Home Remedy for Asthma

If you have asthma you know how it feels. How difficult it was to breath during an attack, the coughing, and the feeling like someone is choking you to death.

While people who have asthma have one thing in common (trouble breathing properly), no two person share the same exact characteristics of the condition. So what can you do to prevent an asthma attack? What are the steps that you can take to fight it? Let's see if these home remedies would help.

Asthma Prevention
You know the old adage - prevention is better than cure. To avoid asthma from growing in your newborn, breast-feed your little ones for at least a year. Animal products (yes, that includes formula milk) or wheat products like breakfast cereals must not be introduced until your child is at least 2 years old. Poor weaning and bad early dietary practices has lowered our immunity and leads to all sorts of medical problems like asthma.

No to Antibiotics for Kids
Infants and young children nowadays are exposed to too much antibiotics. The medical professions in UK and Australia have accepted an association between antibiotics and asthma. However the general public have been unaware of it, and sadly a lot of general practitioners are also in the dark about the relationship between the two. Medical journals are replete with cases of kids who have been treated with steroids for their childhood health problems (e.g. eczema) who end up suffering from asthma as a side effect from the drugs.

Try a Vegetarian Diet
Okay, so we have talked about simple preventive measures. But if you were currently suffering from asthma, those two suggestions would not do you much good. What you can do now is to try a more vegetarian-style diet. As early as 1985, studies have shown that asthma patients gained more than 90% improvement in asthma attack when they are placed on vegetarian diets.

For those who are allergic to certain type of foods, try change the diet to one that excludes meat and other dairy products (like milk or cheese). Try fish like salmon and sardines and enjoy herbs like garlic, onion and ginger in your cooking.

Avoid mites and mould
By now you already know that certain things like pollen, dust mites, mould and yeast, strong odors or cigarette smokes could trigger an asthma attack. The best thing to do is to avoid carpeting and when cleaning the house, wear a mask over your face. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean and when you are done, get out of the house. The use of air purifier could also help keep your house free from dust particles and airborne mites.

Avoid Pollen
While blooming flowers may seem like a great sight for most people, you may have to avoid it. Keep your door and window closed in spring, early summer and from mid August until the first frost. If you have to go out during these times remember to wash yourself thoroughly when you get home.

Other Considerations
If you're a smoker, try your best to stop. Avoid pets. If you cannot do that, just make sure you have less contact with the animal and never allow it to get into your room. It is also wise to avoid aspirins and products containing it ? ones that has initials like "AsA". "APC" or "PAC".

Relax, Meditate, Breathe
Since an attack could occur when you're stressful (like near exam time or before an important meeting) you need to learn some relaxation technique like meditation or deep breathing. These techniques will help you release the stress and regulate proper breathing.
