To have a disease that affects your ability to breathe can be terrifying.

Asthma is one of those diseases, and it’s incredibly common.

In fact, according to Statistics Canada, roughly 2.4 million Canadians are faced with this disease.

Fortunately, there are naturopathic solutions to help you manage your asthma.

What Is Asthma?

Asthma is a condition where your air passages become inflamed, which causes them to narrow and restrict their ability to move oxygen into your lungs.

This is where the coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and breath shortness that is so commonly associated with asthma comes from, but in more severe cases it can be restricted so much that it impairs the ability to speak.

Asthma can occur at any age, but those under 40 years of age seem to be at higher risk, as do those with a family history of the disease, those with seasonal allergies or eczema, or those who smoke or are frequently exposed to second-hand smoke.

If you have asthma, you’re at risk for a triggered asthma attack, which can be caused by a large number of external stimuli, including:

  • Tobacco smoke
  • Mold spores
  • Pollen
  • Pet dander
  • Dust
  • A cold or flu
  • Cold weather
  • Moments of severe anxiety or stress
  • Exercise

The incidence of asthma has appeared to increase and to worsen over the years, even if it may appear to be more stable recently.

Naturopathic IV Injections For Asthma

If you’re living with asthma, you may benefit from an intravenous treatment.

The use of IV nutrient therapy for asthma began in the late 1980s, soon after the first research results were published involving the administration of magnesium through an IV for the treatment of acute asthma.

Magnesium, via IV infusion, may be beneficial for the treatment of asthma.  Vitamin C, B vitamins and taurine are also useful additions.
