Case example
An 80-year-old man developed severe bronchial asthma after 4 anesthesias 2 years ago, which can be controlled during the day with cortisone spray. At night, when he had to go to the toilet and came from the bedroom into the cool hallway, he suffered such strong suffocation attacks that he needed the emergency doctor 2–3 times a week at night. During the suffocation attacks he was no longer properly responsive and always spoke of his experiences as a child in Africa. This went on for several weeks. After his wife heard a lecture about external applications, she put a fresh ginger compress on his breastbone one evening. He fell asleep with it on and the compress remained in place for 5–6 hours. She did this every evening and the emergency doctor never had to be called again, the patient can now even sleep through again. After about three months he no longer needed a ginger compress, it was enough for him to apply bronchial balm or lavender oil to his sternum every evening – this warmed him up and did him good. He still uses the cortisone spray during the day.
