Asthma & Respiratory Allergies

Asthma and respiratory allergies cause breathing difficulties due to airway inflammation or allergic reactions, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Asthma and Breathing Allergies

Asthma and respiratory allergies are conditions that affect the airways, causing inflammation and making it difficult to breathe. Common triggers include allergens like pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, and environmental factors such as pollution or cold air. These conditions can vary in severity, with symptoms ranging from mild coughing and wheezing to severe shortness of breath and chest tightness.

Asthma is a chronic condition where the airways become inflamed and narrow, often in response to specific triggers. Respiratory allergies, on the other hand, occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances, causing similar symptoms. Both conditions can lead to flare-ups or attacks, especially if left unmanaged.

While asthma and respiratory allergies can be challenging, they are manageable with proper care. Treatments include avoiding triggers, using medications like inhalers or antihistamines, and following prescribed action plans. With the right approach, individuals can lead healthy, active lives while keeping symptoms under control.

Managing Asthma and Airway Allergies

Ayurveda is an intricate system of healing that originated in India thousands of years ago. We can find historical evidence of Ayurveda in the ancient books of wisdom known as the Vedas. In the Rig Veda, over 60 preparations were mentioned that could be used to assist an individual in overcoming various ailments. The Rig Veda was written over 6,000 years ago, but really Ayurveda has been around even longer than that. What we see is that Ayurveda is more than just a medical system. It is a Science of Life. We are all part and parcel of nature.

Just as the animals and plants live in harmony with nature and utilize the Laws of Nature to create health and balance within their beings, we, too, adhere to these very same principles. Therefore, it is fair to say Ayurveda system helps to maintain health in a person by using the inherent principles of nature to bring the individual back into equilibrium with their true self. In essence Ayurveda has been in existence since the beginning of time because we have always been governed by nature’s law.
