Homeopathy is the system of medicine that tries to ‘cure’ this disease, instead of trying to provide symptomatic relief. While dealing with a case of asthma, a homeopath not only records the symptoms of the disease but also studies the medical history, family history, and physical and psychological characteristics of a person. This helps to find the cause, the precipitating factors, the hereditary tendency, or whether is there a history of suppression of skin disease. Homeopaths believe that when there is a tendency or predisposition for a disease – it first manifests in the less vital organs, towards the periphery (like skin). If this manifestation is suppressed then the disease shifts inwards, towards the more vital organs (like lungs, heart, brain, etc).

Once the symptoms are ascertained the selection of the suitable homeopathic medicine is. In almost 80% of cases, asthma patient gets relief from their acute distress phase & they are saved from the side effects of strong medications & steroids.

It is sometimes observed that when the right homeopathic medicine is given, asthma disappears but old eczema (if it was there originally) reappears for some time, before finally disappearing itself. This reappearance of old symptoms is seen as a reversal of the disease process and is considered a very good prognostic sign by homeopaths.

Some of the wonder Homeopathic medicines like Arsenic alb, Spongia, Natrum sulph, Antim tart & many more bring relief in many cases of asthma but it is the finesse of an experienced homeopath who with their experience is able to arrive at the right medicine & give relief to the patient.
