Home Remedies For Asthma

The exact cause of this disease is not known but it can be triggered by
allergies, air pollution, respiratory infections, emotions, weather
conditions, sulfites in food and certain medications. Common symptoms
include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest tightness.




Ginger
Ginger is a well-known natural treatment for various ailments including
asthma. Researchers have found that it 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.
Mix equal quantities of ginger juice, pomegranate juice and honey.
Consume one tablespoon of this mixture two or three times a day.
Alternatively, you can mix one teaspoon of ground ginger in one and a
half cups of water and take one tablespoon of this mixture at bedtime.
Cut one inch of ginger into small pieces and add it to a pot of boiling
water. Let it steep for five minutes, allow it to cool down and then
drink it.
To detoxify your lungs, prepare a fenugreek decoction by boiling one
tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in a cup of water and mixing one teaspoon
each of ginger juice and honey in it. Drink this solution every morning
and evening.
You can also eat raw ginger mixed with salt.


Mustard Oil
When having an asthma attack, massaging with mustard oil can help clear
the respiratory passages and restore normal breathing.
Heat some mustard oil with a little camphor.
Transfer it in a bowl and when it is comfortably warm, gently rub it on
the chest and upper back and massage.
Do this several times a day until the symptoms subside.
