aspirin blocks the COX-1 pathway, which helps for antiinflammatory purposes, but if you block this pathway, then all the arachidonic acid that begins that pathway gets diverted to the the leukotriene synthesis pathway via the enzyme lipooxygenase... which causes bronchoconstriction.

Why is asthma a contraindication to stone massage?

Asthma is a contraindication to stone massage because the heat from the stones can potentially trigger bronchospasm or exacerbate respiratory symptoms in asthmatic individuals. The relaxation and stress-relief benefits of massage may be compromised if an asthma attack occurs, leading to discomfort and potential health risks. Additionally, the environment or scents used in massage therapy could also irritate the respiratory system of asthmatic clients. Therefore, it's important to ensure the safety and comfort of individuals with asthma when considering stone massage.
