Bronchial Asthma

The prevalence of Bronchial Asthma has increased since 1970s affecting 4 to 7% of the people worldwide. In India, asthma is one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Though effective screening, evaluation and management strategies for Asthma are well established in high income countries, these strategies have not been fully implemented in India. Scope of Homoeopathy in managing asthma has been an undermined area of research till date. An entire perspective of the disease and the role played by the conventional and alternative system of treatment with the researches done worldwide in the field is brought forth in this disease monograph on asthma. We have succeeded in attracting the leading experts of both the conventional and the homoeopathic field to write chapters, providing an overview of current epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment with the future developments that are on the horizon. This monograph is a small but important contribution towards better understanding of asthma as a whole and its management presented for the clinicians, researchers, students and the patients.

Sectioned into five parts including Asthma as a perspective; General management, Homoeopathic management, Research updates and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), each part is further subdivided into numerous chapters providing a complete information on the subject. The treasure for any practitioner is his cases well managed with Homoeopathy. "Appendix" deals with the synopsis of such hidden treasures of renowned homoeopathic practitioners. I hope this publication will acquaint the readers with all the plausible facts about asthma and its management with Homoeopathy.
