Q: is there a natural cure for asthma?
Are there non prescription treatments for asthma? Is there a cure for asthma?

A: There is no cure for asthma however there are treatments. If you consider prescription medications as standard treatments and all other treatments natural or alternative treatments, then there are natural treatments. Note: ALTERNATIVE OR NATURAL TREATMENTS DO NOT REPLACE STANDARD TREATMENT AND WILL NOT CURE ASTHMA. You have to use the alternative treatments with standard treatments, add them to your asthma action plan and inform your doctor on what you are doing.

In my opinion, prescription medications, knowing and avoiding your triggers, using an asthma action plan and using a peak flow meter every day are standard treatments. Alternative treatments would include diet and exercise.

The underlying cause of asthma is airway inflammation. Inflammation starts way before bronchoconstriction does in an asthma attack. Eating foods that prevent inflammation can help with asthma as well as other inflammation diseases. Some advocate the consumption of anti-inflammatory foods as a means of controlling inflammation.

A typical anti-inflammatory diet includes a well-balanced, varied diet that is high in vegetables and low in refined carbohydrates and undesirable fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats. Anti-inflammatory foods include most colorful fruits and vegetables, oily fish (which contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids), nuts, seeds, and certain spices, such as ginger. Extra virgin olive oil contains a chemical oleocanthal that acts similarly to ibuprofen. Those following an anti-inflammatory diet will avoid refined oils and sugars, and show a preference for so-called anti-inflammatory foods in their meal choices. A diet high in vegetables and low in refined carbohydrates and saturated and trans fats may enhance the creation of prostaglandins. There are three main types of prostaglandins: PG-E1 and PG-E3, which have an anti-inflammatory properties. Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, and bok choy are all in the cruciferous family. Eathing 5 servings of these vegetables each day has the same anti inflammatory properties as one Singulair tablet, a pill use to prevent asthma.

If you are without a rescue inhaler and you are starting to have an asthma attack, you can use a caffeinated drink to help. Caffeine acts in the body like albuterol or even more closely Theophylline. You can drink a strong cup of coffee or a caffeinated soda. You will need alot of caffeine but it can help you until you get to a ER or find you rescue medication.

Exercise is good for asthma. The national guidelines say that even though exercise can be a trigger, it is the only trigger you should not avoid. That said, they don’t specify what type of exercise. I recommend a low impact exercise like yoga or tai chi. If you are up to it, easy bike rides and walking is also good. You see, when you are in shape, your body works more efficiently. You heart rate and respiratory rate slow. You body doesn’t need the amount of oxygen as it once did. So when an asthma attack starts and your oxygen level drops, you can better cope with it.

Another benefit of exercise is that body fat does not play well with asthma. Fat cells promote inflammation in the body. Again, asthma is a disease of airway inflammation. If you have pounds of body fat over your chest and abdomen, it compresses the lungs making it hard to breath.

Again, I must stress that you can not replace standard proven treatments with these “alternative” treatments. You need to have an asthma action plan, you need to check peak flows every day, you need to take you medications as ordered by the doctor and you need to know and avoid your triggers as you can.

Please do not change, modify or stop you asthma treatments until you speak with YOUR primary asthma medical specialist.

Q: cure for asthma please advice.i need inhale 4 times day aim very disappointing anybody know natural cure?

A: The natural cure takes a lot of time and effort. I did it.
I did deep breathing exercises, learned to hold my breath, lifted weights, went swimming, and every exercise you can think of to strengthen your lungs. Also I learned to play harmonica. ANy wind instrument is useful for breath control.
The other component of asthma is anxiety. Take up yoga or meditation or learn to really relax.
You may be in a family with a lot of stress and tension. I left home. That was when my asthma finally cleared up. it can be psychosomatic.

