Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.

Its typically caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particular matter, most often from cigarette smoke.

People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer, and a variety of other conditions.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD

Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the air sacs(alveoli)of the lungs. It’s characterized by daily cough and mucus (sputum) production.
Emphysema is a condition in which the alveoli at the end of the smallest air passages (bronchioles) of the lungs are destroyed as a result of damaging exposure to cigarette smoke and other irritating gases and particulate matter.

Although COPD is a progressive disease that gets worse over time, COPD is treatable with proper management.

Shortness of breath
Wheezing
Chest tightness

Causes :

The main cause of COPD in developed countries is tobacco smoking. Exposure to fumes from burning fuel for cooking and heating in poorly ventilated homes.

Risk Factors :

Exposure to tobacco smoke
People with asthma
Occupational exposure to dust and chemicals

Homoeopathic Invention :

Statements by physicians such as the cancer are malignant, inoperable, aggressive, invasive

Homoeopathic Approach :
