I am suffering from COPD and I am currently undergoing treatment for the same since 4 years. If I start Homeopathic Treatment, do I need to discontinue them?
HOMEOPATHIC medicines start acting on the body immediately on starting the treatment. But since you have been taking conventional medicines for a long time now, it is not advisable to stop them right away. On stopping the conventional medicines suddenly, it is possible that the disease returns with a higher intensity. Along with parallel HOMEOPATHIC treatment, you can gradually taper off your doses of the medicine under the guidance of your expert HOMEOPATHIC physician. Eventually, you can discontinue your conventional medicines.

I am a 35 year old working woman. I do not smoke nor does anyone in my family. But since passive smoking and air pollution is a major problem and we are exposed to it all the time. What can I do to prevent respiratory problems?
The best way to avoid passive smoking is not going near that person at all while he or she is smoking. But if you can, politely tell the person to stop. Being vocal about your problems can sometimes be very simple than you think. You cannot exactly avoid air pollution as you are breathing all the time. Cover your nose and mouth as much as possible while on road. Do Pranayama daily which will strengthen your respiratory system. And not only for yourself, but for others, make sure to nurture the environment, preserve, protect and plant more trees if possible.
