Ganoderma Lucidum Herbs for Asthma

            What are the best herbs for asthma?
            Scientific studies proved that Cordyceps Sinensis can improve asthma together with Ganoderma Lucidum and Bee Propolis. How these supplements and herbs for asthma help to improve this disturbing health problem?
            Asthma is a kind of allergic reaction that causes the respiratory tract to contract. This blocks air passage where oxygen cannot enter the lung and carbon dioxide cannot flow out. For severe case, inflammation on the respiratory tract may occur, causing serious phlegm.
            Medications and steroid spray can only control asthma condition. However, choosing the correct herbs for asthma may affect a significant long term improvement.
            Generally, asthma attack is triggered by allergen such as pollen and dust. It causes your immune system to over react.
            Under normal circumstances, your immune system will react actively towards bacteria or virus that enters your body. However, pollen and dust are not germs. If your immune system is unregulated, it will launch the attack on those allergens too! This cause’s allergy or asthma attack.
            In your body defense mechanism, a protein called Immunoglobulin E, IgE functions as radar to detect unfriendly particles. When enemy enters your body, IgE radar will fire up signal calling for other immunity cells to launch an attack.
            If IgE is over sensitive, it will signal an emergency rescue call even when it detects pollen or dust. When the attack is blindly launched, it destroys your own friendly cell.
            An important substance that control and regulate IgE is Interferon Gamma.
            Other immunity regulators are Interferon Alpha, Interferon Beta and other lymphatic cells. This group of immunity regulators will suppress over active immunity cells and enhance the weaker one.
            Thus, it maintains a balance in your complex immune system.
            How herbal remedy for asthma help?
            Scientists found that extract of Cordyceps Sinensis herb can effectively enhance the production of Interferon Gamma. This in turn controls the IgE from becoming over active, improving asthma.
            Cordyceps Sinensis can also dilate (expand) respiratory tract, enhance kidney and lung energy. Traditional Chinese Medicine views asthma as condition caused by weakening of kidney and lung.
            Ganoderma Lucidum herb can enhance Interferon Alpha and Interferon Gamma. Bee Propolis is proven to improve asthma and reduce inflammation and phlegm.
            Therefore, taking these supplements and herbs for asthma together may improve the condition naturally and effectively.
            Meanwhile, try your best to avoid environment that triggers asthma attack.
            Please note that you may not discontinue any forms of medication without doctor’s advice even when you are taking herbs for asthma.
