Air is what gives us life. You reach for your inhaler, and squeeze as the mist shoots into your lungs… relief…
But is there a more natural way? Is there something that can help prevent the onset of asthma attacks to start with?
Bronchial asthma is a disorder that causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing.
It can vary from unpleasant to life threatening.
Asthma can be brought on by animals, dust, chemicals, exercise, mold, pollen, common colds, stress and smoke. It is difficult to avoid all of these triggers. Even aspirin can provoke an attack in some patients.
An attack can last from a few minutes to a few days, and can be very dangerous if the airflow is restricted.
Inhalers are made with anti-inflammatory steroids, which help control asthma leading to fewer symptoms and flare-ups and a reduced chance of hospitalization. There is no question that they do help. But they are not without side effects.
On a root level asthma stems from emotion, as do all physical ailments. It is our bodies way of communicating with us that something is wrong. Somehow we as a society have all but stopped listening choosing instead to try and cover it up rather than heal the issue.
Asthma comes from feeling stifled or smothered. Suppressed crying or urge to cry. A feeling of inability to breathe for ones self. A mantra (saying) to assist in releasing that emotion is “It is safe now for me to take charge of my own life. I choose to be free.” Breathe deeply while saying or thinking this out loud or to yourself often.
