Asthma symptoms or attacks.

People who have asthma tend to live a suffocating and restrictive life especially if the attacks occur frequently. There are different causes of asthma symptoms or attacks. Some asthma symptoms are induced by exercise, dust, stress, cigarette smoke, pollen, pollution, and there are many other triggers. These are all external factors which aggravate the condition of the asthma patient. It doesn't really matter if you"re young or old because asthma can definitely debilitate you when you"re having frequent and severe attacks.

If you suffer from asthma you will know how difficult it is in remaining calm during an attack when you are struggling to breath and your airways are restricting the oxygen flow and carrying an inhaler at all times adds an extra burden.

You will need to be aware of what triggers your attacks to make it easier to avoid them, but this still limits your ability to enjoy a full and active life.

Modern hypnotherapy techniques have a proved to be of comfort to asthma sufferers by helping them to remain calm when an attack is triggered. using hypnosis asthma can become a condition that can be controlled.

By recognising when an attack is forthcoming, following an asthma trigger, the hypnotic suggestions will have implanted the thought of remaining calm and visualizing your air passage as being wide and relaxed. This combined with being able to remain calmer during the attack will make the whole experience less traumatic and eventually attacks can be reduced or even completely removed by using this method.

Hypnosis is used quite extensively to help remain calm generally and in the case of asthma this is very important and makes life much easier.

The great thing about hypnosis is the ease with which it helps bring about a change in behaviour and response patterns.Simply concentrating on the hypnosis script will take you into a relaxed state which allows the suggestions to be absorbed by your subconscious, either through a hypnotherapist or, using autohypnosis, where the recorded script takes you into a similar relaxed and receptive state. This proven relaxing influence makes hypnosis very successful in conditions such as asthma which are similar in nature to panic attacks.

Using hypnosis to cure asthma has become increasingly popular in recent times as more people accept hypnotherapy as an accepted treatment for stress-related conditions. Many studies have shown that the treatment of conditions such as asthma can be effectively controlled using hypnotherapy and self hypnosis asthma treatment and this can easily apply to you if you are a sufferer. If you are willing to try an alternative method which can remove the condition, you may find yourself throwing away the inhaler and gaining the long lost freedom you thought you would never have the joy to experience.

Asthma therapy.

Most people including asthmatics and non-asthmatics alike take breathing for granted but do you know by learning how to breathe properly, you can reduce asthma symptoms and frequency of asthma attack? It may sounds a bit absurd but it true.

Learning how to breathe properly prevent the bad habit of over breathing. Another word to describe this over breathing effect is hyperventilation. Hyperventilation simply means that air is moving in and out of your body so quickly that your body is unable to take in nutrients from the air fast enough.

Therefore learning good breathing will decrease your probability of bad breathing. This simple breathing exercise focuses on strengthening the diaphragm to improve your breathing. A strengthened diaphragm can help reduce over breathing. This exercise is easy to do with enough practice. It requires only 10 minutes and you need to do it twice a day.

Now the very first thing that you need to do is that you need to find a quiet place where you won't be distracted for the next 10 minutes. Your clothing should be loose and comfortable.

Now lie on your back with one pillow under your head and another pillow under your knees.

Make sure that you relax your jaw and your mouth is wide open when you inhale. This will open your throat.

Begin to inhale deeply and when as you exhale, start counting slowly from 1 to 10 and backwards from 10 to 1 in one slow continuous motion. Now, this part is very important. The counting sounds should be below the audible sounds of a whisper.

Continue your exhaling as long as you can until you feel your lungs is urging you inhale in. So you should be experiencing a brief period of discomfort and breathlessness. Ensure that your jaws are still loose and your mouth is still wide open. Repeat the exhaling process several times with the silent counting for about five minutes.

After the silent counting process, it time to for the counting to be heard. Now what you need to do is when you exhale, start counting at audible levels from 1 to 5. So when you are exhaling, you should be counting out "One, Two, Three, Four, Five", five digits at one time.

Now you don't have to project your voice till someone in another room can hear you. Just maintain it an audible level that is the same when having conversation with someone. Repeat this process for the next five minutes and you are done.

To enhance the training, you may occasionally want to lift your knees to your chest and swing your legs from side to side. Make sure you lift your legs only during the exhaling process.

Once you practice enough and got used to the breathing, you may try doing it standing up or sitting. Soon, you may be able to do it whenever and wherever you like.

Take note that it may take up to several weeks before you will see any significant effect. One more thing to note is that please consult your doctor before commencing with this exercise.
