Asthma is also influenced by certain emotions such as laughing, crying, anger, panic, etc. But many in the medical community believe there is no proof people with asthma are any more psychologically disturbed than their non-asthmatic peers. However, it is not possible to have an illness without it having an emotional or trauma component associated with it. Our brain and body is not a split organism where our brain and body work independently of each other.
Many people confuse asthma triggers with causes, but there are crucial differences. Triggers are simply the things that precipitate an asthma attack. It could be the cold air, a cold virus, exercise, tobacco smoke, or even laughter. These triggers are the things that cause an asthma attack to occur - but they are not the root cause of asthma. The easiest way to think about the difference is to remember that in the absence of this root cause, the triggers would not lead to breathing difficulties. After all, not everyone has an asthma attack when they encounter cold air. But what then, are these mysterious causes?
Causes of Asthma

Causes of Asthma:
Non-specific hyperirritability
Allergy to pollen and dust particles
But more than medical treatment, prevention is the best cure for asthma. While doctors can prescribe millions of drugs to treat this disease, there is a more natural way to combat it. And that would be through vitamins.
Vitamins are the essential substances needed by the body. And of all types of vitamins, Vitamin C is the best candidate to treat this disease.
Respiratory infections
Although asthma is not contagious and you cannot catch it through contact with another person, you can inherit the asthma tendency from your parents.
If a parent is a smoker then a child is twice as likely to develop asthma than children of non-smoking parents.
Children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are often born with smaller airways, which can greatly increase the chances of the disease developing.
The spores produced in the process are released as powdery substance. Some people are allergic to these spores. They cause allergic asthma in people. It helps to study the fungal calendar just as in the case of pollens. The peak periods of fungal spore concentration are the months of September to November and February to April. The people who are allergic to various fungi may show allergic reactions even after consumption of foods containing them. Mushroom allergy is known to be very common.
Diet
One of the leading causes of asthma is diet. Sometimes a certain food triggers an asthma attack because you're allergic to it and other times foods trigger an asthma attack because it naturally does something to your body such as causing your bronchial tubes to swell or causing your body to produce mucus.
Some people find that their asthma is much better or cured all together by doing just one of the above, while others find it works to do a variety of the above. What exactly works is different for each person.
For example, with adjusting diet, some people may find that if they eat a certain food then it helps to relieve their asthma symptoms. However, some other people may find that the exact same food causes an allergic reaction and makes it worse.
