Bronchial Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by episodes of breathlessness, wheezing, cough, chest tightness etc caused due to bronchial hyper-responsiveness and variable air flow obstruction which is reversible spontaneously or with treatment. Bronchial asthma is recognized as major health problem by the World Health Organization. According to latest Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study, 339.4 million people in the world have high burden of asthma. Globally asthma is ranked 16th among the leading causes of years lived with disability and 28th among the leading causes of burden of diseases. Prevalence of asthma is high in developed countries compared to developing countries. In India, about 15-20 million were estimated to be asthmatic. In India, its prevalence is about 2 percent. It is one of the cause of impaired quality of life with decreased ability to complete daily activities (85%), physical activity limitation (69%), loss in productivity at work (73%) or study (64%), and limits in leisure and lifestyle (78%). Homeopathy is a science based on laws of similar, which means it treats the disease with medicines producing similar symptoms when given in healthy individuals.
