Emphysema is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) in which the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs get damaged. In emphysema, the wall of air sacs become weak with time and rupture resulting in permanent enlargement of alveoli. This results in the reduction of surface area of the lungs and decrease in the amount of oxygen that can reach the bloodstream. It makes a person harder to breathe. Homeopathic treatment for emphysema tends to play a supportive role in the treatment and should be used alongside conventional treatment. 
People having emphysema also frequently tend to have chronic bronchitis. Smoking tobacco remains the main cause of the development of emphysema. Smoking marijuana can also result in emphysema. Apart from this air pollution, exposure to chemical fumes, dust, and other lung irritants like cotton, wood or mining products increases the risk of developing emphysema. Emphysema can rarely be caused by inherited deficiency of a protein alpha -1- antitrypsin in some cases.
Homeopathic Treatment for Emphysema
Homeopathy cannot reverse the damage already occurred in emphysema but it can help to slow down the further progression of the condition. Symptoms of shortness of breath and cough are managed with natural medicines in an excellent manner.

Symptoms of Emphysema
In many cases, a person may have emphysema without knowing it because they don’t experience any of the symptoms. The main and first symptom noticed in emphysema is shortness of breath, which usually begins gradually. Shortness of breath is especially felt during exercise and physical exertion initially. With time the person starts to feel difficulty in breathing every time, even when at rest that causes difficulty in performing routine activities. Other attending symptoms of emphysema include cough, weight loss, and fatigue.
I was extremely short of breath and constantly tired due to my Emphysema. I was advised to take Montair plus one tablet every night which would give me temporary relief and help my sleep. But I didn’t want to depend on tablet fully which only offers relief not cure. I slowly started Ayurveda, and was introduced to Natural Herbs Centre and their COPD Ayurveda Programme, my symptoms gradually diminished including my shortness of breath, wheezing and fatigue. Reach them at natural herbs centre. com. I know I’ll get negative comments but I’m sharing this perhaps someone is also looking at genuine alternative treatment. I can vouch for this Ayurvedic treatments but you still need to decide what works best for you. Sending prayers
