Cure Baby Asthma
Does your newborn baby or infant suffer from asthma? Baby asthma is becoming more and more common in Western society and more and more young babies are being diagnosed asthmatic and prescribed steroids as medication. Are you distressed and worried at the thought of having to treat him or her with steroids?
Unfortunately, modern medicine is very limited in the medication available to control and treat asthma. The most common drugs given are steroids and the inhalers or bronchodilators. The steroids work on receptors in the body to try and reduce inflammatory reactions to allergens and bronchodilators attempt to open up the narrowed airways in the lungs.
You can see how these treatments are limited in their ability to control asthma as their main aim is to treat the symptoms of asthma. The cause remains the one thing that is not addressed and so after some time these medicines work less effectively as the receptors in the body become less responsive to them and in some cases stop working all together.
For parents with asthmatic infants the thought of long term steroids is a scary one. Common side effects of long term, high dose steroids include thinning of the skin, bruising easily and weight gain. But what choice do they have?
Well, one very effective yet extremely simple technique of treating asthma in adults, children and babies is called the Bowen Technique. The reason this technique has achieved so much success is that it treats the underlying cause of asthma-the nervous system. An imbalanced nervous system can very easily lead to an overactive immune system-allergic reactions. Another very important problem that is addressed using the Bowen Technique is tension in the respiratory muscles.
Most of us do not associate the breathing muscles with asthma attacks but in actual fact most if not all asthmatics will have a very tense diaphragm. When an allergic reaction occurs and the airways narrow slightly, the rate of breathing automatically increases and the diaphragm is made to work harder. In many cases the rate of breathing becomes quick and shallow creating tension in the diaphragm which is now doing twice the amount of work.
As with any other muscle in the body, it soon tires and a muscle cramp ensues. When this takes place no air can be drawn into the body or expelled. An asthma attack is in full force. If this muscle is never fully relaxed in will remain in a state of tension and will very easily go into a spasm again at the slightest trigger.
The Bowen Technique For Asthma is a simple, gentle and highly effective technique that you can use to treat yourself or your loved ones and start breathing normally!!
