Asthma - Its Causes, Symptoms And Treatment

These asthma triggers can be almost anything that causes an allergic reaction – animals, dust, pollen, smoke etc are all valid triggers. In addition, studies have shown an increased risk of asthma in those suffering from obesity as well as smokers.

Symptoms of Asthma

Common symptoms of asthma include coughing, tightness in the chest, wheezing and an overall shortness of breath – especially during periods of strenuous physical activity.  In most cases the prescribed treatment is a steroid based inhaler. As each of the symptoms previously mentioned, impact the body’s ability to inhale air, this steroid inhaler works to increase the size of the air passageways. While this method works, there are other products that provide a more natural asthma relief, without any of the unfortunate side effects inherent in pharmacological products.

Treating The Triggers

As previously mentioned, asthma attacks are often “triggered” by specific environmental factors. While asthma can also be inherited, there have been many cases of people developing asthma without having any occurrences of this in their family. For these people there have been environmental factors at work that have caused asthma to occur. While treating the triggers of asthma will not cure the disease, it will help to either alleviate the symptoms or reduce the impact and occurrence of the attacks themselves.

All Natural Asthma Relief

Natural asthma relief is a means of targeting the triggers that cause asthma attacks to occur.  By noting when the symptoms happen it is possible to target the specific variables that have caused the attack in the first place and then by removing those variables, work to reduce the severity and occurrence of asthma. Natural asthma relief is provided through a series of sprays and liquids that sanitize and sterilize the home environment. These are all anti-allergenic products and additional relief can be obtained through the use of humidifiers and purifiers which work to directly remove allergens from the air also. By ensuring that the home is particularly sterile and clean, it is possible to provide an asthma sufferer with at least one refuge away from the triggers that invoke asthma attacks and to help them find some personal relief also.
