Natural Relief for Asthma

Asthma is a long term inflammatory disease that affects the lungs and respiration in which inflammation and spasms of the bronchial passages slows the flow of air to and from the lungs due to increase amounts of mucus, the exact cause of asthma is unknown but it has been linked to an abnormal immune response in which attacks are thought to be brought on by stress, allergies, changes in environmental conditions, viral infections, emotions, exercise, food additives and airborne irritants. Individuals being affected by asthma have risen slowly over the past 20 years and it is thought that environmental pollution is the main cause with exposure to a wide variety of chemicals and typically exposure to cotton dust, flour dust, animal fur and smoke in a working environment. The typical symptoms of asthma are tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing.

As well as using a preventer inhaler to dampen down the symptoms of asthma other methods can be used to help the condition. Try to avoid those elements that trigger an attack, avoid dust, smoke, mould, animal dander, pollen, chemicals and food additives, keep to a vegan type diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, avoid sugar, salt, caffeine, chlorinated tap water, avoid food additives such as sulphites, tartrazine, sodium benzoate, and natural salicylates and increase oily fish in the diet such as salmon, trout, herring, mackerel, sardines and tuna. Suffers of asthma may find it beneficial to also try acupuncture and the set of breathing techniques called Buteyko.
