Understanding Asthma

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition where airways become inflamed and narrowed, making breathing difficult. It affects millions of Indians, with air pollution being a major trigger.

Common Triggers

• Allergens (pollen, dust mites, pet dander)
• Respiratory infections
• Exercise and physical exertion
• Stress and strong emotions
• Weather changes and cold air
• Smoke and strong odors

How Yoga Helps

• Pranayama: Breathing exercises strengthen respiratory muscles
• Lung Capacity: Improves overall lung function and capacity
• Stress Management: Reduces stress-induced asthma attacks
• Breathing Control: Teaches controlled breathing techniques
• Relaxation: Prevents airway constriction from anxiety
• Immune Support: May reduce inflammation and boost immunity
