A Lady from Haveri Karnataka’s Journey to an Asthma Free Life

One of our patients referred Mrs P H (Patient ID: 54796) to the Malleswaram Clinic of Life Force Homeopathy in Bangalore for asthma treatment. For years, she has complained of exertional dyspnea, nose block, dry cough, and wheezing. About two or three times a week, she would experience an asthma attack. During the rainy season, the episodes were more severe. Additionally, the patient occasionally complained of exertional dyspnea. She had an allergy to perfumes and strong scents. Had frequent episodes of sneezing, especially during the winter, and was exposed to dust and food seasoning. During severe episodes, the patient was taking Budesonide respules and T. A. Zec (Azithromycin).

Bronchial asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways in the lungs, which makes breathing difficult. It occurs when the airways become sensitive to various triggers, such as allergens (pollen, dust, pet dander), respiratory infections, cold air, exercise, or smoke.

Physical Generals:

The patient was a vegetarian who liked spicy food. She was ambithermal. She has sound sleep and a good appetite.

Family history and background:

Mrs P.H. is a homemaker, and her husband is running a business in Haveri district, Karnataka, and has a son who is studying in school.

Mental generals:

She is a content person who leads a happy life. She was polite by nature and non-communicative. She is precise in her talk and clever by nature.

After studying her detailed case history, she was prescribed constitutional medicines along with researched base molecules by Dr. Shah.

Homeopathy is a complementary or alternative medical system that treats individuals with highly diluted substances, which are believed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. The approach to treating bronchial asthma with homeopathy involves addressing both the symptoms and the underlying emotional or psychological factors contributing to the condition. Homeopaths believe that each person is unique, and thus treatment should be tailored to their specific emotional, mental, and physical state.

Follow-ups:

When the patient was called for the first follow-up in August 2024, her breathlessness was much better with no wheezing, and no exertional dyspnea was present. She complained of an occasional dry cough. Her complaints of sneezing, runny nose, and nose blockage were under control.

By 13th October 2024, her complaints had increased a bit. A dry cough had started and was persistent. She also complained of exertional dyspnea and wheezing; however, the intensity of the complaints was not as severe as before, and she had not used any allopathic medicines. As per the case, the medicines were revised.

By 9th January 2025, the patient was completely better, with no running nose, sneezing, dry cough, breathlessness, or wheezing. It was almost more than 4 months since she stopped taking allopathic medicines and was only on homeopathy.

The patient thanked Dr. Shah and the entire team.

Conclusion:

The goal of homeopathic treatment for bronchial asthma is to address the underlying sensitivities that cause the condition as well as its symptoms. Homeopathic remedies can be used in conjunction with conventional medicines to help manage symptoms by lowering the frequency and intensity of symptoms, supporting lung health, and addressing the underlying causes of allergic reactions without causing any adverse side effects.
