Boswellia serrata is a great herb to treat asthma complications. One should depend on this herb for various asthma-related problems.

Bronchial Asthma is a Hyper-sensitivity Disorder characterized by Bronchospasm, Mucosal Edema and excessive excretion of viscous mucus that can lead to ventilatory insufficiency. Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swell and may produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, a whistling sound (wheezing) when you breathe out and shortness of breath.

Major Categories of Asthma

Asthma has typically been divided into two categories:

• Extrinsic or Atopic
• Intrinsic

Extrinsic or atopic asthma is generally considered an immunologically mediated condition with a characteristic increase in serum IgE.

Intrinsic asthma is associated with a bronchial reaction that is due not to antigen-antibody stimulation but rather such factors as chemicals, cold air, exercise, infection, agents that activate the alternative complement pathway, and emotional upset.

Causes of asthma

• The complex interaction of environmental and genetic factors.
• History of Atopic disease. The presence of Atopic dermatitis increases the risk of asthma by three- to four-fold.
• Allergies and the response of the immune system are obviously involved in asthma.
