Asthma is a lung disorder caused by
inflammation in the airways (also called as bronchi). This inflammation results
into narrowing and tightness of airways, thus prevents free flow of air into
the lungs, making it tough to breathe. The inflammation possibly will be
completely or partially reversed with or without allopathy medicines.
