Homeopathy Treatment for Asthma
Asthma is an inflammatory disease in the airways that are connected to the lungs. It causes difficulty in breathing due to the overproduction of mucus in the airways resulting in more coughing.
Swollen airways and inflammation cause mucus to build, which makes a whistling sound while breathing accompanied by shortness of breath. Although asthma can not be cured permanently, its symptoms can be managed with proper medications.

What Are the Types of Asthma?
Types and causes of asthma are dependent on the symptoms produced by asthma in different ways and situations. There is a broad categorization of asthma that includes:
- Intermittent: This type of asthma is not consistent and symptoms can come and go with long normal duration in between the two asthma attacks.
- Persistent: This is the consistent type of asthma with symptoms permanently showing up. These symptoms can vary from mild, to moderate, or severe. Its severity is based on how frequently one is having symptoms and the severity of symptoms. How a person suffering from asthma feels during the attacks determines the severity of asthma as well.
Causes of Asthma
Asthma is found to have multiple causes in a person. Children are more prone to having asthma attacks as their airways are still under development. Asthma does not show its symptoms until adulthood. Of the several causes of asthma, some of the most commonly found causes of asthma are:
Genes are likely to transfer asthma from parents to a child. If a person has a family history related to asthma there is an increased risk of getting asthma for that person as well.
Children who have a history of falling sick with coughing or bronchitis or other diseases such as respiratory syncytial virus infection (RSV) are at a higher risk of developing asthma as they grow up to be an adult.
This theory states that babies after birth need to be exposed to some viruses and bacteria, for them to grow a strong immune system. Those babies who do not have exposure to any such thing as coughing or sneezing or cold, their immune systems are said not to be strong enough to fight off asthma and other allergic conditions.
Apart from all of these, other factors trigger the asthma attack in adults such as:
- Allergic: people who are allergic to different types of inhalation. They can be allergic to moulds, pollens, and pet hair. These fine particles get into the airways and irritate the airways triggering mucus formation and difficulty in breathing. Dust and smoke can also cause asthma attacks in a person allergic to such things.
- Non-allergic: Various other factors can act as triggers for asthma. Heavy work and hard activities such as exercising vigorously, stress, illness, and even weather may cause a person suffering from asthma to have an attack. Weather is known to be a highly triggering factor for some people with asthma.
- Certain medicines: some people’s bodies may be reactant to medicines such as aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. These medicines have been found to trigger asthma in many cases.
Symptoms Involved in Asthma
Some symptoms may vary from person to person. Asthma signs and symptoms may include
- There can be shortness of breath for a person suffering from asthma which is the most common symptom of asthma among patients.

- Due to difficulty in breathing, coughing, or rattling in the chest, there may be trouble sleeping

There are other symptoms that a person suffering from asthma is likely to have. Such symptoms are:
- Coughing that surfaces mostly at night or when a patient is laughing or can have during exercising
- A patient with asthma experiences difficulty in talking as well.
- The person with asthma is seen to be in an anxious or panic state.
- There is fatigue involved in the person suffering from asthma.

Our Patient Testimonials
Dr. Tathed's Homeopathy Autism Case Study
When a 40-year-old male walked into our clinic, he carried a lifelong burden of asthma, characterized by a distressing cycle of breathlessness. His struggle was not just with asthma but with its triggers that came with every weather change – beginning with a runny nose, escalating to a dry cough, and culminating in severe breathlessness. His nights were particularly challenging, and cold beverages only worsened his condition. Despite numerous courses of antibiotics, relief was fleeting, lasting merely for the duration of the medication.
Physical and Family Health Overview
A glimpse into his physical generalities revealed a normal appetite with an intolerance to hunger, significant perspiration especially around the scalp and neck, and a sweet tooth that unfortunately aggravated his symptoms. He was a lover of cooler climes and open spaces but was intolerant to hot weather. A family history showed a mother with migraines and a father who had passed away due to diabetic complications.
Emotional Well-being and Treatment Response
On the mental and emotional spectrum, he was an introvert with a sensitive disposition, often overwhelmed with concern for his family’s future. After a thorough evaluation of his physical symptoms, family history, and mental generals, a tailored homeopathic treatment plan was initiated.
The journey to recovery unfolded positively across several follow-ups:
First Follow-Up: A noticeable improvement in vitality, with a significant reduction in cough, coryza, and breathlessness. The patient reported feeling 70% better overall.
Second Follow-Up: A marked improvement in breathlessness, now 80-90% better. Throat pain was also substantially alleviated, and mornings began on a fresher note.
Third Follow-Up: Despite a mild return of coryza and sneezing, there was no difficulty in breathing. Appetite and sleep quality remained good.
Fourth Follow-Up: A transformation was evident. The patient expressed feeling significantly better, with normal breathing and a drastic reduction in cold and coryza occurrences.
This case is a testament to the holistic healing that homeopathy offers, emphasizing not just the physical ailments but the intricate connection between body, mind, and emotional health. Our patient’s journey from chronic asthma to breathing with ease is a story of resilience and the gentle efficacy of homeopathic medicine.

