Four Homeopathic Medicines for Asthma

Joette Calabrese, HMC, CCH

March 6th, 2016 | 115 Comments


Carle is a bright, creative young boy but at school, he just doesn’t
seem to function well. He has ADHD, anxiety and a bad temper.

He also has asthma. It can be quite severe at times. He has a history


of frequent colds, allergies, chemical sensitivities, and bronchitis to go
along with it. Like most kids with asthma, his pediatrician prescribed
inhalers.

Now, why did I tell you about his behavior and ADHD if this is a blog
post about asthma? Because, as I have shown time and again, when
you treat a condition with conventional drugs, all these illnesses tend
to become interconnected.

Rather expectedly, if you understand what synthetic drugs do, those


who use inhalers often become aggressive and have difficulty with
concentration. Anxiety caused by specific asthma medicines can also
lead to generalized anxiety disorder, which has been shown to carry
on for years.

Is this psychiatric condition a side effect of a drug? Some might call it


that.

I call it a new disease.

We’ve exchanged bronchial spasms for a behavioral disorder, yet


haven’t even cured the original disease! We’ve swapped normal
aptitude in the classroom with an inability to learn and (sometimes)
the ruining of social acceptance in school and other social circles.

Sounds to me like we’re accumulating diseases, not uprooting them.

Carle and his family have stepped onto the modern medical conveyor
belt and will have a difficult time getting off unless they understand
just how serious these drugs are on a young body and mind.

The irony is, if the school was to have its way, Carle would be put on
more drugs to further suppress his newly acquired behavior.

I looked up steroid inhalers on PubMed, and here is what I found:


they “prevent and control airway inflammation” and “decrease
severity, frequency, and duration of asthma attacks and treat the
attacks as they occur.”

I kept looking for the words “cure” or “life of living free from drugs,”
but I could not find them.

I didn’t really expect to find those words.

The drugs are intended to suppress symptoms without regard to what


they will likely cause elsewhere in Carle’s delicate system.

We’re told these drugs are tested, but on whom? Children with
developing lungs and blooming personalities? Of course not.

By law, children are not tested on. Well, except children like Carle,
under the guise of “proper medical intervention.” If enough children
were treated in the same manner, and enough of them were reported
with psychological damage, it might cause pause for the industry to
change the formula (just in time for the next fall-out to present), but
that's not likely for now, which essentially means Carle is the test.

In truth, we all are.

I don’t mind being part of the testing of a product such as a new


refrigerator or smartphone, but I don’t want to be the lab rat for the
pharmaceutical industry. And I especially don’t want my child to be
one.

So what to do?

There are a few different ways we can approach a situation such as


Carle’s. If his asthma was mild and his parents believed it could be
controlled without submitting to an inhaler, they might decide not to
give him one in the first place.

But unfortunately, most people don’t come to these kinds of


conclusions until they discover just how dangerous drugs can be.
This doesn’t happen until they, or someone they love, has suffered
harm in which case, they could use one (not all) of the following
Banerji Protocols:
1. Kali carbonicum 200, every 7 days, for asthma in general
2. If there is wheezing, Kali iodatum 6, twice daily can be
employed as well.
3. If there is gagging, particularly from an extrinsic cause such as
cat dander, I also like Ipecac 30 every 1-3 hours if very severe,
and less frequently if not. This is also of great value in those
who have asthmatic coughing.
4. Lachesis 200, one dose every other day, is a great medicine to
help uproot asthma, but it should not be taken along with Kali
carbonicum.

However, if extrinsic sources such as allergies are the main cause of


asthma, other remedies must also be employed.

I won’t go into them this week, but chemical sensitivities, food


intolerances, animal dander, pollen and dust, for example, ought to
be represented in the remedy choices to help uproot them.

Asthma can be a life-threatening disease and it’s important to note if


a medication is abruptly halted, a boomerang effect can become
serious.

This is why it is not advisable to stop the use of prescribed drugs,


even while on homeopathics, until it’s clear that the drug has become
undeniably superfluous. It would be advisable for most drugs to be
weaned off with the guidance of the prescribing practitioner.

Remember folks, Homeopathy is medicine — not herbs, vitamins,


home remedies, or supplements — so, if the symptoms I've described
here are not apparent, it is sloppy and potentially harmful to employ
the remedies mentioned above.

There you have it, folks. Homeopathic medicines for asthma, free of
the nasty side-effects and behavioral issues.

