Breathe Easy: Asthma Relief Tips
Asthma is a significant chronic health condition in the United States, ranking seventh overall and is the leading chronic illness affecting children. This inflammatory disease makes bronchial tubes highly sensitive to irritants.
During an asthma attack, the muscles around the bronchial tubes tighten, causing inflammation, narrowing of the airways, and excess mucus production, which restricts airflow and reduces oxygen levels?"often creating a sensation akin to drowning.
Globally, around 300 million people are affected by asthma, and this number is growing.
