Have you ever wondered if there are simple remedies to relieve your asthma symptoms?
While medication for asthmatics is vital in the treatment and management of the disease, there are some home remedies that could also help.
It can be difficult to get rid of every speck of dust from your home and avoid all cooking smells that can trigger an asthma attack.
Keeping your home as clean as possible will lessen the risk of allergens causing breathing problems, but you may also be able to improve your health with a visit to the garden centre.
Pot plants placed around your home will release plenty of oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, making the air in your home better for you to breathe. Greener plants will have a better effect and the more the merrier. But be careful that pollen from flowering plants does not trigger an asthma attack.
Massaging homemade oils onto your chest and throat could offer immediate relief from the symptoms of asthma. Warm coconut and sesame oil mixed with nutmeg can help suppress breathlessness.
The power of steam can offer relief by clearing your congested nose and chest. A short period under a towel over a bowl of boiling water can make breathing easier. A drop of vapour rub added to the bowl can offer even better results.
Avoiding products containing artificial scents can help to keep breathing free and easy.
Perhaps the most unusual home remedy is honey and garlic tea. It can reduce nasal congestion. Adding more onion to your food or taking vitamin C tablets can also help.
While it is good to try to relieve symptoms with home remedies and other alternative medicines, keeping up with your medication is vital in the treatment of asthma.
