4 Seasons of Asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that carry air in and out of the lungs. Asthma symptoms often vary over time, due to different environmental triggers such as mould or pollen spores. Just like the leaves on a tree change, these triggers can be different throughout the four seasons of the year.
