Asthma – constitutional treatment

Indications

Bronchial asthma and asthmatic bronchitis; constitutional treatment of chronic bronchial asthma.

Mode of action

The basic principle behind the constitutional treatment of asthma is the reactivation or intensification of the organism’s defensive functions. This is a very different approach than conventional methods which suppresses the release of, or the uptake of histamine rather than stimulating the defensive system. This allopathic restriction of natural responses, may actually force the condition deeper. The use of R43 acts to prevent and/or correct this.
