asthmatic treatment

Asthma, whether mild, moderate, or severe, allergic or non-allergic, can be managed. Every patient with asthma should see a doctor to be sure another cause of wheezing is not present and, if asthma is diagnosed, to develop a therapeutic program for managing the disorder. In addition to working with your doctor, you can use home remedies to help control your asthma. Fortunately, home remedies can help prevent asthma attacks and treat symptoms like wheezing and coughing as below;

• Ginger can help reduce airway inflammation and inhibit airway contraction. Plus, studies indicate that it has compounds that may enhance the muscle relaxant effects of certain asthma drugs.

• Decrease protein to 10 percent of daily caloric intake. Replace animal protein as much as possible with plant protein

• Eliminate milk and milk products, substituting other calcium sources.

• Use extra-virgin olive oil as your main fat.

• Increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids.

• The caffeine in regular coffee can help control asthma attacks because it acts as a bronchodilator. Hot coffee also will relax and clear the airways to help you to breathe easier.

• Pure eucalyptus oil is an effective treatment for asthma symptoms because of its decongestant properties. Research indicates that it has a chemical called eucalyptol which can help break up mucus.

• Broccoli helps to open up the airways and regulate air flow to the lungs.