Q: How do I cure my allergies and asthma to dogs and cats?
My entire life I have been allergic to dogs and cats.. eventually it turns into Asthma too. There has to be a cure for this somewhere out there. Benadryl and anti-histamines are not the solution. Does anyone know of any natural cures for this? You would save my life!
Yahoo Guru… you’re useless. I never said I own either dogs or cats.

my mother has been coughing real bad lately and it seems that its because of asthma and i was wondering if there were any natural cures out there to control the cough… thank you

A: YES, HAVE HER TAKE A TEASPOON OF HONEY WHEN SHE GETS UP IN THE MORNING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PETS CONSIDERING REMOVING THEM FROM THE HOUSE. CATS AND DOGS (BLESS THEIR LITTLE SOULS , I LOVE THEM BUT…) SHED AND THAT CAN RAISE CANE WITH ASTHMA.

GET AND IONIC BREEZE FILTER AND PUT IT BESIDE HER TO FILTER THE AIR. TWO OR THREE IF NECESSARY.

KEEP DOWN THE DUST IN YOUR HOUSE. SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS A PROBLEM IS THE CARPET. SOME CARPET HAS FORMALDEHYDE IN IT AND BOY CAN IT KICK UP A REALPROBLEM.

THERE ARE PERFUMES THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS TOO IN SHAMPOOS, SOAP, SOFTENERS IN THE DRYER, …SMOKING, DEODERANT.

IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO MEDS THE ADVAIR , ONE PUFF AT NIGHT WILL HELP TREMENDOUSLY. SOMETIMES ONE PUFF IN THE MORNING BUT IT REALLY HELPS.

I HAD A PHARMACIST TELL ME THIS AND IT WAS TRUE FOR OUR FAMILY.

Q: Does Anyone Know Of Any Natural Cures For Asthma?

A: The most effective treatment for asthma is identifying triggers, such as pets or aspirin, and limiting or eliminating exposure to them. Desensitization is commonly attempted, but has not been shown to be effective. As is common with respiratory disease, smoking adversely affects asthmatics in several ways, including an increased severity of symptoms, a more rapid decline of lung function, and decreased response to preventive medications. Asthmatics who smoke typically require additional medications to help control their disease. Furthermore, exposure of both nonsmokers and smokers to secondhand smoke is detrimental, resulting in more severe asthma, more emergency room visits, and more asthma-related hospital admissions. Smoking cessation and avoidance of those who smoke is strongly encouraged in asthmatics.

The Buteyko Method, or Buteyko Breathing Technique (BBT) is an set of breathing exercises developed by the Ukrainian doctor Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko (Russian: Бутейко) that claim to alleviate various breathing disorders, such as asthma and emphysema.BBT advocates controlling the process of breathing in order to better regulate and even increase the quantity of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.

Q: asthma any natural cures?
BEEN ON SYMBICORT LAST 2 YEARS ,NOT GETTING BETTER DON’T WANT TO BE ON IT FOR EVER DON’T WANT TO USE SINGULAR EITHER. LOOKING FOR CURE NOT CONTROL.

A: I had asthma as a kid, so when it returned later in life it was a matter of concern. I took two products I credit for knocking it out one was something called MSM which is short for Methylsulfonylmethane which desensitized me to allergens, takes about 3 months. I took at least 1000mg a day. The other was Grapeseed Extract, of which I took 1 mg per pound of body weight per day this would open up the airways in about a hour. Both can be had at any good Health Store

Q: What are some natural cures for coughing from asthma?

A: Hi There

Here are some answers on asthma.

Causes of Asthma
Causes of asthma include, though are not limited to poor diet, food and environmental allergies, exposure to cold air, infection, overexertion and/or excessive exercise, exhaustion, and stress. Inhalants, which are commonly prescribed by conventional physicians to treat asthma symptoms, can also trigger asthma attacks, as can other pharmaceutical drugs, which can trigger allergic responses. Improper breathing habits are also a factor; often Asthmatics do shallow breathing, which leaves them more susceptible to an attack. Shallow breathing, coupled with the fear of not being able to breathe can often aggravate an attack.

1. Cleanses: Colon and liver cleanse will clear out the toxins in the blood and assists the body in healing. Learn about detoxifying the blood and you can change your health very quickly.

2. Diet:
If you suffer from asthma, you need to be screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and then avoid eating those foods you are allergic or sensitive to. In addition, avoid all sugar and sugar products, wheat and wheat byproducts, soft drinks, commercially processed foods, and all foods containing artificial ingredients, such as additives, colorings, flavorings, and preservatives. Minimize your intake of milk and dairy products, coffee and other caffeinated products. In addition, avoid eating foods that are high on the glycemic index, as such foods can trigger insulin resistance and cause hypoglycemia, which is a common factor in many cases of asthma.