Now that’s what I call true medicine.

Warmly,
P.S. My flu has been uprooted by our beautiful homeopathics. I
sounded raspy on and off for a few days, but never missed a day of
work or family obligations. Meanwhile, one of the commenters on this
blog offered a great tip; the specific genus epidemicus for this
particular influenza. This is the remedy mostly likely to address en
masse in the face of this epidemic. My staff is sourcing a pharmacy
for you to purchase the medicine, so stay tuned. I hope to have this
info for you by next week.

Thank you so much for this article. My son has asthma and four years ago we chose to begin
prescription drugs to treat it. Immediately we began to see behavior problems and we worked with
the Dr. to take our son off the prescribed drugs. We sought out a medical team that would treat our
son through diet, and rarely used inhalants. Fortunately his asthma is mild and we have come a
long way in improving his condition.

Hi Joette, Thank you for this informative article. I had asthma as a teenager well into my adult
years as well as while I was pregnant with both of my children. I never knew about homeopathy
during my years of using the usual inhaler — albuterol. When I looked for a homeopath to help
my children with their chronic ailments, I also inquired about a remedy for my asthma. The
homeopath gave me a nosode based on my symptoms. After two doses, I became sick — she
instructed me to “ride it out” as she felt it was a healing crisis. After my illness passed, my asthma
was gone for good. That was six years ago and I still have no signs of any asthma. Never needed
to use or get an inhaler since she treated me in 2010. Truly amazing.

Hi Joette, Sorry for not including the name of the remedy. It was Medhorrinum Americana nosode
(I purchased the nosode from Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy in London). I believe I took the 30C
potency. One dose a week apart. What was interesting (and surprising) is that I took my inhaler for
many, many years — primarily in the winter months — a drop in temperature (to very cold
weather) would trigger my asthma as well as emotional trauma — and when I stopped my inhaler
“cold turkey” because there was no need for it anymore I didn’t really feel or see any
“withdrawal” effects from not taking it. This surprised me because the albuterol was a steroid.
Whenever I took the albuterol, I literally would have heart palpations (sp ?) and my hands would
shake shortly after inhaling the medication. I was relieved to finally stop using it after 20+ years.

Medorrhinum is an excellent choice for asthma but it must fit the picture. I’m delighted
for you, but not in the least bit surprised. I witness these kinds of stories, regularly. Pass
on your story to others. The world needs to know about homeopathy.

This is so encouraging. My husband is at the point that he is going to need a steroid soon
if we don’t get his asthma under control FAST. I know homeopathy doesn’t always work
fast, but I have to try. He’s using albuterol multiple times a day, but we haven’t put him
back on a steroid yet. Hoping to avoid that!

I am sold on the Banerji Protocols, at least as a springboard, so to depart from without at

I bought lachesis 200 for my 7 year old who has asthma after reading this post. I used muscle
testing to make sure the remedy would benefit her. It was a match. I am so very thankful for this
article and information as albuterol is the last pharmaceutical we use at our house and I would love
for her to be off of it. Side note, she also takes some supplements from standard process under the
direction of our chiropractor and is currently taking one of their products for hypothyroidism. She
has headaches and feels bad in the morning combined with puffy eye area, “thyroid hair”and low
energy. The second dose of lachesis seemed to wake up her thyroid and she was full of energy and
fired up instead of laying on the couch feeling badly. It didn’t last long, but I wonder if there is
some type of connection between thyroid and lachesis and asthma.

When hypothyroid, hair falling out is common, but that’s not what I mean. In
my observations, even the hair that remains is dry brittle, hard to brush,
unhealthy looking. It is easy to see who has a thyroid problem by the health of
their hair. I am recovering from Hashimoto’s. I had a ton of mercury amalgams
removed 2 years ago. The consequences of the mercury and tons of drugs really
affected my thyroid and gut. Even my 3 kids suffered so much from my medical
and dental ignorance. We are all healing though, and have been using natural
means for the past few years and nourishing foods. In Sept. I came across your
blog and our healing has increased rapidly. Even our food allergies are
decreasing. One more little thing, I used bovista 200 for food allergies and it
ended up correcting a severe earring allergy! I can now wear earrings again. This
may not seem like much, but when you have thyroid hair, you need all the pretty
you can get! Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

