Conclusion
When treated with homeopathy, the body’s own healing capacity is enhanced so that the human system does not react adversely to the allergens which are considered external factors affecting asthma. The dependency on inhalers and puffs can also be reduced. The person can stay symptom-free for a longer duration without any medication.
Asthma can be better managed with Homeopathy. A judicious use of inhalers for the acute episodes and Homeopathy for a long-term management helped to give an optimum response. This case illustrates how both sciences can be utilized without conflict of interest but in the common interest of the patient's well-being.
