ILLINOIS, Our immune system is our main fighter against anything foreign in our bodies.
It protects us from diseases by recognizing and eliminating and removing that foreign material from our bodies.
"Introduction to a variety of chemicals can affect our system badly and put us at risk for illness and disease."
Says Liam Anderson, owner of "Natural Asthma Treatments" www.newasthmatreatments.org a new website specialized in new asthma treatments.
"Allergies are caused by an over sensitive immune system which leads to a misdirected immune response.
When the body has an allergic reaction it's our bodies immune system reacting to some substance or allergy which is generally harmless to most people and will not cause an immune response."
Allergies (including asthma) however are abnormal inflammatory responses of the immune system to dust, pollen, a food or some other substance.
Most medication for treating asthma seeks to reduce the inflammation by using anti-inflammatory medications, or use pharmaceutical inhalants to temporarily dilate the passageway.
Pharmaceutical medications have long term affects and usually only offer a temporary relief.
Many asthma medications contain steroids which can have long term affects on a person.
Natural asthma treatments have herbs that contain antioxidants, and Black cumin seed, rosemary and thyme are known to inhibit the contractions of tracheal smooth muscle that is stimulated by histamine and acetylcholine.
In Asia one natural asthma cure is a blend known as Saiboku-To is used clinically for asthma treatment and contains 10 herbs like ginger, Korean ginseng, magnolia, Baikal and licorice.
In Japan, 40 asthma patients were treated with Saiboku-To for six to 24 months, and all were able to greatly reduce their steroidal asthma medications.20 Saiboku-To have also been shown to inhibit lipoxygenase.
