What Is the Definition of Asthma, and How Can It Be Managed? - #15286
I recently learned that a close friend was diagnosed with asthma, and I wanted to understand more about the condition. From what I’ve read, asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes airway inflammation and difficulty breathing, but what exactly triggers an asthma attack? I know that pollen, dust, pet dander, smoke, and cold air can trigger asthma symptoms, but can stress or diet also play a role? Are some people more genetically prone to asthma, or is it something that develops due to environmental factors? I also read that inhalers, bronchodilators, and steroids are commonly prescribed for asthma treatment. But are there any natural alternatives or Ayurvedic treatments that help manage asthma symptoms? I’ve heard that Vasaka, Mulethi, and Sitopaladi Churna are used in Ayurveda for respiratory health—do these actually help? If anyone has asthma, how do you manage your symptoms? Have you found any natural remedies, breathing exercises, or dietary changes that help reduce attacks?
