Asthma and Breathing Problem | Yoga In German

  • 8 years ago
Asthma has long been considered to be more of a disturbed breathing pattern, than a disease. Samara Chopra indulges in yogic postures that help you to breathe right and avoid asthma. Asthma is an allergic inflammation of the lungs, which can be triggered by air pollutants, pollens, molds, dust, animal dander, chemicals, foods, exercise, or even temperature changes.
These asthma triggers produce allergens, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream causing the B cells or white blood cells to produce billions of molecules of the antibody IgE. These IgE molecules in the bloodstream then combine with the mast cells, which line the blood vessels or basophils, a type of white blood cell. Mast cells and basophils both contain histamine and serotonin, and the antibody IgE causes the mast cells and basophils to leak the histamine and serotonin into the blood stream. This, in turn, produces the symptoms of allergies and asthma.
