Asthma is a chronic disease affecting the respiratory system. During an asthma attack, bronchial tubes, which bring oxygen to and out of the lungs, tend to get narrower and hence reduce the flow of oxygen coming to the lungs. The airways also become swollen and lined up with mucus. Such symptoms may occur several times in a day or week, or a lot less often. The gravity of the attacks also varies.

Several triggers might be responsible for asthma attacks and the breathlessness which accompanies it. Asthma can also cause chest pain and loss of consciousness. It is a very serious disease that can at times prove to be deadly: while asthma affects 300 million people around the world, asthma attacks are responsible for the death of an estimated 250,000 people yearly.

People with asthma also have to go through its side effects in their everyday life. Sleeplessness is a common experience which can cause daytime fatigue, and can have a negative impact on one’s personal and professional life. The World Health Organization even recognizes that "reduced activity levels" and "school and work absenteeism" are often associated with asthma. Sports will often be more difficult for asthmatic people, which may for instance be a social isolation factor for children.

Even though asthma cannot be definitely cured, doctors have found several ways to relieve and prevent the symptoms, making it possible for everybody that has asthma to stay in shape, exercise and lead a normal life. With the appropriate treatments, there is no reason why anybody that has asthma should not be allowed to enjoy an active life.

Various factors are able to trigger an asthma attack. Some can be very simple things like the humidity and temperature of the air. However, the most usual ones are natural indoor and outdoor allergens, like pollen, spores, house dust mites or cockroaches as well as pollution from cars, tobacco smoke or chemical compounds, like the ones found in perfumes and perfumed products. Medications like aspirin or penicillin as well as certain foods, like milk or peanuts, in the case of food allergies, are also able to trigger asthma. Asthma attack might also occur after exercising.

Your psychological state could also be a contributing factor in triggering an asthmatic attack. Tension, anxiety and emotional stress are all able to trigger it. Many people experiencing an asthmatic attack also worsen their condition by falling prey to panic, an absolutely normal response to the scary experience they must endure.

In order to better control asthmatic attacks, all of those triggers should be avoided as much as possible. Allergies also play an important role in the triggering of asthma attacks and allergy treatment can be taken in order to prevent them. There are however numerous sorts of asthma treatment. In the short-run, asthma attack treatment will provide relief in case of an asthmatic attack. Asthma attack treatment is able to quickly provide asthma relief, however people having mild to severe asthma must take a long-run asthma treatment.

There are several sorts of bronchial asthma treatment available out there; however some might not work out for you. Bronchial asthma treatments as well as allergy treatment also have a lot of side effects when taken regularly and in the long run, particularly drugs containing corticosteroids or Beta2-adrenergic receptor agonists, with the latter having cardiac side effects and increasing the risk of respiratory death. These issues might explain why roughly half of asthmatic people use some type of alternative treatment, like natural asthma treatment.

Even though almost no evidence shows the efficiency of therapies like air ionizers or chiropractic, other sorts of natural asthma treatments like homeopathy, yoga practices and hypnosis have shown notable results as asthma treatment. Hypnotherapy, just like yoga or meditation, but in a much easier and faster fashion, provides asthma relief because it can help control the psychological side of asthma thanks to relaxation. With hypnotherapy you will become a lot more relaxed, which can help prevent asthmatic attacks. It will also allow you to better control the panic and fear during an attack, hence greatly reducing the symptoms. Most asthmatics are aware when an attack is imminent and specific hypnosis techniques exist which enable the asthmatic to put a stop to an impending attack.

Asthma is a grave respiratory condition, which can prove really handicapping and sometimes even deadly. Drugs can help you with the physical symptoms and might provide prompt relief in case of an attack. However these drugs have a lot of undesirable side effects, particularly when taken too often. Hypnotherapy and NLP will reduce or even eliminate your need for medication. It is also an efficient asthma treatment and asthma attack treatment and may help you reduce asthmatic symptoms.
