Asthma: A Common Ailment
If you have asthma, you know the burden of inhalers, doctor's visits and asthmatic episodes. Asthma is one of the most common forms of lung disease that affects 22 million people nationally, reports the  National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Children with asthma are often prescribed steroid drugs. But this may be doing more harm than good. In the International Herald Tribune Allergy Specialist Dr. Bradley Chipps says that the most recent research ". . . gives us good information that what we've been doing doesn't work. It gives us a lead to pursue a safer alternative." In a related article, San Francisco Bay Area News Station KTVU.com reported the results of another study that found that infants with chest infections were more likely to develop asthma later in life. Not only that, but if these babies were born during the fall season, their risk of developing the condition was increased by 30 percent. While both of these studies focus on children, the results are just as interesting to adults with asthma.*

Relax and Take a Few Deep Breaths with Breathe Well
Get Well Natural's Breathe Well product promotes healthy breathing, respiration and a balanced lung function. Breathe Well also provides support for effective detoxification, which is crucial for those with respiratory challenges. Detoxification allows the body to rid itself of excitotoxins and other possible excitatory sensitizers that can cause broncho-constriction, inflammation and excessive mucus production. By promoting the combination of a balanced lung function with the added support of detoxification, it may support the body's natural health mechanisms that work to prevent airway damage (remodeling) and deal with chronic respiratory ailments.*
