WHO KNOWS A GOOD HOME ASTHMA TREATMENT?
For those of you who don’t hit nonindulgent sufficiency asthma to endorse using a prescription, do you undergo some beatific bag treatments? I’m essentially hunting into what foods support and what to avoid. For me, farm foods run to causing it but I can’t encounter some uncolored communication that’s a beatific uncolored bronkodilator.
I have heard that before inhalers, people used to inhale through a wet cloth. I think this draws water vapor into the lungs. Dont know if it really works. I think that it may warrant some research as a home remedy.
You could try using a water vaporizor, or sitting in a bathroom with a hot shower turned on, my friend used it once when she didn’t have her inhaler. I think it has something to do with the water vapor and steam clearing out your lungs… I am not sure though….
coffee, the caffine opens up the air ways. My youngest brother has had asthma for as long as i can remember and i remember my mom having him drink coffee. She said exactly what i told you. Now my son was just put on an inhaler, and mom told me to remember if all else fails, don’t forget the coffee.
asthma can be deadly. talk to your doctor about causes and treatments.
Surprisingly, caffeine is an excellent bronchiodialator for many people. Your results may vary, but when I was a kid I accidentally discovered that Coca-Cola really helped me breathe when I was in a bind.
I’d be careful when it comes to finding “natural” treatments, though. Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you (for example, cyanide is natural and so are poisonous mushrooms and berries) or that it won’t have negative side effects. As helpful as some of the natural cures are, many of them require further study to fully understand.
I’m a strong endorser of caffeine, although I know that different asthmatics have varying experiences with it (just as we all differ on what medicines work or what our triggers are). I’d say that you should still ask your doctor for a medicine like albuterol. You might not need anything stronger if you have mild asthma, but it’s still the best thing out there. The closest natural alternative to the albuterol family is actually less safe.
One more note on dairy. This REALLY varies from person to person. I don’t have any problem with dairy and it’s never done anything negative or positive with my asthma. With my doctor’s help, I’ve monitored my diet and tried all sorts of things. But I know that dairy makes symptoms worse for other people. If you want to find out how your diet affects your symptoms, try using a “peak flow meter.” You can find one at your pharmacy or online. It measures your lung capacity. Keep a journal of what you eat, the weather, and anything else that might be a trigger. It takes some detective work, because every single asthmatic is different, but it’s worth it to find out if some foods help and others hurt.
