HEAL WITH HOMEOPATHY

Homoeopathy is the most effective treatment for asthma

    Master Vijay (name changed) came to us with asthma-like symptoms. His parents reported that his symptoms first started when he was four years old. They also said Vijay had had his ‘fill’ of antibiotics, expectorants and steroids, ever since. When we analysed Vijay’s case, we could figure out that his sequence of irritating, dry, rattling, loose cough, seemed to be repeatedly ‘triggered’ by warm, humid weather. He also had a characteristic wheeze. His parents observed that though they could see little phlegm, Vijay’s cough was often accompanied by nosebleed, nausea, vomiting, or ‘coughing up’ of blood, at times. We put him on the homeopathic remedy,
Ipecac, based on his symptoms and response to illness. After undergoing homoeopathic treatment for a year, with regular follow-ups, Vijay is today perceptibly free from his asthma symptoms. He is also no longer dependent on antibiotics, or steroids.
    Childhood asthma is more widespread than most of us think. It also accounts for an estimated 50 lakh doctor visits and 3-4 lakh hospitalisations, each year. The tendency for the disorder is familial; besides, research suggests that it can occur in children even without a family history. In addition, children with airway disease, recurrent flu and allergic bronchitis are more predisposed to asthma, or asthma-like symptoms.
    A study conducted at the University of Glasgow, UK, provided impressive results — over 80% of asthma patients, given a homoeopathic remedy, improved, on all clinical parameters, without side-effects. On the other hand, only 38% of patients given a placebo (dummy pill) experienced an equivalent degree of relief. In studies conducted at our clinics, 93% of patients with asthma felt ‘better’ following homoeopathic treatment.
