Homeopathy is a natural system of medicines that utilizes minute doses of well-researched remedies to enhance the body’s natural healing process. Homeopathic treatment for Asthma treats the patient as a whole and not only reduces severity of the attack but helps to prevent further attacks.

• Homeopathic treatment for Asthma believes in prescribing for the individual in disease rather than for the disease in individual. The complete physical, mental and emotional make-up is considered while making a prescription.
• Homeopathic treatment for Asthma targets the immune system and modifies the hypersensitive response of the lungs so that breathlessness and excess mucous discharge does not occur. This not only reduces severity of the attack but helps to prevent further attacks.
