Asthma is more than just occasional breathlessness. It is a chronic condition that, without proper management, can interfere with daily life. While medications play a role in emergency control, long-term comfort often depends on the choices made at home. That is where effective asthma home care comes in.

A case study published in ScienceDirect highlighted the significant recovery of adults with bronchial asthma using individualised homeopathy. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, patients showed measurable improvement in lung function, symptoms, and immunity, proving homeopathy's effectiveness beyond placebo.

In this blog, we will explore practical home healthcare solutions for asthma patients, guide you through the basics of home care management of asthma, and share useful tips on how to care for asthma in day-to-day life.

What You Should Know About Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

According to the Global Asthma Report, over 34 million people in India are currently affected by asthma, many of whom do not receive continuous care.

Why Home Care Matters

Proper home management helps reduce the frequency and intensity of asthma attacks. It also empowers patients to take control of their health without being overly dependent on medication.

Key benefits of asthma home care include:

Preventing sudden flare-ups
Improving overall lung function
Reducing hospital visits
Supporting better quality of life

Home Care Management of Asthma: Daily Tips

Keep the air clean: Use air purifiers and avoid exposure to dust, smoke, and strong odours
Identify and avoid triggers: Pollen, pets, humidity, and cleaning chemicals can worsen asthma
Track symptoms: Maintain a diary to note when and why symptoms flare up
Follow a breathing routine: Practice deep breathing or guided exercises daily
Stay active but cautious: Exercise boosts lung health but avoid overexertion
Stick to your medication plan: Use inhalers and preventive meds as prescribed
Gargle with warm water
Refrain from artificial or colored foods that aggravate asthma
Light or early dinner
