Breath of Relief: A Natural Approach to a Healthcare Crisis

As reports of the under-insured and uninsured continue to rise in the midst of the economic crisis sweeping the world, many people are beginning to look outside the healthcare system for their health needs.  As many lose their jobs, for many it means an end to their health insurance and their much needed prescription medications, including life-saving asthma and bronchitis inhalers and medications. Doctor appointments, prescriptions, refills and COBRA become both a necessity and a huge drain on finances and even more so during the universal decline of financial resources. But what can you do if you happen to be one of the millions suffering from a breathing disorder? You can find alternative means.

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, asthma accounts for approximately 500,000 hospitalizations, 217,000 emergency room visits and 10.5 million physician office visits every year. Without sufficient healthcare coverage, the costs of these visits are astronomical. But all of these problems could be easily avoided if asthma and similar breathing disorders were simply circumvented by taking preventative measures.

While asthma is a treatable condition, it is also responsible for one-quarter of all emergency room visits in the United States each year, according to the AAAAI. It is also responsible for 5,000 deaths each year.  Although most people can control their symptoms, prescription inhalers come with their own laundry list of side effects, ranging from the moderate to the severe. However, many sufferers have found relief in the form herbal and nutritional supplementation that enhances breathing.

In a clinical trial of diagnosed asthma sufferers, A unique nutritional supplement consisting of a blend of herbs was found to help improve breathing and increase activity levels. Because it is composed of herbs this approach does not come with the risks of traditional asthma treatments.

The right combination of herbs and nutritional support has been found to significantly decrease symptoms of breathing disorders. The right complementary natural health care approach can help many with breathing issues breathe better, longer, and many inhaler users have found that it also allows them to use their prescription inhalers less frequently, saving money on refills and doctor visits.
