Asthma Home Remedies: Treatments Are Close By
Many are under the impression that asthma can only be treated by highly
trained medical staff and with highly advanced medicines. While it is
true that any treatment and asthma sufferer tries should be done under
doctor?s supervision, you may be surprised to know that there are many
natural remedies for asthma that exist right in your own home. In this
article we will look at some of these remedies and their positive effects
for asthma sufferers.
Most of us consume an asthma remedy, on a daily basis, without even
knowing it. Coffee contains caffeine which is a remedy for asthma.
Studies show that people who consume between 1 and 3 cups of coffee a day
have 1 third fewer asthma attacks. The caffeine in coffee can help to
dilate the bronchial tubes. This is what gives coffee its benefit. One
should check with their doctor before using coffee as a remedy and coffee
should not be given to children with asthma.
Have you ever been asked to hold the onions? Well if you are an asthma
sufferer you should ignore this advice. Onions contain anti-inflammatory
agents that can help reduce asthma attacks. If you cannot stand to eat
raw onions, try cooking them in foods. The effect may be slightly reduced
but they can still help.
Ever heard the saying, ?Some like it hot?? Well those that do may be
reducing their risk of asthma attacks. Hot food such as chili peppers can
help asthma. They stimulate the liquid in the mouth and lungs. This water
or liquid can help to thin out the mucous that forms during an attack.
Sometimes the mucous can be coughed up with the help of a little pepper.
Capsicum itself also has natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Finally, if you have cheese cloth in your home, you have a natural
filter. By putting this over heating and cooling vents you can trap and
filter out dust particles, animal dander and other debris before it is
circulated back into the air. Keeping dust levels low is one of the best
asthma prevention methods but it is impossible to eliminate it entirely.
A cheese cloth can help to catch those bits that are left behind and keep
them from being ingested.
By looking in your kitchen, you may find that you have several asthma
remedies at your fingertips. Check with your doctor however, you may be
surprised at how receptive he or she is. These asthma home remedies can
help reduce you attacks and are easier on your body.
