Asthma affects approximately 10% of the Australian population (ABS, 2010-11) and can have a huge impact on one’s life if not well controlled and in some circumstances can be fatal.
It is a condition that causes inflammation in the airways and can be triggered by viral infections, smoke exposure, pollution and pollen to name a few.
