  • Winter can be a challenging season for those living with asthma, as the cold air, indoor allergens, and seasonal illnesses tend to trigger asthma symptoms. Up to 80% of asthma patients experience exacerbated symptoms in winter due to environmental changes.

The article from Moneycontrol discusses five common triggers for asthma during winter and provides home remedies to manage them. Winter asthma can be exacerbated by cold, dry air which can irritate airways, leading to symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath. Indoor allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and mold thrive in the warmer indoor environments, potentially triggering asthma. Respiratory infections like the flu or common cold are more prevalent in winter, further complicating asthma management. Pollution, particularly from indoor heating sources, can also worsen asthma symptoms. Lastly, stress, which often increases during the holiday season, can indirectly trigger asthma. Home remedies suggested include using humidifiers to add moisture to the air, ensuring good ventilation to reduce indoor allergens, maintaining hygiene to prevent infections, avoiding exposure to smoke and pollutants, and practicing stress-reduction techniques like yoga or meditation. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing these triggers and taking proactive steps to mitigate their impact.
