 Most
asthma sufferers know that a few factors must be present for them to control
this difficult disease. These factors include things like making changes to
their lifestyle, their environment and using asthmatic medicines. With the
recent emphasis on clean living and natural healing, people are beginning to
look into natural asthma treatment to complement the treatments mentioned above.
This article will discuss some of these natural treatments for asthma:-
1) Studies have found that people who eat plenty of Vitamin C enriched foods,
such as fresh fruits and vitamin C supplement, fare better in the control of
their asthma. They suffer less asthmatic symptoms and fewer asthma attacks.
2) Asthma sufferers are shown to suffer less asthmatic symptoms and asthma
attacks when they are on a high protein low carbohydrates (with very little or
no sugar) diet.
3) Foods that contain quercetin and mustard oils, such as garlic and onions,
seem to work to inhibit a particular enzyme from releasing inflammatory
chemicals into our body thus reducing the asthmatic symptoms and attacks.
4) Mullein oil is sometimes used as a powerful and effective remedy to relief
bronchial congestion. It appears to stop coughs and works to unclog the
bronchial tubes. Some asthma sufferers have reported that when they use it in
their fruit juice or tea, they get an almost instant relief.
5) Drinking three cups of pau d'arco tea daily can help to reduce inflammation
and work as a natural antibiotic.
6) Extract of lobelia can help soothe and relax the bronchial muscles and the
irritations that can bring about coughing.
7) A Chinese herbal formula called ClearLungs has been used by some to help
reduce inflammation and mucus which can help to keep the air passages clear and
assist in easier breathing. Always follow the recommended dosage.
8) Avoid gas producing foods such as beans and cabbage or even large amounts of
bran because gas tends to put pressure on the diaphragm which in turn irritates
the asthma condition.
9) Avoid very cold foods and drinks as the extreme temperature can cause the
bronchial tubes to spasm and provoke an attack.
10) Certain foods, such as egg yolks and shellfish, contain arachidonic acid
that is believed to stimulate inflammation. Eating less of such foods may help
alleviate your asthmatic symptoms. It is believed that Omega 3 fatty acids help
to control and counteract this acid. Including Omega 3 into you diet will
definitely brings more benefits than harm.
The above are a few suggestions that the asthmatic sufferers found helpful. As
each asthmatic case is unique, it is important for you to follow good guidelines
and seek the advice of someone in a professional and responsible health position
before proceeding with any natural asthma treatment or asthma treatment.
