Asthma

Asthma (bronchial asthma) is a chronic allergic disease that affects mainly the respiratory tract of a person. A patient suffers from asthma recurrent attacks of breathlessness, which helps to remove the designated agents for this purpose. Asthmatic attacks can be mild, moderate or severe. Usually asthmatics start coughing; they experience difficulty while breathing and the provision of glassy mucus.

Treatment of asthma is carried out in several directions. Medications for treating asthma can be divided into several groups. The first group includes drugs for emergency use in case of attack. They have properties that enhance the bronchi’s and are used as “first aid”. Some people believe that asthma’s treatment should be done only by this medication. But this is a wrong belief – they only facilitate the flow of attack, without eliminating the main causes of the disease. The second group of drugs is intended for the prevention of attacks. They relieve allergic inflammation and are selected individually for each case of the disease, taking into account the characteristics of the patient. These drugs are basic and necessary for each patient.

Treatment of asthma, except for pharmaceuticals, includes spa treatments – special complex of physical therapy and massage. All this is intended to normalize the drainage function of bronchi and proper operation of the endocrine system. Due to the exercise therapy, the patient’s body adapts to physical stress. Through this work the cardiovascular system and breathing process improve, and the immunity to infectious diseases increases. It also optimizes the processes of excitation and inhibition of the central nervous system, strengthens the respiratory muscles. Massage can speed up the treatment of asthma. It improves blood circulation and lymph flow within the body and the body is at the good preparation before a session of physiotherapy.
