Asthmatic & bronchitis patients often use inhalers containing a muslce-relaxing medication which can very effectively relieve an acute asthma attack by immediately opening the bronchial tubes. BUT this does not treat the CAUSE - it only suppresses the problem. AND prolonged use leads to reduced immune & endocrine functions.
The spasms that characterize the acute attack are not the cause of the disorder but a result of chronic inflammation and hypersensitivity of the airways to certain stimuli. |