A 13-year-old boy’s journey with asthma began in his early childhood, amid the bustling environment of Delhi. Diagnosed with asthma at the tender age of five, his young life has been punctuated by the search for effective management of his condition. Despite multiple consultations with various physicians, satisfaction in his treatment remained elusive. His history was further complicated by an episode of pneumonia during his early years in Delhi.
Challenges and Triggers
His asthma was particularly sensitive, with triggers ranging from physical activities like walking, talking, laughing, and cycling, to environmental changes like a shift in weather. The temporary relief from a nebulizer was a frequent necessity during his asthma attacks.
Physical and Emotional Resilience
Physically, his appetite was robust, yet he was unable to bear hunger well. His perspiration was notable for its odor, but his sleep and bowel movements were unremarkable in their regularity. His intolerance to cold weather was a significant concern. Developmentally, he had met his milestones on time, with vaccinations administered as scheduled.
Mentally, he presented as an extroverted and jovial child, comfortably engaging with strangers and thriving in social settings. Despite his fears of dogs, hospitals, and horror films, his spirit remained undiminished. Academically average, he excelled in sports, showcasing a balanced profile of interests and abilities.
Treatment and Remarkable Improvement
After a comprehensive review of his history and personality, a homeopathic regimen was tailored to his unique profile. Progress was tangible and heartening:
First Follow-Up: A 50% improvement was noted. He managed to stay off the pump and other medications, indicating a substantial enhancement in his condition.
Second Follow-Up: His condition continued to improve with medication, although indulgence in ice cream led to a mild resurgence of coryza.
Third Follow-Up: His reliance on the pump reduced significantly, with only two instances of use in three weeks. Breathlessness also showed marked improvement.
Fourth Follow-Up: A complete turnaround was observed. The boy now engages in outdoor sports and cycling with ease, reflecting a significant improvement in his asthma management.
This young individual’s case highlights the potential for homeopathy to bring about significant relief in asthma symptoms, allowing for a return to normalcy and the joys of childhood activities.
At just 4 years old, a young girl faced daunting health challenges, presenting with fever, dry cough, and wheezing—symptoms that intensified in the morning, at night, while lying straight during sleep, and with weather changes. Relief was found in warm drinks. Her condition was traced back to an incident two years prior when a seaside trip resulted in fever and cough, initially managed with allopathic medication. However, a severe recurrence led to a diagnosis of necrotizing pneumonia, confirmed by CT thorax showing significant complications.
Post thoracotomy, her once socially active and fearless nature was overshadowed by new fears, irritability, and a reluctance to engage with new people or the opposite sex. Her inquisitive and emotional personality remained, but her impatience grew.
Dietary Preferences and Physical Attributes
Despite her health issues, her appetite for sweets, chicken, and cold drinks remained, as did her preference for milk and her dislike for tight clothing. She was noted to have scanty perspiration and an aversion to heat.
Progress Through Homeopathic Care
The homeopathic treatment focused on her comprehensive history, and her responses to medications were carefully noted:
First Follow-Up: Improvement in appetite and thirst was noted, though a cold, running nose, and mild fever had set in, coinciding with the start of schooling.
Second Follow-Up: She experienced a fever and nasal obstruction but showed signs of reduced symptoms and maintained normal activities.
Third Follow-Up: Fever persisted with nasal congestion and dry cough, yet her appetite and activity levels were good.
Fourth Follow-Up: A new complaint of mild abdominal pain emerged, but coughing improved significantly.
Fifth Follow-Up: There was a notable overall improvement with only mild coughing, normal activity, good appetite, refreshing sleep, and normal bowel movements.
This case highlights the young patient’s journey through severe respiratory illness, surgical intervention, and the gradual return to health with the support of individualized homeopathic treatment, showcasing a remarkable capacity for recovery in the face of adversity.
