Asthma awareness is being highlighted this month, so it's fitting to point out that homeopathic remedies have cured many asthma cases.

Homeopath Alison Broadley said treating asthma cases was one of the most satisfying aspects of her work.

"Most cases of asthma respond rapidly to the proper constitutional remedy," she said.

"As far as I know, homeopathy is one of the few, if not only, systems of medicine that aim to cure this disease, rather than palliating or trying to provide symptomatic relief only.

"When working with a case of asthma, or any pathology, a homeopath not only makes note of the individual symptoms of the disease but also takes into consideration the medical and family history and most importantly the mental, emotional and physical symptoms as a whole," she added.

"This deep understanding assists the homeopath in finding a remedy for a deep and curative healing process. Prognosis varies for each individual."
