the airway and the classic symptoms of wheezing. Due to narrowing there occurs lack of oxygen in lungs. To full fill this need there is increased respiration. Due to lack of oxygen , starts turning blue , dizziness occurs , respiration become labored due to which noisy respiration disappear.
Before starting treatment one should know detail history of patient –, family history ( mother,father,brother,sister) of any disease , his past HISTORY of any disease LIKE--------
