Asthma Blend: 30ml

Description

Description:

Asthma is a common long-term condition that can cause coughing, wheezing, chest tightness and breathlessness.

The severity of these symptoms varies from person to person. Asthma can be controlled well in most people most of the time, although some people may have more persistent problems.

Occasionally, asthma symptoms can get gradually or suddenly worse. This is known as an ‘asthma attack’, although doctors sometimes use the term ‘exacerbation’.

Asthma attacks

When asthma symptoms get significantly worse, it is known as an asthma attack or ‘acute asthma exacerbation’.
Asthma attacks often develop slowly, sometimes taking a couple of days or more to become serious, although some people with asthma are prone to sudden, unexpected severe attacks. It is important to recognise attacks early and take appropriate action.

During an asthma attack, the symptoms described above may get worse and – if you’re already on treatment – your inhaler medication may not work as well as it normally does.
You might be monitoring your asthma using a device called a peak flow meter, and there may be a drop in your peak expiratory flow. Read about diagnosing asthma for more information.

Signs of a particularly severe asthma attack can include:

• your reliever inhaler (which is usually blue) is not helping -symptoms as much as usual, or at all
• wheezing, coughing and chest tightness becoming severe and constant
• being too breathless to eat, speak or sleep
• breathing faster
• a rapid heartbeat
• feeling drowsy, exhausted or dizzy
• your lips or fingers turning blue (cyanosis)

Direction for use:

Do not ingest this blend.

The Asthma Blend may be topically applied over the chest and spine (15 drops).

This blend may also be used through inhalation (see below) to relieve the symptoms of asthma.

It is safe to use on children over 5 years old.
