Asthma can greatly interfere with the quality of a person’s life. Symptoms of asthma can prevent you from doing many daily activities like exercise, work, and playing with the kids. The symptoms of asthma may come and go for many reasons. Some people have asthma attacks and need prompt treatment. Others have relatively minor symptoms but have to live on guard too often. Asthma symptoms can be triggered by cold weather, exercise, and stress of any kind. However, the treatment of asthma must address the deeper causes and not just the factors associated with attacks or episodes.
Asthma is becoming more and more common today for many reasons. The quality of the air we breath is lower than the quality of air our ancestors evolved with. The amount of toxins in the environment is greater than ever in the past. Our individual abilities to detoxify are not as strong as they once were because of the increased stress on our organs of detoxification.
Unfortunately, the conventional treatments for asthma have not really changed to address the underlying causes of Asthma. Instead, these treatments focus on steroid and anti-inflammatory medication (puffers).
The Natural treatment of asthma is centered around identifying the causes/triggers of the asthma symptoms, removing or mitigating those causes, and providing the lungs and organs of elimination with the support they need to function optimally. Dr. Barlow’s approach to treating asthma varies from patient to patient depending on each person’s individual characteristics and the triggers.
