10 Natural Ways to Ease Asthma

1. Stay away from cigarette smoke and do not smoke. Do not smoke around children or babies, especially if they have asthma.

2. Stay away from log fires, open fireplaces, and wood stoves. They may be romantic but they will aggravate your asthma.

3. Do not go to sleep on a full stomach. Stomach reflux can aggravate your asthma.

4. When exercising, keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose. If you breathe through your mouth, it dries your throat and can trigger an attack. Swimming is great exercise and will not dry out your throat.

5. Try to avoid extra salt and be careful of food additives. Most asthma is brought on by allergies and if you are allergic to food additives, you can trigger an attack.

6. Aspirin and ibuprofen can be deadly to asthma sufferers. A sensitivity can develop without notice so it is best to avoid these products completely

7. If you do not have your inhaler and feel an attack coming on you can try two cups of strong coffee or a couple of chocolate bars. The caffeine can help in an emergency.

8. Talk to your doctor about vitamin B6. It is dangerous in large doses but it has been noted that many asthma sufferers are also low in B6.

9. A warm dry climate with little pollution is the best climate for an asthma sufferer.

10. Listen to your body. Learn your warning signs and do not ignore them. If you start to have more attacks or more severe attacks, see your doctor. People die unnecessarily from asthma. Look after your condition and you will be able to live a totally normal life.
