when 7-year-old Kumbar’s visited my clinic, his two best friends, Asthalin and Budecort inhalers accompanied him. They had been friends since the past five years and as the days were passing by; their friendship was getting stronger and stronger. His parents were very much worried about this, as he was getting increasingly dependent on them. Due to this his weight was impacted.

Kumbar’s was diagnosed with Bronchial Asthma he used to get the attack almost every night while winter and rainy season. The attack would not subside unless he had taken his dose of asthalin and budecort inhalers.

During the case study he mentioned that most of the times the attack used to start as a simple cold which later on progressed to an episode of asthma. Sometimes he just used to get a sensation of tightness in his chest and breathlessness without any reason. He would not be able to eat or drink anything cold since it triggered the asthma episode. He had to avoid citrus fruits for the same reason.

In general, Kumbar’s had a normal appetite except at the time of the asthma episode. He loved spicy food. He used to sweat moderately on his underarms. His thirst, bowels, urine were normal. The initial part of his sleep would be disturbed because of the asthma episodes.

After a detailed case taking, I have undertaken his case at my clinic and treated him with the classical homeopathy medicines. He was also suggested certain dietary changes and special breathing exercises were explained to him.

Few months after taking the medicine Kumbar’s condition started improving gradually. The frequency and intensity of the episodes reduced. He was able to manage most of the asthma episodes without the inhalers except for a couple of times when He required taking them. With continued treatment, his episodes of cold no longer progressed to episodes of asthma.

Within a span of ten months, Kumbar’s was already feeling much better. However, considering that He had a family history of asthma, He was asked to continue the treatment for some more time. His parents were extremely happy because finally Kumbar’s could let go of the inhalers which had earlier become an inseparable part of his life.
