Home Remedies For Asthma

Triggers Of Asthma

If you’ve ever suffered from asthma, then you’ll recognise the symptoms of an asthma attack.  That shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and feelings of panic (from mild to severe). There are many home remedies for asthma, not curing, but relieving the symptoms of an asthma attack.

My journey with Asthma

I’ve suffered from Asthma since my 40s and only recently discovered I had allergies. Some allergies I can deal with by not eating or preparing them (soya, potatoes, wheat, olive) but enviromental allergies are trickier (Ash, Birch and grass).

I have to point out here that since cutting out my known allergens, the symptoms have eased by quite a bit. It’s definitely worth getting tested, then consulting with your health professional

“These remedies are not to replace any medications prescribed by your health professional”.

What is Asthma

Asthma is a disease of the lungs that causes difficulty breathing. These asthma attacks occur when there is an obstruction in the flow of air in the lungs.

Because the airways swell up during an asthma attack, the muscles around them become tight, causing the constriction of air around the lungs.
