A Remarkable Recovery From Chronic Asthma Achieved By 46-Years-Old Lady With Dr. Shah’s Homeopathy
A 46-years-old female, Mrs. V.G (PIN 9172) visited Life Force on 8th December 2006 for the complaint of chronic Asthma. She was a patient of Asthma since last fifteen years, but it was more frequent and severe from the last six months. She would get exacerbations of Asthma almost once in a month. Each acute exacerbation would last for around 8-10 days. She had severe Asthma 20 years back. She was better for about five years and her Asthma again started from 15 years.
Her acute episode of Asthma would start with nose block. She would experience the shortness of breath and heaviness in the chest along with a cough. Her Asthma episode would get triggered by dust, the change of weather, cold weather, and traveling. It was more severe at 4-5 am, in the humid weather, in the cloudy weather, in stress, and after taking cold food or drinks. It used to get better in the summer. She had heaviness in the chest and she complained of phlegm, which was greenish yellow. She had to take Aerocort (corticosteroid) inhaler for 8-10 days a month.
She was also suffering from a migraine for the last 6-7 years. She would get a severe episode of a headache once or twice in a month and each episode would last for about 2-3 days. Her headache was associated with nausea. Her headache would get worse after inadequate sleep and sun exposure. She had to take Migranil tablet for 2-3 days.
Her appetite was good. She was fond of spicy and salty food. Her perspiration and bowel habits were normal. She was tolerant of both the heat and cold. Her sleep was sound.
Mrs. V.G was a housewife. She had undergone a lot of stress in her personal life. Her husband was dominating and stubborn by nature. He was non-cooperative. He would insult her in front of her in-laws. She would still keep on thinking about these bad events of the past. She was reserved. She would never share her emotions with others. She was very depressed because of all these incidences. She was not able to concentrate on anything. She could not control her tears while narrating these details.
Her case details were studied in detail and Dr. Shah prescribed Natrum-Sulphuricum 30c along with research-based homeopathic medicine.
She gave her first follow-up on 8th February 2007. There was no significant relief in her Asthma. She had Asthma episode twice in the last two months and each episode lasted for 8 days, but the intensity of breathlessness was better by 10%. Her feedback was studied by Dr. Shah and medicines were upgraded.
On 16th April 2007, she reported 30-40% improvement in Asthma. She had it twice in those two months, but this time her acute episode lasted for 4-6 days. She could reduce the use of inhalers to 4-6 days per month. Her Migraine intensity was better by 30-40%.
In the next 3-4 months, she had Asthma episode only once which lasted for 4-6 days.
On 21st December 2007, she anxiously reported that there is an increase in her Asthma. She had Asthma episode two to three times in two months. There was winter aggravation. The intensity of her Asthma was still less. She had to take inhalers only for a day or two during that episode.
By 11th May 2009, she had completely recovered from her Asthma. She did not suffer from an episode of Asthma for 6 months. She has been regularly taking homeopathic medicines. She does not face any major complaints. She did not require inhalers in the last two years.
She gets mild colds in the rainy season or winter; however, she does not get any lower respiratory tract infection or congestion. She has been able to overcome her chronic asthma with the help of homeopathy.
Conclusion:
This case highlights that homeopathy is quite effective in providing you a great relief from the discomfort of chronic asthma successfully and safely without any side-effects. Also, homeopathy helps eliminate the dependency on inhalers and other conventional medicines.
