    Extractions: Home Lung Disease Asthma Asthma is a lung disease that makes breathing difficult for millions of Americans, both young and old. There is no cure for asthma, but the good news is it can be managed and treated so you can live a normal, healthy life. The Lung Association has been leading the fight against asthma for many years, through research, education and advocacy. Learning more about the disease is the first step in helping children and adults with asthma breathe easier. How asthma-friendly is your school? Students with asthma miss more than 14 million lost school days every year due to illness. But there are things that you can do to help make sure that children with asthma stay healthy, in school and ready to learn. We advocate for policy change on behalf of children and adults with asthma at the federal, state, and local levels.

    Extractions: GO to the Welcome Page Now Asthma can cause symptoms which vary from a cough to wheezing or shortness of breath. Some patients will have tightness in the chest, and other patients have no symptoms at all. Asthma can also be induced by exercise, but is also very treatable. If you have exercise induced asthma, you are in good company. 15-20% of Olympic athletes also have exercise induced asthma! Asthma occurs as a result of constriction of the airways in the lungs. Constriction typically occurs as a result of inflammation, and now the focus of treatment of asthma is to reduce the amount of inflammation in the lungs. This represents a dramatic change in the past several years - it used to be that we would just focus on trying to open the lungs, rather than treating the cause. Inflammation can occur as a result of exposure to irritants such as tobacco smoke, pollution, ozone, infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses, and also allergens such as dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, feathers, wool, dust, pollens, cockroaches and foods. Sinusitis can also worsen asthma. Workplace exposures can also be a problem and so can the cold weather and cold water. Most people are surprised to learn that 80% or 90% of patients with asthma have what is called "extrinsic" asthma. In other words, it is typically made worse as a result of exposure to things they are

Center for Integrative Medicine Physicians and Staff Asthma is a chronic disease that involves inflammation of the lungs. Airways swell and restrict airflow in and out of the lungs, making it hard to breathe. The word asthma comes from the Greek word for "panting." People with asthma pant and wheeze because of the restricted flow of air. Normally, when you breathe in an irritant or are you experience a stressful activity such as exercise, your airways relax and open. This allows the lungs to get rid of irritants or take in more air. But with asthma, muscles in the airways tighten, and the lining of the air passages swells. About 20 million Americans have asthma, including 9 million children. In fact, asthma is the most common chronic childhood illness. About half of all cases develop before the age of 10, and many children with asthma also have allergies.

    Extractions: Medical information for patients index search health books site map Asthma is inflammation of the tubes of the lungs which causes them to be obstructed, and therefore air passes though them less easily. The main symptoms are: The cells in the lungs react to various irritants such as: This causes the tubes in the lungs to narrow which results in difficulty breathing. Asthma frequently runs in families and is closely associated with hayfever and eczema . Sometimes other members of the family will have asthma, hayfever, or eczema, or combinations of these. It is essentially caused by an allergic type of reaction of the immune system. Sometimes the irritants which set off the reaction are not strictly allergens but chemical irritants eg smoke, some fumes.

What Causes Asthma? Asthma is a disease affecting the airways that carry air to and from your lungs. People who suffer from this chronic condition (long-lasting or recurrent) are said to be asthmatic. The inside walls of an asthmatic's airways are swollen or inflamed. This swelling or inflammation makes the airways extremely sensitive to irritations and increases your susceptibility to an allergic reaction. As inflammation causes the airways to become narrower, less air can pass through them, both to and from the lungs. Symptoms of the narrowing include wheezing (a hissing sound while breathing), chest tightness, breathing problems, and coughing. Asthmatics usually experience these symptoms most frequently during the night and the early morning. For information on the different causes of asthma (allergy, colds, stress, exercise, etc) please see page 4 (

See Also: More Information Advertisement Asthma symptoms start when allergens or other irritants cause the lining of the airways to swell (become inflamed) and narrow. The muscles around the airways can then spasm, (contract rapidly), causing the airways to narrow even more. When the lining of the airways is inflamed, it produces more mucus. The mucus clogs the airways and further blocks the flow of air. This is called an "asthma attack."

    Extractions: Back to top UNDERSTANDING ASTHMA You've noticed that your five-year-old always seems to have coughing fits and some shortness of breath while playing on the playground. None of the other children seem to do this. Your 18-month-old seems to wheeze frequently at night and wakes up with coughing fits, but everything seems fine during the day. Every time your two-year-old catches a cold, it turns into several days of wheezing that sometimes requires a visit to the doctor's office. Your ten-year-old occasionally complains of tight chest and difficulty breathing, and can't tolerate active sports as well as the other kids. These are all common situations that fall under the broad category of asthma. Not all of these situations are actually labeled as asthma, but they do warrant evaluation by a physician. This discussion will help you identify if your child may have a form of asthma and how it is best treated and prevented. The first step in learning about asthma is to understand what asthma is, how it affects the lungs, what the major symptoms are, and what the different types are.

58. About Relieving Childhood Asthma With The Bowen Technique
    Information about a technique to lessen attacks, and deal with an emergency.  
    http://www.relieve-childhood-asthma.com
    
    Extractions: The Bowen Technique is a gentle, light-touch therapy developed by Australian Thomas Ambrose Bowen in the 1960's and 1970's. Originally intended to help people suffering from muscular-skeletal problems, it has been shown to helpwith many other conditions as well. In particular it has proved to help, on many occasions, both adults and children suffering from asthma and other respiratory ailments, sometimes with dramatic results. As Bowen is both very gentle and non-invasive, there is no danger in using it with asthma and other respiratory conditions. The many cases treated have shown often to produce results very quickly which last. Treatment usually does not need to be continuous, and often just a very few sessions will change the situation for the sufferer. As with any allergy, the avoidance of contact with the allergen is an essential part of the treatment. However, what Bowen does seem to achieve very often is the release of tightness in the chest which aids both asthmatics and other respiratory sufferers.
