What is Asthma?

All of you might not have much knowledge about Asthma. Now, you might be curious to know, exactly what is Asthma? Asthma is a chronic, non-curable, long term - inflammatory disease of airways (bronchial tubes). Some people get confused between COPD and Asthma. Although the symptoms are common in both but asthma is different from COPD. COPD is short form of ‘chronic obstructive pulmonary disease’. In Hindi Asthma is known as ‘dama’ and ‘Swas Rog’ in Ayurveda. Air flows in and out from our lungs through bronchial tubes. Due to inflammation, muscles around the airways become tight and swollen. Airways become narrower. Swelling, tightness and narrowing of airways causes less air to flow into the lungs. Asthma patients react badly when they inhale something. During Asthma attacks airways cells generate extra mucus (thick sticky liquid). This mucus further aggravates narrowing of bronchial tubes.

Causes for Asthma

An estimated 300 million people world-wide suffer from Asthma. In India, approximately 25- 30 million people suffer from this chronic disease. Prevalence rate for Asthma is mostly high in states like Karnataka, Gujarat, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh. The exact cause for Asthma has not been identified till yet. However researchers own a general notion that some genetic, hereditary factors combined with environmental ones make a person more susceptible to Asthma in early childhood.

It is a story about a selfish giant who never let the children play in his garden which had a very beautiful look. But one day he saw a little boy who was very different from the other children. The giant helped the little boy to climb up a tree for which he was weeping, but after that day he did not see him the second time and for the children’s astonishment, he was also transformed to a kind man from a selfish giant. After so many years, one day suddenly the little boy appeared whom he loved, but he did not seem to grow, the giant saw him and ran to meet him but he was shocked to see some marks of nails on his palms and feet and immediately asked him about that, but the boy did not say a word and just insisted him to come along with him to his garden `Paradise’ after playing a while in the giant’s garden. In the afternoon, when the children came back from the school, they found the giant lying dead under a tree, covered with white blossoms. BUT who was the boy? He was JESUS who had come in the form of a child.
