One of the most worrying global health trends in recent years is the number of asthma sufferers; it wasn't that long ago that asthma only affected a small percentage of the population. Although it is treatable, asthma is still a chronic condition which affects the function of breathing of every person who is affected by it. This is a respiratory condition that when not treated properly can easily result in death, if the attack is not attended to in time or is severe.

By carefully monitoring the condition there are ways to reduce the risks of attacks which is the daily responsibility of the asthma sufferer. The severity and frequency of attacks will determine the course of treatment and these fit into three broad categories:

*Preventing attacks from occurring

*Treating minor attacks

*Emergency treatment for serious attacks

For short term relief for all patients Bronchodilators are recommended but those with occasional mild attacks need no other medication; this form of medication is the one that many asthmatics will only ever need.

Patients with mild but frequent attacks have other medication available to them like a leukotriene modifier or a mastcell stabilizer. Additional medication is required, as the seriousness of the asthma condition increases. Whatever the level of severity they experience all sufferers have a traditional reliever to aid them. The asthmatics condition by careful monitoring should not be difficult to identify exactly what it is that is an attack trigger. This means that attacks can be avoided if not eliminated altogether. Medical science has now confirmed that the poorer the air quality increases the odds of this and other related respiratory problems occurring.

Although the specific medications can help the situation it is far better if they can be avoided where possible; prescription drugs may also cause serious side effects such as:

*Feelings of constant tiredness

*Dizziness

*Impotence

*Depression

*Damage to the liver and sometimes other organs

More and more patients who suffer with a respiratory condition are choosing natural medicines that address the root cause, over pharmaceutical drugs that trick the body's immune response system. Every attack weakens the body's system a little as it becomes hyperactive where the task of the catalyst in medication is to calm and soothe this hyperactive system. Natural medications provide natural organic catalysts to the body that restore balance in the system and thereby eliminate all the symptoms without any side effects.

Pranayam, buteyko and yoga practices breathing techniques have been found helpful to those suffering from asthma as they naturally help the general well-being and breathing of patients. Nutritional supplements and good diet will help improve the immune response and the overall health of the patients. A good nutritional diet will also help improve the immune system but the importance should not be underestimated of the asthma patient managing their own condition.
