WHAT IS AN ASTHMA ATTACK?
During an asthma attack, the muscles of the air passages in the lungs go into spasm. As a result, the airways
become narrowed, which makes breathing more difficult. Sometimes there is a recognised trigger for an attack,
such as a cold, a drug, cigarette smoke or an allergy. At other times, there is no obvious trigger.
Signs and symptoms
Look for:
difficulty breathing
wheezing and coughing
a tight chest, it may feel like a band is tightening around it
distress and anxiety
difficulty speaking, shown through short sentences and whispering
signs of hypoxia such as grey-blue tinge to the lips, earlobes and nailbeds
exhaustion, in the case of a severe attack.
FIRST AID DURING AN ATHMA ATTACK
What to do
Reassure the casualty and ask them to take their usual dose of their reliever inhaler (usually
blue). Ask them to breathe slowly and deeply.
If they have a spacer available, ask them to use it with their inhaler. The inhaler is more
effective with a spacer, especially when being used for young children.
If they have no inhaler call for emergency help.
Sit them down in a comfortable position.
A mild attack will normally ease after a few minutes. However, if they don’t improve within
a few minutes, it may be a severe attack. Ask them to take a puff every 30 to 60 seconds,
until they have had 10 puffs. Help the casualty to use their inhaler if they need assistance.
FIRST AID DURING AN ATHMA ATTACK
If the attack is severe, and they are getting worse, becoming exhausted, or if this is their first
attack, call for emergency help.
Monitor their breathing and level of response. If the ambulance hasn't arrived within 15 minutes,
repeat step 3.
If they become unresponsive at any point prepare to give CPR.
If their symptoms improve and you do not need to call for emergency help, advise the patient to
get an urgent same-day appointment to see their GP or asthma nurse.
Important: This asthma attack information is not for patients on a Maintenance and Reliever
Therapy (MART) plan; this may include a steroid preventer medicine and a certain type of long-
acting bronchodilator medicine which can also be used as their emergency reliever. The patient
will know which they should use in an emergency and may carry a written plan.
COMFREY TESTIMONY FOR ASTHMA ATTACK
Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of
water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies. Every person should
have a knowledge of nature's remedial agencies and how to apply them. It is
essential both to understand the principles involved in the treatment of the sick
and to have a practical training that will enable one rightly to use this knowledge.

WATER
Athma
Drink water according to body requirement,
50ml per kg body weight
Drink 30min before meals and 2 hrs after meals,
do not drink and eat at the same time, do not eat
fish it contains a lot of histamine.
Histamine is a hormone that regulates water loss
in the body and thus leads to blockage of the
trachea and thus panic attacks begin, all this in
an effort to help the body to minimise water loss.
ATHMA
Athma
Another mechanism the body does is to fill the
lungs with mucus, because the lungs always
need to have moisture, if the lungs dnt have
moisture the lungs are then coated with mucus
and things like coughs set in.
Chronic dehydration leads to asthmatic
attacks so drink water.
NATURAL PHARMACY
Another herb that helps is nandinjie, it is used for catching fish and it has a round
bottom tuber, cut up the tuber and dry it in the sun for 1 day, next day take pieces
of it and put it in a 2 litre bottle and shake the contents fervently, then siphone off
the foam and allow the athmatic to drink, repeat this in the afternoon and
evening, this can be done for three days and this cures the asthma completely.
