Best Natural Home Remedies for Asthma - Treating Asthma
Asthma Treatment
Modern medical system has not been able to find a cure for this crippling disease. Drugs and
vaccines have only limited value in alleviating symptoms. Most of these are habit forming and
the dose has to be increased from time to time to give the same amount of relief. The frequent
introduction of drugs in the system, while giving only temporary relief, tends to make asthma
chronic and incurable. Allergy - which is the immediate cause of asthma - itself is an indication of
lowered resistance and internal disharmony caused by faulty eating and bad habits. This is the
root cause and the real cure lies in a return to nature.
The natural way to treat asthma consists of stimulating the functioning of slack excretory organs,
adopting appropriate diet patterns to eliminate morbid matter and reconstruct the body, and
practicing yogasanas, yogic kriyas and pranayamas to permit proper assimilation of food and to
strengthen the lungs, digestive system and circulatory organs.
The patient should be given an enema to clean the colon and prevent auto-intoxication.
Mud-packs applied to the abdomen will relieve the fermentation caused by undigested food and
will promote intestinal peristalsis. Wet packs should be applied to the chest to relieve the congestion of the lungs and strengthen them. The patient should be made to perspire through
steam bath, hot foot bath, hot hip bath and sun bath.
This will stimulate the skin and relieve congested lungs.
The patient should also follow the other laws of nature. Air sun and water are great healing
agents. Regular fasting once a week, an occasional enema, breathing exercises, fresh air, dry
climate, light exercises and a correct posture go a long way in treating the disease.
Lemon Juice Asthma Home Remedy
The patient should fast for a few days on lemon juice with honey and thereafter resort to a fruit
juice diet to nourish the system and eliminate the toxins. Gradually, solid foods can be included.
Diet Asthma Home Remedy
The patient should, however, avoid the common dietic errors. Ideally, his diet should contain a
limited quantity of carbohydrates, fats and proteins which are acid-forming foods, and a liberal
quantity of alkaline foods consisting of fresh fruits, green vegetables and germinated gram. Asthamtics should always eat less than their capacity. They should eat slowly, chewing their
food properly. They should drink eight to 10 glasses of water a day, but should avoid taking
water or any liquid with meals. Spices, chillies and pickles, too much tea and coffee should also
be avoided.
Foods Asthma Home Remedy
Foods which tend to produce phelgm such as rice, sugar, lentils and curds as also fried and
other difficult- to- digest foods should be avoided. Breakfast may consist of prunes, orange or
berries or a few black raisins with honey. Lunch and dinner should consist of a salad of raw
vegetables such as cucumber, lettuce, tomato, carrot and beets, one or two lightly cooked green
vegetables and wheat bread. The last meal should preferably be taken before sunset or at least
two hours before going to bed.
Garlic Asthma Home Remedy
Another effective remedy for asthma is garlic. The patient should be given daily garlic cloves
boiled in thirty gms of milk as a cure for early stage of asthma. Steaming ginger tea with minced
garlic cloves in it, can also help to keep the problem under control and should be taken both in
the morning and evening. Turmeric is also regarded as an effective remedy for bronchial
asthma. The patient should be given a teaspoonful of turmeric powder with a glass of milk two or
three times daily. It acts best when taken on an empty stomach.
Yogic asanas for treating asthma
The patient should perform yogic kriyas such as jalneti, vamandhouti and yogic asanas such as
ekpaduttanasana, yogamudra, sarvangasana, padmasana, bhujangasana, dhanurasana,
vakrasana, ardh-matsyendrasan, shalabhasan, paschimottanasana and shavasana.
Pranayamas like kapalbhati, anuloma-viloma, ujjayi, surbyabhedana and bhramari are also
highly beneficial.
The patient should avoid dusty places, exposure to cold, foods to which he is sensitive, mental
worries and tensions. Asthmatic should be made to feel that they are not sick, and with slight
adjustments, can live a full life.
