NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR ASTHMA
 

Asthma is a chronic lung condition in which inflammation of the airways or bronchi, affects the way air enters and leaves the lungs, disrupting breathing. Asthma is an ancient Greek word meaning “panting or short drawn breath.” It is the most troublesome of the respiratory diseases. It affects twice as many boys as girls in childhood; more girls than boys in teenage and in adulthood, the ratio becomes 1:1 males to females. People with asthma have extra sensitive or hyper responsive airways. The airways react by narrowing or obstructing when they become irritated. This makes it difficult for the air to move in and out.

The narrowing or obstruction of the airways is caused by:

Airway inflammation (the airways in the lungs become red, swollen and narrow)

Bronchoconstriction (the muscles that encircle the airways tighten or go into spasm)

Causes of Asthma
    The various factors responsible for the cause of asthma are:
  • Lack of exercise: Many are in the habit of easy life that means without any exercises and such people when sometimes get exposed to some irritants develop allergies leading to the blockage of airways.
  • Genetic factors: Many of the families are suffering from this chronic disease. The people suffering from asthma also have other allergic conditions such as rhinitis i.e. inflammation of nose lining.
  • Dietary changes: A high intake of processed food, salt intake, a lower intake antioxidant and omega-3 fatty acids highly contribute in the development of asthma.
  • Occupational exposure: The people working in the industries of baking, woodworking, spray painting of cars, farming and chemical production are prone to asthma due to various irritants such as dust, gases present there.
  • Environmental factors: Infections such as colds and flu, irritants such as dust, cigarette smoke, fumes, house dust mites, pollen, medicines or certain other allergic foods.

I agree that regular exercise is an effective option for treating Asthma.

However the best home remedy is PREVENTION. You do not NEED treatment if you can simply prevent your attacks. So get off the processed foods, try to eat organic and RAW foods, the honey they mentioned is also an excellent remedy for not only asthma, but for hundreds of ailments... as mentioned before, Exercise regularly (improves lung capacity and efficacy) Avoid allergy triggers (yes you should wear a mask if working in a dusty environment. If you paint, open a window! , etc.).

One that wasn't mentioned here, COLD AIR. when I have a bad attack (which is rare these days), I open my refrigerator's freezer and breathe the cold air. It seems to soothe the inflamed airways and I breathe easier almost instantly.

Oddly enough alcohol will stop an asthma attack. Not just a beer, take 5 or 6 shots of liqour right in a row. thins the blood, reduces tissue swelling and opens your airways.

Stay out of dusty cellars and barns...it can start the problem of wheezing. Also taking extra garlic tabs and Vit. c has helped me keep the bronchitis out of my lungs...by extra, I mean more than 3-4x the normal use as stated on the bottle of the supplements. good luck...let's continue to share what works!!!! It can help you live a more normal life, for sure.

Chewing peppermint or spearmint gum and drinking coffee or black tea with peppermint or spearmint in it works.
Heat the water until it is steaming hot, then make the coffee or tea with the peppermint or spearmint (i like using pre-made herbal teas..the brand I use adds rose hips, lemon peel, and hibiscus flowers to the peppermint and spearmint). Put in a favorite mug and add honey.
Breath in the steam. The cup will be hot, so you'll need something to hold it with. Keep your back straight as you do this. After the steam is gone you drink it.
I think the caffeine in the coffee or tea acts a stimulant and helps open the airways (I don't have anything to back this up with, though). And the peppermint and spearmint has always helped me when I couldn't get to my inhaler.
Hope this helps
;-)
