Homeopathy Treatment For COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term lung condition that causes difficulty in breathing due to inflammation and narrowing of the airways. It includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, both of which gradually reduce lung capacity. While COPD cannot be completely reversed, early and continuous management can significantly improve breathing, energy levels, and quality of life. At Dr Care Homeopathy, we offer safe, supportive, and holistic homeopathic treatment that helps reduce breathlessness, control cough, improve lung function, and enhance overall respiratory health  without side effects.

What is COPD?

COPD is a chronic lung disease in which airflow becomes restricted due to damage to the airways and air sacs.
 This makes it difficult for the lungs to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide effectively.

COPD includes:

• Chronic Bronchitis – inflammation of airways with persistent cough and mucus
• Emphysema – damage to lung tissues and air sacs
  
  

COPD progresses slowly and requires long-term management.

Types of COPD

1. Chronic Bronchitis

• Persistent cough for 3 months or more
• Excess mucus production
• Frequent chest infections
  
  

2. Emphysema

• Damage to lung air sac
• Shortness of breath on mild exertion
• Reduced oxygen exchange
  
  

3. Mixed COPD

• Combination of bronchitis and emphysema symptoms
  
  

Homeopathy helps reduce inflammation, control cough, and improve breathing capacity across all types.

Causes of COPD

The major causes include:

• Long-term smoking (primary cause)
• Exposure to polluted air
• Dust and chemical fumes
• Biomass smoke (cooking smoke)
• Childhood respiratory infections
• Genetic deficiency (Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency)
• Long-term untreated asthma
  
  

Even non-smokers can develop COPD due to environmental and genetic factors.

Symptoms of COPD

Symptoms gradually worsen over time and may include:

Early Symptoms

• Persistent cough
• Breathlessness during activity
• Mild chest tightness
• Increased mucus
  
  

Progressive Symptoms

• Wheezing
• Frequent throat clearing
• Fatigue
• Repeated lung infections
• Shortness of breath even at rest
• Difficulty exhaling
  
  

Severe Symptoms

• Swelling in legs or feet
• Blue lips/fingernails (low oxygen)
• Chest congestion
• Weight loss
• Reduced ability to perform daily tasks
  
  

Early treatment significantly slows disease progression.

Diagnosis at Dr Care Homeopathy

Our doctors evaluate COPD through:

• Detailed respiratory history
• Assessment of smoking or environmental exposure
• Frequency of cough and breathlessness
• Check for mucus production
• Evaluation of past lung infections
• Review of reports (Spirometry, X-ray, CT scan)
• Overall immunity and lifestyle assessment
  
  

This helps customize treatment for long-term respiratory improvement.

Complications if COPD is Untreated

COPD can lead to:

• Worsening breathlessness
• Frequent lung infections
• Pneumonia
• Lung failure
• Heart strain (cor pulmonale)
• Low oxygen levels
• Poor quality of life
• Fatigue and weakness
  
  

Proper and continuous care helps prevent severe complications.
