Contrary to popular belief, mold allergies are not very common. There are thousands of different types of mold out there. Of all these types, only a select few cause allergic responses.

Mold, also referred to as fungus, grows in practically any type of weather, both indoors and outdoors. Mold allergies do not usually have a defined season such as pollen allergy, although quite a few outdoor molds can be quite common during spring to late fall.

The best defense against asthma caused by mold allergies is to avoid airborne seeds that can be easily inhaled, which are known as mold spores. But avoiding a substance that is as widespread as mold can be difficult sometimes. But do not fret, there are many available medications that can relieve the symptoms of mold allergies.

Mold allergy symptoms are similar to the same signs and symptoms of other types of respiratory allergies.
Watery Eyes
Itchy eyes, nose and throat
Runny or stuffy nose
Cough and postnasal drip
Frequent sneezing
Skin rashes or hives
Inflammation of the sinuses (Sinusitis)

In regard to some of the more mild symptoms, medical attention is not necessary, but if any of the symptoms seem to worsen over time then it is highly advised to see a doctor. A doctor can easily administer tests which will identify the cause of the allergic symptoms. A doctor can also provide you with prescription medication that is likely to help diminish your symptoms.

People who have mold allergies might experience allergy-related asthma, which may be serious during an asthma attack. Signs and symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.

The treatment and medication for mold allergy is similar to the treatment of other allergies. Many kinds of medications are available for asthma caused by mold allergy, such as inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators. For allergic rhinitis caused by mold allergy, there are antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays.

I used to think that many physical conditions were permanent. Take asthma fir example. Surely it is a hereditary condition, and therefore it is permanent? At least that is how I was conditioned to believe.

Is this a familiar foe: Asthma? COPD? Chronic Bronchitis? Emphysema? Hayfever? Pet or dust allergy? Can you imagine what it can be like being free from the asthma and also free from the asthma medication?

It seems unreal. All those doctors giving out inhalers, pills and various lotions and potions, when there is also a much-overlooked natural remedy. And the nicest thing about this remedy is that it does not involve any more medication, lotions, herbs, or potions. I do not know about you, but this is a very attractive option to me.

I myself had been diagnosed with asthma, chronic bronchitis, and various other things, since we have asthma in the family and I smoked whilst ill with a serious virus. I was personally on so many drugs, steroids that piled on the weight, asthma pump that somewhat helped as well as various over-the-counter extra help. I regularly took antibiotics and was a walking pharmacy. I was miserable.

Of course, we had asthma in the family. I could not understand how I was diagnosed with asthma when I got smokers lung, whereas previous to that, I had no asthma symptoms that I noticed. It was very confusing, and I fought the asthma diagnosis very fiercely. It did not feel right or make sense.

I found wonderful methods that gave me my life back and was able to be a complimentary therapist holding a deeply satisfying full-time job. I found Reiki, EFT, and Allergy Antidotes helped me tremendously. Exercise was wonderful, and helped me build up my lungs again. I remember the first time back in the gym after the worst of the illness. I was ablte to do only 20 seconds on the exercise bike before almost collapsing! That was a long time ago. I was able to cut down my medication by a great deal.

I was about 10 times better at least. Still, there was still some not inconsiderable breathing challenge. Then I bought "Close Your Mouth" and used the simple methods in this book. What I found really helpful was the scientific research and easy explanations that helped me understand why these methods from the Russian Dr Buteyko could help me. The result is that not only am I able to breathe better and take even less drugs (even being drug-free for weeks on end, great for someone with smokers lung), but I recommended the book to all my clients that need it.

A virus caught along with 5 other students at university at the end of 1986, plus medical negligence, meant that I got smokers lung at a relatively young age. In desperation for help with my symptoms and quality of life, I turned to complementary therapy, and I have outlived one doctor's prognosis by over 12 years now.

I am now a complementary therapist, author and trainer specializing in techniques referred to as "energy psychology". Want to use this article? You can, as long as you credit me with it and invite your readers to get my FREE book "7 Real Truths of Energy Psychology" at http://www.newagetherapies.com
