Respiratory Diseases

Dr. Shweta's approach to respiratory disease begins with the recognition that the airway is not the source of the problem — it is the site where the problem manifests. The immune dysregulation that drives asthma, the mucosal weakness that allows recurrent infections, and the allergic sensitisation that produces rhinitis all have constitutional roots that a correctly chosen remedy can address.

Remedies such as Arsenicum Album (for anxious asthma worse at night and in cold air), Natrum Sulphuricum (for asthma worse in damp weather, with greenish expectoration), Drosera (for deep, barking coughs worse after midnight), Sambucus Nigra (for suffocating cough in infants and children), Allium Cepa (for hay fever with burning nasal discharge and bland eye symptoms), and Kali Bichromicum (for thick, stringy, yellow-green mucus in sinusitis) are selected based on the individual's complete respiratory and constitutional profile.

Constitutional treatment gradually reduces bronchial hypersensitivity, strengthens mucosal immunity, reduces allergic reactivity, and improves pulmonary resilience. Most patients notice fewer and milder respiratory episodes within 6–8 weeks and meaningful reduction in medication dependency over 3–6 months.

Safe alongside inhalers and medication — Constitutional treatment helps to reduce bronchodilators or emergency inhalers. It works alongside them to reduce the frequency and severity of episodes — and over time, medication requirements. Targets immune hypersensitivity Asthma and allergic rhinitis are immune conditions. Constitutional treatment addresses the underlying immune dysregulation — not just the airway reaction it produces. Particularly effective in children Childhood asthma and recurrent chest infections respond especially well to constitutional treatment because the child's immune system is still developing and highly responsive to constitutional influence.