I am curious about taking homeopathy for acute conditions while on a constitutional remedies. For
example, (hypothetical), one is taking a remedy for asthma, then sprains an ankle, and then gets a
cold and turns into a sinus infection. Does one treat the acute problems with the appropriate
remedies or hold off to focus on the constitutional remedy? I am interested in your response as you
have worked closely with the Banerji Protocols, which is different that classical homeopathy.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Joette….and thank you for all your contribute to empowering us with self-healing through

prednisone and steroid inhalers. Awful, I know. No really success so I’m scouting out ways to
help him. Might you suggest any remedy protocols that I can research? I’ve been self-treating with

I can’t take his case in this forum, but if you’re asking if asthma is usually met with more
than one remedy at a time, the answer is yes. Its not to be taken at the same moment but
over the course of care. If wheezing presents then the wheezing remedy is appropriate.

What remedy is appropriate to use on a five year old who has illness induced asthma? He has
trouble breathing and gets a really tight cough any time he gets a cold. We have used the
prednisolone and levebuterol in a nebulizer, but I would love to be able to root out his asthma for
good so that colds do not take such a tole on his health. Thank you, Joette! I used Umcka on my

disappeared so quickly! So grateful for you sharing your knowledge with us!

If what you mean by illness induced asthma that he gets asthma from a cold or bronchitis,
it would be a bit more complex, in which a seasoned homeopath ought to be consulted.
That indeed would need to be addressed. However, having said this, the article covers

Three of my sons have asthma; one’s is exercize induced, the others’ viral. Two attacks ago, we
were able to avoid dr visit and Albuterol with Spongia tosta and Kali iodatum. It got a little scary
with the retracting late at night and I panicked and had him take one puff of the inhaler. But for the
next attack I taught my son how to better recognize the earliest sign of wheezing so I could give
him the remedy more quickly. (Previously he would wait until it was noticeably bad to tell me.) I
also gave Kali iodatum in more frequent doses. When my youngest son had an attack I knew what
to do right away and his attack lasted only one day. We used to be on Albuterol for a week! It
worked. IT WORKED!!! Now I am beginning the protocols to uproot asthma. I don’t know which
would suit each boy the best so am using different on each to compare results. I just wanted to
share this to help other parents. Also, Joette, I first thought I couldn’t afford your classes. Then I

I’m somewhat new to homeopathy and so lost. I’ve taken only one remedy for fever blisters and
I’m unsure if it even worked or if it was the monolaurin I was taking. Howver, I know many
people who have used it and believe it’s powers, so I do too! I’m afraid my husband won’t let me
invest in a book or classes though unless he can be convinced this isnt woo-y science fluff. I think
the best way to convince him would be to cure him! He has asthma, is quick to anger, mild
depression that comes and goes, and dog dander allergies (along with some other environmental
allergens) – we have two dogs. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has food sensitivities or allergies as
well. He uses an albuterol inhaler at least once a day, sometimes twice), usually in the evening or
in the middle of the night (our dogs sleep with us). What would you recommend he take?

My recommendation is that your husband reconsider the efficacy of the paradigm he’s

up to his intellectual standards.

I’m not sure I understand. He’s not taking any homeopathic medicine right now,
because I’m not sure what to give him. His asthma seems to be triggered by the
dog dander, but he also has other things going on, I’m worried treating the
asthma alone won’t be the best treatment. I was hoping you might have a
suggestion?

because of what was stated here. I had to go back to using some herbs that I had used 26 years ago
the last time I had bronchitis. If someone is using Lachesis for hot flashes, etc and they get
bronchitis or pneumonia, what should they use?

My point was to teach that you choose one or the other, not because they are antidoting or
inimical. If I don’t clarify that one should make careful choices, some folks might just
throw everything at it.

Hi, I just wanted to get clarification about the Kali Iod for wheezing – this is go be given every
day, twice a day, regardless of whether the person is actually wheezing on any given day (just
provided that when the asthma DOES present, it presents with wheezing)? We don’t wait until
they are in an asthma attack to administer – I just want to make sure I’m reading that right.

Thank you!!

If the person has asthma with wheezing as part of their regular existence, then Kali Iod
daily is appropriate. If instead they have occasional attacks, its better to use it at the time.

