Asthma prevents attacks. Long-term control medications often take a week to reach a therapeutic effect and work best when taken every day, consistently.

The majority of patients with asthma will experience asthma attacks from time to time; this is to be expected and can usually be managed or reduced with medication and some lifestyle changes; especially when it comes to exercise or emotionally stressful situations.

Asthma is a condition that requires medical treatment for life. New medications should be tested under the supervision of a primary health care physician who realizes that along with medication the patient also plays a part in treatment through lifestyle modifications that can help improve health. We contact our physician because we have knowledge that with medication, we may reduce long-term lung damage, while we are also being educated about other factors that can help moderate the severity and frequency of our Asthma Treatment.

Physical Activity and Asthma

For people with asthma, it is normal to feel anxious about physical activity. However, depending on the severity of the asthma, activity may be manageable without asthma complications. Precautions may need to be employed if "physical unfitness" is suspected to lead to complications or Asthma Attacks.

One would want to know if their asthma is exercise induced (cold air, allergen, exertion). Even if an attack does occur, it is better to manage it with a bronchodilator and avoidance of allergens or triggers in the environment.

The benefits from exercise and physical activity can outweigh the risks. Nonetheless, it is generally well known that lifestyle factors can reduce the severity and frequency of Asthma Attacks.

 New Treatments and Therapies

Asthma can be supported by new non-medical interventions that we may elect to use with the medication prescribed by a primary physician. We often see people who have allergic reactions, as if there was unnoticeable accumulation of exposure to allergens or irritants that result in symptoms/signs.

The same consideration for people with asthma applies. The medicines are effective to some degree in moderation and lifestyle changes play a role.
Depending on the above combined with your reasons for self admitting with asthma would influence acceptable risk.

For example, if you had physical deconditioning from inactivity, previous to the self admits, it may be likely consider the option of commencing a physical activity to improve conditioning and build aerobic endurance into functional tasks that involve activity. You may choose for yourself to limit the duration and intensity of the activity, selecting activities of low moderate intensity that may help maintain symptom control. You would be doing so with full knowledge of risks that may lead to endogenous amplifiers via prolonged physical activity with an asthmatic response. In any situation, you would still be managing your asthma, as you were provided the knowledge of what to expect and employed lifestyle strategies to better manage.

If you are present to self admit due to asthmatic symptoms and decide to participate in the prescribed physical activity program, is also ethically a rite of passage that assumes duty to maintain self be willing to accept that you may have increased exacerbations with corresponding recovery via the right choice for you. It may need to re-evaluate the behaviours you think need to maintain at the start that may distress you regarding your asthma behaviours and exhibit a more balanced approach to symptom management and physical activity for health.

 Traditional Asthma Treatment Options

Most traditional Asthma Treatment options fall into two major categories, quick-relief (or rescue) medications and long-term control medications.

• Quick-relief inhalers (bronchodilators): As the name implies, quick-relief inhalers are used during an asthma attack and provide relatively instant relief by widening the airways, however, that effect only lasts for a small period of time.
• Long-term control medications (corticosteroids): Long-term control medications, are used daily in lower doses, to minimize inflammation and occurrence of symptoms.

These treatments can be very effective but often leave patients who rely on those medications worried about side effects, especially long-term steroid use, and pursuing more gentle and sustainable solutions.

Homeopathy: A Gentler, Effective Treatment for Asthma

Homeopathy is a natural, non-invasive option for asthma patients and works on the premise of stimulating the body's natural response to healing. Furthermore, homeopathy looks to address the cause of a trigger and is not simply a treatment to mask the symptoms, thus allowing for long-term relief.
