Definitions
for cardiac asthma, bronchitic asthma, and acute and chronic
bronchial asthma are given. Attacks of acute or episodal bronchial
asthma occur suddenly and end suddenly. Also the whole episode
runs for only a few years, frequently in young people. This
condition can be taken as an active phase of roused up latent
psora. Treatment is with acute remedies and anti-psoric remedies
such as Sulphur, Psorinum or Graphites. Chronic bronchial asthma
patients have a more or less constant wheeze with occasional
paroxysms, cough and frequent recurrent attacks of bronchitis.
Antisycotic remedies such as Kali sulphuricum, Medorrhinum,
Sepia and nosodes, mainly Bacillinum, should be considered.
Etiological factors that are often met with in episodal bronchial
asthma are psoric skin eruptions and various nervous manifestations
of psoric origin. In all other types of asthma etiological factors
that are often found are sycosis or psora-sycosis in the form
of warts, psoriasis, eczema, neoplasms, rheumatism, mucopurulent
discharges and forms of mental aberrations. Only occasionally
is there evidence of syphilitic miasm.
