we may consider Pulsatilla. Sulphur can also be given when there is a great deal of mucus production. Spongia can be given where there is an on-going tickling cough that improves with (warm) drinks. (Bönninghausen ed. 2002; Boericke/Phatak ed. 2005; Baets 1987). c. Anthroposophical therapy recommends rhythmic movement and physiotherapy to ameliorate muscle ache (Hamre et al 2007d). d. In standard asthma therapy, the emphasis is first on resolving the chronic inflammation. This is effectively done with inhalation corticosteroid therapy with beclomethason or budesonide. Glucocorticoids can also be given orally. In the past years, several new anti-inflammatory medications have become available, including mast cell stabilizing agents such as cromolyn sodium, and leukotriene modifiers such as zileuton and monteleukast. Omalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds selectively to human immunoglobulin E (IgE). It modifies the allergic cascade. Desensitization can help the chronic hyperreactivity of asthma patients when a clear trigger can be identified (Harrison’s 2008). Natural products from anthroposophical medicine can also relieve the overloaded nervous system and senses. Quercus cortex10% can reduce chronic inflammation. Quercus cortex — the bark of the oak tree — contains tannic acid. Most of us will be familiar with the taste and the effect of tannic acid from the taste of strong black tea: its astringent action is due to tannin. This phenomenon demonstrates tannin’s ability to dry up mucus. Tannin also has an anti-inflammatory effect and weak local anesthetic action. (Meyer 2005; Meyer 2007; Vademecum 2009; Hamre 2009). Another complementary anthroposophic preparation that has an anti-inflammatory effect is a combination of citrus medica fructus (lemon juice) and cydonia fructus (quince juice). Citrus/Cydonia has been shown to restore the equilibrium in immunological processes that affect the balance between the Th1 and Th2 cells and mast cell metabolism at a cellular level (Baars et al 2008; Baars et al 2012; Bruin et al 2001).
6.1.3. Therapy for the Decreased Dissolving Tendency in Asthma: Breathing and Rhythm in Therapy Table 6.3. The characteristics of the dissolving tendency in asthma ASTHMA particularly exacerbations Dissolving tendency Awareness Breathing Muscle tension Metabolic changes Disturbed with decreased sleep Obstructed expiration Impaired general movement Anabolism abrogated Therapeutic Goals a. An important therapeutic modality is strengthening the dynamic of exhaling at all levels. The objective is to stimulate a good sleep, and to restore the balance of conscious activities. b. Expiration itself must be stimulated. Stimulating and strengthening expiration will unburden inhalation, circulation, and movement c. The impaired general movement of the muscles must be given a new impulse. This is important, as the lungs themselves make up part of the rhythmic system, which is always in movement d. The phase of delayed growth that has possibly set in must be converted to an accelerated catch-up growth phase Treatment of the Decreased Dissolving Tendency in Asthma a. Sleep can be influenced by a rhythmic lifestyle. Lifestyle changes that have a rhythmical effect on daily life are important therapeutically. They help the chronic situation, but will ultimately also have an effect on the exacerbations. They stimulate the rhythm of sleeping and waking. Natural sleep-inducing therapy, such as lavender oil, was discussed above (6.1.2.). Bolk’s Companions RespiRatoRy system DisoRDeRs anD theRapy - 85
