The incidence of asthma among children has doubled worldwide in the last ten years in spite of the enormous strides made in modern medicine. The adult rate isn’t far behind. In the UK alone, over £2 bn is spent every year on asthma relief. It is a result of our modern westernised lifestyle, less fresh air and ventilation.
Allergic asthma causes a person to react badly to something that most other people don’t have a problem with. These substances are called allergens. They may be in the air or your food. Most common is the allergy to dust mite waste. It is airborne or on soft furnishings and is a lot worse with high humidity levels. Whatever the cause, asthma is a distressing condition and needs to be treated. Asthma relief should be the right of every sufferer.
