Info

The various treatment modalities that are used in asthma are also used in chronic respiratory tract disease (corticosteroids, decongestives, rest, physiotherapy, art therapy, and eurythmy therapy). For specific chronic disease, specific medication will be indicated below. Bellavite et al compiled 24 studies (12 randomized and 12 non-randomized) on common upper respiratory tract infections and otorhinolaryngologic complaints and reviewed the effectiveness of homeopathy in allergic diseases using the criteria of evidence-based medicine. Myristica D4 dilution and externally applied horseradish compresses are tried and true therapies in acute and chronic sinusitis in anthroposophic medicine (Jeschke 2007; Sommer 2005; Hamre et al 2005; Hamre et al 2004b; Hamre et al 2004c). For colds, typical medications are Ferrum phosphoricum and Cinnabar, for the flu Infludo, for otitis media Levisticum radix D3 dilution, an extract from the root of the lovage plant (Soldner et al 2007; Hamre et al 2007e; Hamre et al 2004b; Hamre et al 2004c). With hay fever, Gencydo is the medication of choice, both in the acute situation and for chronic sufferers (Baars et al 2005; Baars et al 2008; Baars et al 2012). For acute bronchitis, Pyrite D3 is effective. In the treatment of chronic bronchitis, the same medication can be used for a longer time period (Fintelmann 2007; Soldner et al 2007). . COPD therapy is similar to asthma therapy in the different treatment modalities. The effect of homeopathic medication on the prevention of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) in children showed a clinically relevant effect of individualized homeopathic care in the prevention of URTI in children (Steinsbekk 2005).
7. Balance and Rhythm The last step in Goethean phenomenology is to formulate the essence of the studied material. In this chapter, we will examine several non-inflammatory diseases of the airways and draw a conclusion concerning their characteristics. We will also take another look at the rhythmic functioning of the human organism and the meaning of rhythm in nature to obtain a broader perspective of rhythms in general and of the importance of rhythm in therapy in particular. 7.1. The Balance in Non-Inflammatory Disease of the Respiratory Tract We have come to know disease as a disturbance of the balance that is present in the body (fig.7.1.). During the course of the day, continuous deviations from homeostasis to one side or the other occur that must be averaged out. That is done by the self-regulating activity of the organism. One important component of this self-regulatory activity is the reaction of the body to injury: the healing process in four phases (section 2.4.1.), also called the Organ of Repair (Bie et al 2008). In previous chapters, it became clear that many diseases of the airways could be seen as an aberration of the inflammatory phase of the healing process. There are also, however, diseases of the airways in which the balance of a different phase in this process is disturbed. Pulmonary embolism is a disease in which a blood clot in the periphery of the body, generally in the legs, develops (venous thrombosis). It is a well-known complication of lying or sitting for a longer period of time, as with intercontinental flights. The clot can loosen, drift via the circulation to the lungs and cause an embolic event there. This closes down the circulation to the alveoli and suddenly reduces respiratory effectiveness, which accounts for the sudden shortness of breath that people experience in this situation. Pulmonary embolism is a disease of the clotting or hemostasis phase of the healing process, in which the organism has too much consolidating tendency.
