	Information on Allergies And Asthma Relief Asthma and Allergy Guide: Natural Solutions for relief of allergies and asthma. Asthma is a disease that is characterized by increased responsiveness of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchi (main airway) to some type of trigger that causes widespread narrowing of the airways that changes in severity either as a result of treatment, or spontaneously. A recent US government report states that 16 million adults and 9 million children now suffer from asthma, wringing $13 billion from the nation's annual health-care bill. The causes of asthma remain unclear. Perhaps it's the way we seal ourselves into our newly built houses. Or maybe how obsessed we are with keeping ourselves free of germs and disease. Or maybe even that we now cure our children's fevers with Tylenol instead of aspirin. Or perhaps it's all of the above and more. The major features of asthma include: Hyper-responsiveness of the airways to a specific trigger or group of triggers. Obstruction caused by one or more of the following: bronchospasm (contraction of the smooth bronchial muscles) mucus formation inflammation edema (swollen lung tissue) Reversibility: The changes in the lungs that occur as a result of an asthma attack are not permanent, and will resolve either spontaneously, or with treatment. Asthma triggers can include but are not limited to: allergens (pollen, dust, animal dander or foods) smoke (environmental or cigarette) exercise cold air Many people with asthma find that strong emotions, stress or anxiety can make symptoms of asthma worse, especially during a severe attack. Sometimes asthma symptoms appear for no apparent reason. More than fifty percent of Americans tested positive to one or more allergens, according to a large national study. The new findings show that 54.3% of individuals aged 6-59 years old had a positive skin test response to at least one of the 10 allergens tested. The highest prevalence rates were for dust mite, rye, ragweed, and cockroach, with about 25% of the population testing positive to each allergen. \| Acne \| Anxiety Stress \| Arthritis \| Asthma Allergies \| Bronchitis \| Colds Flu \| Depression \| Insomnia \| Menopause \| Migraines \| PMS \| Sexual Vitality \| Sinusitis \| Weight Loss \| \| Return Home \| Health Conditions \| Superb Herbs \| Aromatherapy Blends \| Natural Medicine \| Carrier Oils \| Site Directory Contact US \| Links \| Discount Pheromones \|
