Allergic Bronchial Asthma Naturist Treatment

Treating asthma naturally


Asthma Treatment offers several options, however the most enthusastic treatment discussions revlove around or creates interests when the discussions move towards dealing with the disease in a natural way or more specifically when dealing with asthma when its realted to an Allergic Bronchial Asthma Naturist Treatment. The difference is, the method and medication used to treat asthma.


The whole thought behind controlling and treating asthma naturally is the ability to assist the body's natural defences to encourage daily activities and nature to work together to fight any allergies that could possible cause an asthma attack; in doing so, you strenghten your body to fight asthma in an a naturistic way. Working on breathing techniques such as; buteyko, pranayam, or yoga is one method for treating the bronchial side of an asthma attack and it can be an effective form of "asthma treatment". Although this is only effective if used as a way to help prevent asthma attacks it most likely will not work if the person is in a full blown asthma attack. However, using these breathing techniques will assit the asthmatic until they can access vital asthma medications that they find effective when suffering an asthma attack. Whether the medications is in the form of a Naturist Treatment or whether it is a doctor prescribed medication such as advair, abuterhol or some other form of asthma medication to help controll asthma attacks or help prevent asthma attacks from reaching a full blown asthma attack that would eventually lead to a stay in the hospital.

To examine "Allergic Bronchial Asthma Naturist Treatment" we should break down the meaning of each word to get a better understanding of exactly what information we wish to attain by looking for a "natural treatment" of asthma.

To begin to break down the phrase we need to look at the aspect of Allergic. Allergic per the websters dictionary derives from allergy which further defines itself as abnormal or pathological reaction to envirmental substances such as dust, pollens, foods or microrganisims.

Second ,we need to define Bronchial, per the websters dictionary it is a chronic or acute inflamination of the bronchi. In which case, Bronchi is the large tubes leading from the trachea to the lungs. Here we can see that "accute inflamnination" of any tube leading to the lungs will cause difficulty breathing. Now that we know what the bronchial part is of Allergic Bronchial Asthma Naturist Treatment, we should look at the "Naturist" aspect of the term. I skipped over the "Asthma" portion becuase I assumed you know what the definition of asthma is. If you don't, do not fret that can be found under my "Asthma History" post.

Now, back to looking at the Naturist portion of bronchial asthma naturist treatment. To revisit websters dictionary Naturist is just another word for Naturalist. Decifering naturalist per the webesters dictionary it is defined as one who studies natural history or advocates naturalisim.
So, to get the best idea for treating asthma in a natural way we need to understand the history behind asthma and the history of the specific asthmatic to actually begin to either start asthma treatment or to help prevent asthma attacks.

We don't have any regular herbs or spices to treat asthma. Yet, we can look at what triggers asthma attacks. Looking at the triggers and specific ways to monitor your breathing activites is the best method for treating a persons asthma.

In the end the best explanation of "allergic bronchial asthma naturist treatment' is the ability to see what the person is allergic to? What is it in their natural enviroment caused their airways (bronchial) to swell and become irratated and what was the affect on the asthma. Additionally, figuring out these factors is there a way to naturally avoid these triggers to help the individuals asthma treatment in a natural way without constantly use asthma medications to treat asthma.

Asthma Diagnosis

An Asthma Diagnosis Preview


How I would Diagnose Asthma



Diagnosing asthma is usually pretty easy. However, for a proper Asthma diagnosis an individual should seek attention from their physician. There are some main symptoms associated with an Asthma Diagnosis. Some of these symptoms are: continued wheezing, coughing, trouble breathing, and chest tightness. These symptoms if present can often become worse at night. Additionally, some triggers of Asthma can be cold air, exercise or exposure to allergens such as pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites or similar allergen triggers. All of which people dealing with asthma or asthma patients should be concerned with when addressing asthma treatment.

A part of the
Asthma diagnosis is seeing if the patient is wheezing, this can be identified when a slight whistling sound is heard when a person breathes in and out. Wheezing can be heard slightly with a stethoscope by placing the scope on the back and chest. One of the first tools a used to diagnosis asthma is the doctors’ stethoscope; this tool can help detect wheezing which may not be obvious to the patient or family or friends.

Wheezing that is inherently heard out loud is usually obvious by a louder whistling sound when the person inhales and exhales. The person with the problem wheezing usually has noticeable problem breathing. The doctor will quickly recognize this when trying to diagnosis asthma. A interesting observation from my doctor was he said patients usually has become so accustomed to the difficulty breathing that it is a part of their daily lifestyle. I know this is true for me and often don’t realize when I am wheezing.

Due to patients not noticing how difficult their breathing has become, the doctor attempting to diagnosing asthma will usually ask someone close to the person if they notice the patient having difficulty breathing.

If you have been around a smoker, the wheezing and trouble breathing from a person suffering from a mild asthma attack can easily be compared to anyone that has been around a long term smoker. Wheezing is not only common to people with Asthma it is also a temporary problem for people suffering from bronchitis. Coughing as a symptom of Asthma most likely is a prelude to asthma attack and is only one of many symptoms to occur. Although coughing could be as simple as a tickle in an individuals throat it could be the beginning of something worse for an asthmatic.

An example of a trigger for coughing could result from exercising or being involved in a similar strenuous activity. The asthmatic could start to partially cough, then continue to cough harder. Most likely the next symptom of the beginning of an Asthma attack will be trouble breathing; this is usually after their coughing spell has subsided. If this experience is observed it will be beneficial to share with the doctor trying to Diagnosis Asthma. My experience is trouble breathing with slight wheezing is an excellent indicator that an asthma attack is about to occur.

Trouble breathing as related to asthma is usually caused by the combination of allergies, physical exertion or something irritating the individuals normal breathing pattern. If there has been coughing, wheezing followed by trouble breathing chance are person is likely on the verge of a full fledged asthma attack. Chest tightness and shortness of breath with the combination of wheezing is a prelude to the asthma attack. This is why it is is important to seek some form of
asthma testing.

Although the following isn’t an “asthma diagnosis” it is still important to recognize what a possible attack is in the event you need to describe what you witnessed if a diagnosis needs to be made. Once the asthma attack is at the height of its final stage the individual will not be able to take a full breath and most likely rapid breathing begins in the hope they can be able to breathe normally. However, rapid breathing is a part of the problem and the person should try to prevent rapid breathing, this only cause’s tightness of the chest and some panicking, a partially panicked person can not get their breath. The problem with rapid breathing is the person having the attack is not taking in enough air to keep oxygen in the blood. This also can lead to dry land drowning as is with toxic chemical exposures. Although this is my version and experience of an Asthma attack it is still up to the doctor to accurately decide if he is correct in an
asthma diagnosis.
