Home Remedies for Asthma

Asthma is a lung disease that causes difficulty breathing. Asthma can be either acute or chronic. Asthma attacks occur when there is an obstruction in the flow of air in the lungs.
There are many medical treatments for asthma. These simple natural remedies can also provide relief from symptoms.


1. Coffee
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. The stronger the coffee, the better the result.



  • But try not to drink more than three cups of black coffee in a day. If you do not like coffee, you can opt for a cup of hot black tea. Do not use caffeine as a regular treatment though.


2. Figs
The nutritional properties of figs promote respiratory health and help drain phlegm and alleviate breathing difficulties.



  • Wash three dried figs and soak them in a cup of water overnight.
  • In the morning, eat the soaked figs and drink the fig water on an empty stomach.
  • Continue this home treatment for a couple of months. This method helps the nutrients quickly enter your bloodstream and provide relief from asthma symptoms.


3. Honey
Honey is one of the oldest natural cures for asthma. The alcohol and ethereal oils in honey help reduce asthma symptoms.


  • Just inhaling the smell of honey produces positive results for some people.
  • You can also mix one teaspoon of honey into a glass of hot water and drink it slowly about three times a day.
  • Before going to bed, swallow one teaspoon of honey with one-half teaspoon of cinnamon powder. This will help remove phlegm from your throat and allow you to sleep better.