Ah, I see. Would that be true of the 1W Kali Carb 200 as well? Only give when
the asthma is active? My daughter only has asthma symptoms when she has an
illness like cold or flu. So, about once every couple months.

only when there’s an infection. Should you be interested in learning the

“Lachesis 200, one dose every other day, is a great medicine to help uproot asthma, but it should

Does that mean that we either give Kali Carb e7D or Lachesis EOD? Or that we can give both but
not in the same day?

a week? I’m sorry, but I’m brand new to homeopathy. I’m the desperate mother of an 8 yr old girl

Hi Joette,

In your post, you explain that when you looked up the medications normally used for asthma, you
did not get an answer in terms of how they work, their potentially harmful side effects, or proof of
their success. Where can i find these answers for the supplements you listed? All I see above is
you criticizing allopathic medicine with the expectation to just believe that you are correct. What
do those 4 supplements do, how do they work, and what side effects can I expect from them?

Thank you

Your questions would take more than a simple answer here. Homeopathy is a vast
medical paradigm and the best way to learn about it is to read not only what you’ll find
here on this blog, in my podcasts, etc. but to read other homeopathy sites as well.
What will be of most interest to you is that homeopathic medicines (they are not
supplements) do not carry side effects.

I am confused it is suggested Kali carb Kali iod for asthma then the following statement is made…

if extrinsic sources such as allergies are the main cause for asthma, other remedies must also be
employed.
chemical sensitivities, food intolerances, animal dander, pollen and dust, for example, ought to be
represented in the remedy choices to help uproot them.

Next this question is asked and you reply

What would you suggest for Asthma triggered by mold in the house? your reply..It matters not
what the cause is. Look at how it presents.
so isnt mold considered an extrinsic source that ought to be represented in remedy to uproot

We must (MUST) treat on 3 levels. 1) the fact that the condition exists 2) how it presents
(symptomatically such as wheezing or coughing ) are the baseline medicines. Then and
only then we use a medicine that will help when the event occurs from mold or dust, etc.
If we were looking at this like a symphony, the rem for the condition and its symptomatic
picture are the string section that carry the melody…the underpinnings of the symphony,
while the acute that presents from time to time (perhaps the glockenspiel) come to the
fore only as needed. To treat for mold would be like expecting the glockenspiel to carry
the symphony.

persistent asthma. Normally , there is no wheezing sound rather coughing regularly which is most

having this. I am using Mark Cor, Colchicum & Nux at 10 minutes interval daily 3 times for

Hello Dr. Calabrese. Thank you for all the information you provide.

I have COPD. I smoked for years, but no longer. I’m in my mid 70’s.
The condition got worse because we rented a home where there was a lot of burning and smoke in
the area, which got into the house frequently. Of course we moved as soon as it was possible–it
took months before we could.

Anyway, I read that COPD is”incurable,” which is what allopaths say rather than say “we don’t
know how to cure it.” Can homeopathy–Banerji protocols–at least stop the supposedly inevitable
progression of the diseease or at best initiate a curative process? It would be nice if I could
exercise a little or at least walk up a gradual hill.

Thank you for your attention.

Re: ” But not all people are able to be cured.”
Yes, I’ve read that distincion, I believe, in Hahnemann. I’m not Sure why you
brought it up, though. Are you perhaps trying to tell me that I must be prepared
to be told that I may not be curable–perhaps owing to my past smoking habit?
Of course I can accept that possibility.
I was very happy to read that you have witnessed a halting of the condition, even
signficantly resolved. Was this in India under Drs. Banerji, or were you involved
in advising the patient in the States? Please, kindly direct me to the expert who
was able to resolve the condition, or to written materials that address COPD in
homeopathic terms. Please feel free to write to my email address.

Hey John, I’m in same boat, I think. Not many allopathic doctors want
to discuss it except to throw horrible medications at you. I’m not doing
it, and I’m on a mission to find the right protocol. While I wait on those
protocols, I’m following the allergy protocol. Kali iodatum 6 twice
daily, keeps the wheezing away. Ipecac 30-definitely helps if coughing
presents itself. Carbo veg definitely does the trick for shortness of
breath (haven’t used the rescue inhaler in a few weeks), but I’ve gone
through a few vials already. Wondering if another medicine is a better?
Kali mur to clear mucus, if it presents itself. Works well. I didn’t have
any lung issues for a whole year. I would certain give you what I have
found out.

Elaine’s “Moms with Moxie” interview mentioned using Kali carb 200 for wheezing. We decided
to try Kali carb 200, 1D for someone who had childhood asthma but as an adult only has wheezing
when exercising, and it has been working. You mention Kali iodatum 6, 2D for wheezing. Is this a
