Respiratory issues and pollution: What does homeopathy suggests?

With thick smog blankets engulfing the air across most of the country, times can be especially hard for people with asthma or other respiratory issues. While many turns to mainstream medicine, homeopathic advice and treatments help as well. Also Read - Heavy smog can give you respiratory problems: Tips to protect yourself from air pollution

According to Dr. Kushal Banerjee, a Delhi-based Consultant Homeopath, there’s substantial evidence linking air pollution and respiratory illnesses including bronchial asthma, other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), and a long list of conditions.

Prolonged exposure to air pollution can permanently affect the lungs

Exposure to outdoor air pollution can cause lung cancer. Children affected by air pollution may also suffer from abnormal development of their lungs, putting them at high risk for many respiratory conditions. Also Read - Natural antioxidants that can help your body deal with air pollution

Stressing on the effects of air pollution on the lungs, Dr. Banerjee said that air pollution, particularly small particulate matter can penetrate deep into lung tissue and trigger repeated inflammatory reactions and a cascade of other changes leading to lung injury. Prolonged exposure to air pollution can permanently affect the lungs’ ability to expand, efficiently exchange gases,, and push oxygenated blood to the heart. Structural changes in the tissues can open up abnormal cellular mechanisms which can lead to cancers and other conditions.

Homeopathy and respiratory issues

Suggesting that homeopathy can address most respiratory issues arising from air pollution, he adds: “In addition to providing relief in the short term for acute episodes of bronchial asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, and various other issues, homeopathy is very well suited at addressing the tendency and preventing these episodes from occurring. Patients are often surprised at how quickly homeopathic medicines can control asthmatic episodes and bad bouts of cough. Prolonged homeopathic treatment can bring the frequency and intensity of these illnesses. In many cases, even homeopathic medicines are withdrawn when the patients report no recurrence of episodes of their problem.”

Take a note of the symptoms and consult with a doctor

As per Dr. Jawahar Shah, Managing Director, Speciality Clinic, homeopathy has 423 different medicines for the treatment of Bronchial Asthma which work on very precise indications, improves immunity, and decreases the sensitivity to allergens. Discussing some key practical behavioural changes to incorporate in lifestyle, he suggests regular pranayam, not going for walks on the roads, inhaling steam, and gargling with salt-turmeric-water. He advises that if symptoms do not seem to ease within 6-8 hours, one should contact their family physician.

Avoiding the outdoors during increased air pollution can be helpful

Dr. Banerjee also added that the last eight months or so have inculcated the habit of wearing masks around the globe. Many of these masks, particularly those categorised as N95 are known to protect the wearer from inhaling most particulate matter which makes up the pollutants in the air. Avoiding the outdoors during days of extremely low air quality and avoiding vigorous exertion (particularly outdoors) during increased air pollution is helpful.

Lead a healthy and disciplined life. This includes consuming a well-balanced nutritious diet consisting of ample portions of green vegetables and fruits. Fixing mealtimes and going to bed early is also important. These activities keep your body relaxed and running smoothly. As a result, the immune system is not stressed and primed to effectively protect you against irritants to the body.

Also, try to reduce your own contribution to air pollution

Most importantly, try to reduce your own contribution to air pollution. Walk where you can, do not allow or condone the burning of trash or leaves near you, celebrate festivals responsibly, plant trees, and avoid cutting them. There so many more common-sense options that can go a long way in curbing air pollution.

Is air pollution killing you? Here are 5 effective ways to stay safe

As air pollution engulfs various states across the nation, the quality of the air you are proving your lungs with is degrading. Here are some of the precautionary that you should take.

  • Use good quality masks when outdoor
  • Stay hydrated and have a good diet
  • Avoid smoking
  • Take steam every day

Also, do mention in the comments section below how you are keeping yourself safe amid the rise in pollution.
