"Asthma: A Journey through History and Remedies" In the early 20th century, Soviet doctor Konstantin Buteyko made groundbreaking discoveries in understanding asthma. His research paved the way for a better understanding of this respiratory condition that affects millions worldwide. Back then, advertising played a significant role in promoting various remedies. Ozone paper was touted as a revolutionary solution to alleviate asthma symptoms. Dust mites were identified as potential triggers, leading to efforts to minimize their presence in homes. Amidst these serious discussions, there was room for humor too. Comic postcards featuring a large woman in a red bikini frolicking in the sea provided lighthearted relief during those times. Respirators became popular for combating colds, coughs, sore throats, and more. Geraudels Pastilles gained recognition through captivating advertisements that promised relief from respiratory ailments. Chemists and Druggists like Siddall and Swan contributed to the cause by distributing trade cards with engravings depicting the importance of managing asthma effectively. The effects of burning Old King Coal on London were devastating - causing dense fog that led to an increase in cases of asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. This environmental concern sparked awareness about air pollution's impact on respiratory health. "Mecanisme de l acces d'asthme et du spasme de la glotte, " a colorful lithograph illustrating the mechanism behind asthmatic attacks and glottal spasms furthered medical knowledge surrounding this condition. Advertisements for Bronch-Inhaler showcased its effectiveness against various respiratory diseases through vibrant lithographs capturing attention with their vivid colors. Geraudels Pastilles continued its marketing campaign with engraved advertisements emphasizing their efficacy against asthma symptoms while appealing to potential customers' trustworthiness. As we turn back time's pages filled with engravings showcasing different aspects of life during those days – including remedies for asthma – we realize the progress made in understanding and managing this condition.
