 Can You Develop Asthma from Mold Exposure?

Asthma is a common disorder that plagues many Americans each and every day. This
condition is when the airways go through periods of reversed airflow obstruction known as
asthma episodes or attacks. Normally, when air goes through your nasal passage and down
your throat, it will lead to your lungs lling your lungs with air. In your lungs, there are
small air passages that provide delivery of oxygen into your bloodstream. When asthma
hits, however, the lining of these air passages become swollen, restricting the ow of
oxygen from consistently making its way into your bloodstream. This restriction is what
leads to your body’s response to having an asthma attack that is triggered by the tightness in
your chest. The question then becomes what exactly triggered this reaction? In most cases,
allergens can be the main proponent of this asthma reaction. The key allergens that can
elicit asthma symptoms include pet dander, food, pollen, dust, and most importantly
mold.

How Do You Develop Mold- Induced Asthma

The development of asthma is believed to be a culmination of environmental and genetic
factors that help perpetuate this condition. About 75 percent of asthma cases are diagnosed
by age 7, but even still asthma can be developed at any age. Most people that experience the
start of asthma as adults may have experienced signi cant nasal allergies in the past or even
frequent sinus infections. Some external factors that may be contributing to the onset of
asthma could be pet dander, pollen, or even mold exposure in your environment. Mold in
your home or personal environment may exacerbate your asthma symptoms in those
previously diagnosed or elicit the onset of mold induced asthma for someone that has
never experienced asthma symptoms before.

Natural Cure for Asthma

Although misleading, there is no actual cure for asthma, only remedies to help minimize the
symptoms associated with asthma. Some natural therapies that you implement into your life
can help manage or relief some di cult symptoms you are experiencing with your asthma.
These natural therapies can include a change in your diet, the use of essential oils in your
personal environment and treating your home.

Diet

no different. The foods that you put in your body could positively
or negatively a ect your asthma symptoms. Eating a healthy diet
provides asthma su erers with antioxidants and nutrients to help
ght environmental toxins and control in ammatory responses.
Ensuring that you are eating a balanced diet and getting the
proper nutrients helps to support a stronger immune system and
help counteract health conditions. There have been studies
conducted that show consuming the right foods can be one of the
best home remedies for asthma. Some foods that you should
incorporate into your diet to help aid your asthma symptoms
include brightly colored carotenoid food, foods with folate
(vitamin B9), Vitamin E & C, foods with magnesium, and
Omega-3 foods.

Essential Oils
The main symptoms of asthma include frequent coughing,
wheezing, and having trouble breathing in general, all of these
symptoms can be reduced with the use of essential oils. As uid
lls your airways, these symptoms start to kick in to help reduce
the restriction of air to your airways. When this reaction occurs
try making a concoction of eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil to
open the airways. Using essential oils will help open your airways, and reduce in ammation
caused by asthma attacks.

Asthma Treatment at Home

Treating your home is critical to minimizing asthma symptoms in your personal
environment. It is estimated that most people spend about 90% of their time indoors,
making indoor air quality a major concern when faced with health conditions such as
asthma. Allergens trapped in your home’s air could be an elicitor to asthma symptoms. A
big allergen that could possibly be invading your home and your indoor air is mold.
Speci c types of mold growing in your home taints your indoor air by releasing mold
spores into your air that are small enough to irritate your air passageway. To remove this
allergen from your home you must rst have a mold remediation specialists come out to
remove any mold in your home. When a mold remediation specialist comes and removes
the mold from your home it can then release mold spores into the air and cause health
problems for those that breathe in these allergens. Mold spores can be di cult to remove
from your air once they are airborne, but using an e ective UV air puri er in your home
can help remove these pesky allergens from your air.

The EnviroKlenz Mobile UV System is the ultimate air puri cation system that utilizes
ultraviolet germicidal radiation (UVC lights) to kill microorganisms from your air such as
bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. This air puri cation system uses a two-stage ltration
system with a patented earth mineral air cartridge that removes odors and chemicals that
come into contact with the cartridge, as well as a hospital grade HEPA lter that removes
particulate matter up to 0.3 microns in size. Once the microorganisms are trapped on top
of the HEPA lter, the UVC lights above the HEPA shine down on the mold spores and
bacteria to kill the organisms with
