What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting people of all ages. It is caused by inflammation and muscle tightening around the airways, which makes it harder to breathe.

Common causes of Asthma

Asthma symptoms result from ongoing inflammation (swelling) that makes your airways very sensitive and narrower than normal.  Common triggers for asthma include: Indoor allergens, such as dust mites, mold, and pet dander or fur.  Outdoor allergens, such as pollen and mold. Emotional stress, such as intense anger, crying, or laughing.

Scientists continue to explore what causes asthma, but we do know that these factors play an important role in the development of asthma:  Family history, Allergies, Viral respiratory infections, Occupational exposures, Smoking, Air Pollution and even Obesity. 

Symptoms of Asthma Include:

   a persistent cough, especially at night

   chest tightness, making it difficult to breathe deeply

   wheezing when exhaling and sometimes when inhaling

   shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, sometimes even when resting

Some people will have worse symptoms when they have a cold or during changes in the weather. Other triggers can include dust, smoke, fumes, grass and tree pollen, animal fur and feathers, strong soaps and perfume.

Natural Alternative Treatment for Asthma

We recommend that you do a Liver, Kidney and Gallbladder detox at least once a year.  For children with asthma, eczema or psoriasis the LivR Drops should be sufficient and can be used on a daily basis.

Bronchi Drops is a unique combination of herbs such as thyme, lobelia, cayenne, boneset, Echinacea and others to alleviate lung conditions and strengthen the lungs.

  Thins Mucous

  Decongests and Expels.

  Antibacterial, Antiviral and Immune Boosting

  Relaxes Smooth Muscle allowing for easier breathing

  Alleviates Inflammation

MSM Magnesium Liquid contains natural occurring minerals to help with absorption.  Magnesium is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the bronchial muscles and expands the airways, allowing more air to flow in and out of the lungs. This can relieve symptoms of asthma, such as shortness of breath.  MSM may help reduce allergy-related symptoms — including coughing, shortness of breath, congestion, sneezing and fatigue — by reducing inflammation.

AirNieu Chest Spray has a magnesium base and contains herbal oils that reduce inflammation, open the airways and relaxes smooth muscle. AirNieu Spray is excellent for any lung conditions, congestion or shortness of breath.

Imune Capsules have been formulated to use on a daily basis to strengthen the immune system and prevent recurring infections. Used by both old and young effectively. With herbs like Olive Leaf, Lapacho, and Sutherlandia to boost the immune system, reduce inflammation and infection. Quercetin, Vitamin C and zinc  has powerful antioxidant properties.

Babies with Eczema Have A Higher Chance of Developing Asthma Later On.  As a naturopath this and the fact that you can “outgrow” Asthma is an important indicator to the liver.
