What Causes Asthma, and Treatments For Asthma
When I was younger my parents didn't know much about asthma and treatments for it.
Whenever I would start coughing or wheezing they would immediately pull out my inhaler and tell me to puff it twice.
Now don't get me wrong this helped me a lot but it didn't stop it from coming back.
There are many things that cause asthma to aggravate not just outside but in the household and this article will be about what I have learned and my experiences.
Now with Modern medicine, as it stands at the moment, has either stopped looking for the causes of asthma or it has false impressions of the causes.
Through dealing with "trigger factors" we can only hope to treat the symptoms of the problem and not cure it.
