Asthma is a long-term condition that affects the airways—the small breathing tubes in your lungs. In asthma, these airways can become inflamed or narrow, making it harder to breathe. For some people, it’s a daily challenge; for others, it comes and goes. But however it shows up, asthma can affect your comfort, energy, sleep, and peace of mind.

At SSR Homeopathy, we believe asthma is not just a lung condition—it’s a personal experience. Our focus is on gentle support that helps you breathe easier, feel more balanced, and live your life more fully.

What Triggers Asthma?

Asthma symptoms often appear when certain things—called triggers—bother your airways. Everyone’s triggers are different, but here are the most common:

• 🌫️ Dust, Smoke, and Pollution: Airborne irritants like dust mites, car fumes, cigarette smoke, or strong chemical smells can cause flare-ups, especially in sensitive lungs.
• 🌬️ Cold Air & Weather Changes: Sudden drops in temperature or dry winter air can tighten the chest and lead to coughing or wheezing.
• 🏃 Exercise or Physical Activity: Physical movement can trigger symptoms, especially if breathing is already strained or the air is cold or dry.
• 🌼 Allergens: Pollen, pet dander, mold, or dust can set off allergic asthma. Even a small exposure can cause hours of discomfort.
• 🤧 Respiratory Infections: A cold, sore throat, or chest infection can worsen asthma, especially in children or people with weaker immunity.
• 😥 Stress & Emotions: Intense emotions like anxiety or panic can lead to shallow, tight breathing. Some people even get attacks from emotional stress alone.

Types of Asthma

• 👶 Congenital or Childhood Asthma: This starts from birth or early childhood. Some grow out of it, others manage it into adulthood.
• 🧠 Allergic Asthma: Triggered by allergens like pollen or dust, this type is closely tied to environmental exposure.
• 🏃 Exercise-Induced Asthma: Only occurs or worsens during physical activity, especially in cold or dry air.
• 🏙️ Environmental Asthma: Common in polluted cities or dusty workplaces. Regular exposure worsens symptoms over time.
• 😞 Stress-Triggered Asthma: Emotional tension or panic can bring on asthma episodes, even without physical triggers.

How Asthma Feels – Day to Day

The Emotional Side of Asthma
