Asthma and Emphysema both suffer some similar symptoms egg breathing difficulty, swelling in the lungs and bronchi, mucus and inflammation in the bronchi that leads to cough, etc. The difference is that emphysema has damaged lung cells from smoking or work in a dusty environment where as asthma don't have lung cells damage.
Breathing difficulty is a reaction when the patient is in a poor health condition and poor blood circulation, their body has to consume more oxygen. But because he (she) is unable to get enough oxygen, the patient's brain send a message to order the bronchi to work harder to suck more air into the lungs. When the bronchi is overworked and the bronchial smooth muscle spasms, this is an asthma attack or breathing difficulty from emphysema. If the asthma attack or breathing difficulty can not be relieved, the patient may be in danger or lead to death in some cases.
Doctors usually use two types of medicines; steroids to reduce inflammation and antihistamines to reduce the allergic reaction. They use Ventolin to relieve and prevent asthma attack. These drugs are unable to cure asthma and have many side effects to the human body.
I can use natural therapy and Chinese herbal medicine to improve your nervous system to help you relax and sleep better, which can reduce your body's consumption of oxygen and relax your lungs so that will allows more air and blood flow into your lungs to exchange oxygen and CO2.
I can use the herbal medicine to clean the mucus away from your airway and that will improve the oxygen coming into your lungs.
I can use herbal medicine to improve your digestion to help you absorb more tonic and nutrition that supplying your bone marrow to build the good quality red and white blood cells and antibodies. Good quality red blood cell with higher hemoglobin can carry more oxygen and travel faster delivering the oxygen to your body.
I can use the herbal tonics to improve your cardiovascular system to pump more blood to carry more oxygen to you and improve your blood circulation flow. When blood circulation is flowing better into your lungs, the poor functioning or poor quality undamaged lungs cell can recover or partly recover and function better.
When you are able to relax and consume less oxygen and your body is able to get more oxygen, the breathing difficulty will disappear and your asthma or emphysema will go away. I always follow the individual patient's health to treat both symptoms and causes to cure the disease.
Western Medicine considers asthma a allergic disease and emphysema incurable because they only focus on one spot (the inflammation of bronchi and damaged lungs) and unable to look at the whole picture and find the real cause of asthma and emphysema. So, they only can use some pharmaceutical drugs to relieve the symptoms for the patients but never cure the real cause.
Asprin or warferin, some atibiotics or steroids may affect asthma and emphysema, because asprin or warferin can cause some damage the blood cells, this is why they can thin the blood.
If the patient suffering asthma or emphysema, it means they suffer poor quality blood cell or anemia, this is one of the reason they can not get enough oxygen supply.
Asprin or warferin may thin too much weak(poor quality) blood cell, then the patient who suffering asthma or emphysema will get worse and can not breathe, they will suffer breathe dificulty and swelling lungs and throat because their blood cells has been damaged too much and there are not enough blood cells to carry the oxygen to their body. This may very danger and cause death in many cases.
Any medication can thin the blood or cause damage to the blood cell can affect or interact asthma and emphysema.
