Signs Photo source |
In ancient Greece the word “asthma” is used to describe
breathlessness or shortness of breath. It was believed, that asthma is caused
by internal imbalances that could be recovered with a healthy diet and changes
in lifestyle.
Asthma is
an inflammation of the bronchi, which leads to swelling and contraction of the
airway tubes. Narrowing of the bronchi
can be fully or partially. The inflamed bronchi can become overly sensitive to
allergens (specific triggers) or other irritants.
