Asthma is a chronic condition and as such the most effective way to treat it is by pairing the medicinal treatments prescribed by your doctors with more holistic lifestyle changes you can do yourself. Chronic conditions are with you for life and require constant management to ensure they don’t get out of control and do you damage.
If you’re trying to find healthy and easy ways to manage your asthma but you’re struggling then worry not! We’ve put together this fantastic list of different foods and drinks which should lessen your symptoms and make your asthma much easier to treat in the long run!
Lemon and Water
Water is a great hydrator and will work to flush any toxins or nastiness out of your body at a higher rate than it would generally be expelled. Lemon is a potent anti-inflammatory with antiseptic properties. It’ll ease your breathing and kill any bugs or allergens it encounters.
Fig
Figs will help to lessen the amount of phlegm which builds up in your lungs. This will make you feel more comfortable in general and ease your breathing!
Garlic
One of the most potent natural anti-inflammatory agents out there, garlic also lessens the amount of mucus build up in your bronchioles which will ease your breathing.
Honey
A great and tasty way to boost your immune system which in turn should help protect you from asthma attacks in general. Dilute in hot water or have in tea for the best and most delicious effects!
Coffee
Works much like over the counter asthma medicines by helping to open the airways of asthmatic patients. This in turn eases their breathing, makes them more comfortable and lessens the danger and potential of an asthma attack.
Mustard Oil and Camphor
Mix these two together and rub on your chest before sleeping. As you breathe it in for the night it’ll break down the phlegm build up in your chest and make breathing easier. Do not consume this remedy!
