Natural treatments for asthma symptoms should always be approved by a doctor due to the dangerous nature of an asthma attack. Consider treating ...

The cold weather is causing me bad bronchospasms. Its hard to suck in air. I have medicine but I don't like using my medicine any more than I need to.

Is there anything that I can eat or drink regularly to help alleviate this? Not as a replacement for my medicine, just something to help it, like some kind of herbal tea, natural dietary supplement, etc. 10 points for your help! I appreciate it!

I'm an asthma sufferer just like you. Sometimes I find when I am having trouble breathing, I take a hot shower and the steam from the shower actually helps me breath better. Especially when I am not sick. When I am sick and I get bronchitis, I feel that the cold air helps me. There is no surefire way to know this is going to work until you try it. But it works wonders for me! Hope this helps you!

I have heard a lot about Papworth breathing technique which has improved the condition of many asthmatic patients. Can someone teach me this technique? I am also interested in knowing any natural remedies for this disease. Any dieatary do's and don't that help are also welcome.

Papworth breathing sounds like a fancy term for diaphragmatic breathing or exertional breathing maneuvers. Diaphragmatic breathing teaches the patient to use their diaphragm more during regular breathing, giving them more muscle power to breathe with. Exertional breathing is about using what you have efficiently. They are to assist people in living with chronic pulmonary disease and absolutely not to replace doctor prescribed medication. Having stronger breathing muscles won't help you at all if your airways are clamped shut.

If you are looking to try some breathing exercises, your doctor or an asthma clinic should have a lot of resources available to help you. There are many ways to improve lung function through breathing in a specific way or through a device. But, there may be side effects that can be quite harmful to you.

Asthma is a chronic lung disease. It kills hundred of people every year. Taking care of yourself and following your doctor's orders are the best way for asthmatics to live long and productive lives. There are no miracle cranberries or silver bullet breathing exercises.

Knowing why and when you have asthma attacks is probably the most important single thing that you can do on your own. I can predict when I'm going to have problems. Smog days, diesel exhaust, and stress/anxiety are my asthma triggers. By minimizing my exposure to these, I am problem free. Some detective work has gone a long way to help me not have scary asthma episodes anymore.

There is way too much info out there for natural remedies. There is no naturopath in my area, so tips and hints that have worked for you on your kids would be helpful.

My 9 year old has asthma, which is brought on by allergies and heavy exercise - she is a sport nut. Her allergies are pretty bad too, but since she spends so much time outside for sports I hate to "dope her up" every day with allergy medicine. No allergy medicine = worse asthma, so then she is sucking back her puffer.

Any tips, good websites, etc would help! Thanks
She is getting food allergy testing on Wednesday! I'm looking to start more natural treatments after I find out what she is allergic to,,, I know there is a food in there somewhere [like tuna or red dye] that will be an AHH OK! for us :)

You may think this sounds crazy, but many allergy and asthma sufferers actually have food allergies and/or sensitivities. I have had terrible allergies and a nose that wouldn't stop running until I cut peanuts, dairy, wheat, and some other stuff out of my diet. You can try an allergy elimination diet, get a $200 test to see which foods she's allergic to, or eliminate certain foods based on her blood type, which is what I did, since it's basically free.

I know it sounds crazy, but it actually works! You can read thousands of peoples stories at this forum, ask questions, do a search on asthma, etc.

My mom has had bronchitis lately and it turned into asthma. I believe that I have caught bronchitis from her. Are there any natural remedies that will help this? I have had the pneumonia shot so it should not develop into pneumonia. I absolutely hate being on antibiotics so any other options would be great. It is the first day so it should be very easily treated.

well it is a good thing that u got the pneumonia shot , but the reality is that just because you got the shot doesn't mean that you can get pneumonia and for asthma there's no natural cure for it. you really need to see a doc and get some chest x-rays
