Asthma
is a lung disease that causes difficulty breathing. Asthma can be either acute
or chronic. Asthma attacks occur when there is an obstruction in the flow of
air in the lungs.
Here
are the top 5 home remedies for asthma. Also, consult your doctor for proper
diagnosis and treatment.
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.
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.
Figs
The
nutritional properties of figs promote respiratory health and help drain phlegm
and alleviate breathing difficulties.
Wash
three dried figs and soak them in a cup of water overnight.
In
the morning, eat the soaked figs and drink the fig water on an empty stomach.
Continue
this home treatment for a couple of months.
Garlic
The
following garlic remedy can help clear congestion in your lungs during the
early stages of asthma.
Boil
two or three cloves in one-quarter cup of milk.
Allow
it to cool to room temperature and then drink it.
Coffee
The
caffeine in regular coffee can help control asthma attacks because it acts as a
bronchodilator. Hot coffee helps relax and clear the airways to help you to
breathe easier. The stronger the coffee, the better the result.
But
try not to drink more than three cups of black coffee in a day. If you do not
like coffee, you can opt for a cup of hot black tea. Do not use caffeine as a
regular treatment though.
