The Return Of Asthma Attack, Part 1

by Cecile Cinco

It had been some months that my silent killer had been asleep. It had been so long that it took awhile to find where I last placed my inhaler.

I have asthma. It “appeared” when my body changed its routine from being energetically activity-oriented to being sit-all-day-in-front-of-the-computer-or-while-riding-to-and-from-work-for-at-least-two-hours-each-ride. Not only have I developed asthma but also this beach floater around my waistline that seemed more permanent than ever. Sigh…

I have found the remedy to my asthma when I was introduced to our national tree, narra. It is, in fact, very good it can dry up even AIDS, breat cancer, and leprous wounds!

Back in time when I had access to a narra tree, I had no problem with asthma. Actually, the encapsulated form can be bought from a drug store but it is quite expensive for me.

What could be the triggers of asthma?

Different people are triggered differently. For me, climate being to hot (especially humid) or too cold triggers my asthma. A fan cannot suffice. The air blown is warm as well.

The air we breathe is another factor. We have too much pollution that negative ion is depleted. Dust, smoke and odor are also my triggers. Good thing my nose is not as good a smeller as most are. Sometimes I cannot distinguish the smell of rotten food unless I look at it (at least my eyes know food that is rotten). If my nose was a keen smeller, I think the more my asthma would attack. I’m blessed to have a weak sense of smell. Even yet, I still get mild attacks from perfume and talcum powder.

I was thinking of aroma therapy. Will it work for me? Hmmm…cleaning the air around me, perhaps will do me good. Perhaps EcoQuest International air purifiers can help.