3. Be sure to drink a gallon of pure water a day.

4. Emphasize an organic, whole foods, include plenty of fresh, raw organic fruits and vegetables, preferably soaked nuts and seeds, organic, free-range meats and poultry, and wild-caught fish. Garlic and onions, ginger and peppers are excellent staples to include in your meals, due to their powerful health benefits for the lungs and overall respiratory system. Also be sure to drink plenty of pure, fresh water each day, a minimum of eight ounces should be drunk every two hours. Extra virgin olive oil, virgin raw coconut butter/oil and high lignin flax seed oil are the oils of choice, and can used freely to replace all other fats and oils in the diet. Choose to cook with only virgin coconut butter/oil due to its ability to withstand high heats.

If your asthma attacks tend to be provoked by stress, combine half a teaspoon each of baking soda and sea salt in organic juice or pure, filtered water, and drink immediately.

5. Herbs: Useful herbs for helping to prevent and reverse asthma symptoms include cayenne pepper, ephedra (although the Food and Drug Administration tried to ban ephedra, it is now once again available due to a federal court ruling that overthrew the FDA ban), garlic, gingko biloba, green tea, gumweed, horse chestnut, Indian tobacco, jujube plum, licorice root, lobelia, marshmallow root, mullein, onion, passionflower, skunk cabbage, slippery elm, and thyme.

6. Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies for asthma include Ammonium carbonicum, Aralia racemosa, Arsenicum album, Arsenicum iodatum, Cuprum metallicum, Ipecac, Kali nit, Lachesis, Lobelia, Natrum sulpuricum, Pulsatilla, Sambucus, Spongia tosta, and Sulphur.

Best of health to you

Q: what is the best way to cure asthma?want to know other alternative herbal med for my kids asthma.?
my kid is 4yrs old and every month, he will be given antibiotics because he has colds eventually leads to cough and asthma. he has maintenance med, (salmeterol+fluticasone propionate, cetirizine) still he cough. I give him also nebulization (combivent). how can he be asthma free? are there herbal med? or natural asthma prevention? my kid is obese. at 4yrs old he is 29kg. and i find it hard to let him on diet because he cant understand what diet is.how can i let him reduce his weight?

A: don’t mess with asthma! Trying a bunch of natural nonsense drugs may get him into a life and death situation. Look at your house, see what is causing his problems, smoking, paint fumes, animal dander, dust etc. eliminate it from your environment and pray for him to outgrow it. a number of kids do. As for the weight, you caused it by overfeeding him, you have to take steps to help him eat healthy foods. Keep him away from jusk food, no soda, no cookies , no crackers….teach him to eat good food and he will lost the weight.

Q: is any body actually working on a cure for asthma “pharmasutical”?
i want know if any body is working on a cure for asthma, and dont give some of that stuff like natural cures

A: Pharmaceutical companies have been searching for a “cure” for half a century now. All we can do now it treat it symptomatically.
There are different types of asthma, not all are of the allergic variety. Of course finding a “cure” would mean finding a drug that prevents the asthmatic’s immune system from over responding to whatever trigger they have. But if you mess with the immune system you had better know what you’re doing.
It’s a very complex system. So much so that there are medical specialists that are immunologists.
Research is going on all over the world. With all the advancements Medicine has already made and the power of the newer computers who knows what can happen?
God bless.

Q: Do anyone know any natural cures or fixes for asthma?
I have been with asthma my whole life and its pretty severe .

I have a lot of medications that is messing me up. so any ideas please do share. I need to get off these meds there not helping me.

A: go see a asthma and allergy specialty, I’m not sure what medication u are on, but most of the time its something that you are allergic to that trigger the asthma. like bird feather, certain pillows make sure that its Cotton and wash them at least once a week, or even body spray, perfume, some time even rubbing alcohol, i have not heard of any home therapy for asthma, but just get an allergy test done and talk to ur doc.
