Bronchial asthma treatment with folk remedies

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the upper respiratory tract (bronchi). It develops most often in infancy and goes away by fourteen to fifteen years. Asthma attacks are always accompanied by mucus production and narrowing of the airways, and they also vary in severity and duration. In particularly severe cases, excessive choking and swelling of the airways can be life-threatening. It is noteworthy that the disease is inherited, so it is considered “family”, but people who smoke are at particular risk. Over the past two decades, the spread of the disease has increased significantly, as has the mortality rate from it. At the same time, the disease itself has become much more dangerous than it was before, as evidenced by reports of hospitalization of asthma patients. However, today there is no effective drug treatment for this disease, so many people use proven folk remedies for bronchial asthma.

First manifestations of asthma

All manifestations of asthma can be divided into severe and mild attacks. In some people, the disease manifests itself in a mild form and is extremely rare, while in others, on the contrary, it is in a severe form and with complications. Here are the main signs that we recommend you pay attention to:

• Uncharacteristic shortness of breath that appears for no reason;
• Intermittent or constant wheezing;
• Cough of varying duration and intensity;
• Non-standard reaction of the body to external stimuli (dust, physical activity, crying);
• Dry cough that appears only when running;
• In children, the disease at an early stage often manifests itself through itching in the neck and chest;

In later stages, asthma can manifest itself through full-blown short-term or prolonged attacks, accompanied by coughing, whistling from the lungs, wheezing and suffocation. Moreover, in some cases, the duration of such attacks can reach two to three days.

Treatment of asthma with air

Mountain air has a healing effect on bronchial asthma. This healing method is useful for moderate and mild asthma. Under the influence of mountain air, the number of attacks decreases and their duration becomes shorter. It is useful for asthma patients to be at resorts up to 2500m above sea level, not to climb too high into the mountains, which can cause an exacerbation of the disease, and to go to resorts for a month in the summer.

The treatment of asthma is influenced by the coastal climate, this is the shore of the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Here the air is saturated with air ions and iodine. Such resorts are visited in early autumn or late spring, when it is not very hot and there is the necessary air humidity, which is useful for asthma. Stay at sea should be no more than a month.

It’s good to be in the countryside more often, to take walks through the pine forest. The city air is far from clean, so it is better to reduce your exposure to it.

An effective folk remedy for asthma

There is a special balm that relieves attacks of illness and promotes a person’s recovery.
To prepare it, you need to mix medical alcohol, flower honey, aloe juice, sugar, beet juice, lemon juice, radish juice, cranberry and onion juice in equal proportions. For convenience, you can use faceted glasses. The finished mixture must be thoroughly mixed and refrigerated. The balm should be consumed three times a day, shortly before meals, two large spoons. You can get rid of bronchial asthma forever with the help of ammonia. It must be dissolved in fifty milliliters of boiled cow's milk or water and consumed two or three drops daily. For the first three days, the medicine must be taken continuously, with virtually no breaks. Some time after such treatment, sputum, mucus and possibly pus will begin to be released abundantly from the bronchi. However, even after this you should not stop treatment; it is necessary to continue it until a dramatic improvement occurs.

Prevention and Treatment of Attacks of Cardiac Asthma Using Folk Remedies

However, cardiac asthma is not an independent pathology, but only a complication of certain diseases (for example, atherosclerotic cardiosclerosis, hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, heart defects). Such an attack can result in pulmonary edema and even death.

Therefore, if a patient has symptoms of cardiac asthma, then he needs competent treatment aimed at preventing attacks.

Attacks of cardiac asthma are characterized by the appearance of severe shortness of breath or suffocation, weakness, cold sweat, and anxiety. In this case, cyanosis of the skin appears, cyanosis of the fingertips and lips may be noted.

The patient usually sits up in bed, there is a feeling of lack of air, at first a dry cough appears, then at the end of the attack, light, foamy sputum leaves. Such attacks can last several minutes, rarely several hours.

Such asthma attacks can occur at night, and then the patient wakes up in a cold sweat from a feeling of lack of air.

This is due to the fact that at night the patient is in a horizontal position, and the blood flow to the heart increases, in addition, the influence of the vagus nerve, which affects the tone of the coronary arteries, increases.

Also, attacks of cardiac asthma can occur during the daytime, and they can be provoked by any event - emotional stress, physical activity, food intake, the appearance of angina.

If a patient experiences an attack of shortness of breath or sudden shortness of breath, then this is a significant reason to seek medical help.

Before the arrival of medical workers, experts recommend sitting the patient down with the lower limbs down, giving nitroglycerin tablets under the tongue (only two or three tablets with a dosing interval of ten to fifteen minutes).

In addition, you can apply tourniquets to the limbs to reduce blood flow to the heart, which should be removed every half hour for five to ten minutes. It is good if it is possible to inhale oxygen (for example, using an oxygen pillow).

After stopping an episode of cardiac asthma, the patient needs bed rest and treatment of the underlying disease that led to the development of such an attack.

In the case when a patient develops cardiac asthma for the first time, he is indicated for hospitalization for further examination and selection of appropriate treatment.

Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to completely rid a child of a chronic disease at this time. We can only minimize attacks and reduce allergens.

Reaction.

You will need to teach your child relaxation, because it can relax muscles, expand breathing, thereby facilitating the intake of more air. The child should take a position that is comfortable for him. The collar and belt should not press. Teach your child to visualize. Nowadays any meditation program is available via the Internet.

Visualization.

Before these methods, you must induce a normal mood in any child. Wonderful music and small lights will help. Your story should be good enough for the child to start visualizing.

Situation.

Wherever the child is, it should not be hot. In summer, the air in almost any room is relatively dry, so fill the bathtub with water. Through an open door in the bathroom, hot, humid steam will spread throughout many rooms. It’s better even if the child is in the bathroom all this time.

Drink.

With this pathology, any breathing will always be more rapid, and this quietly leads to dehydration. Drinking will compensate for the fluid and restore proper breathing. Teas based on suitable herbs are drunk in very small sips.

Allergic asthma treatment with folk remedies.

Massage.

The necessary massage will allow the child to breathe easier. Learn and train yourself to massage your child constantly, even in the absence of seizures.

Let the child sit in a position that is more comfortable for him, you can even recline, leaning, for example, on pillows. The room was already ventilated. The baby should be warm, as should your hands. Start massaging from the foot, from the heel. Your movements are soft. Use the finger of your other hand to press slightly (up to 5 seconds), and then release.

Then slowly move your finger from the heel to 1 toe and go back immediately, then also, but up to 2 toes. And so on to the little finger. Next, move on to massaging near the ankles, moving to each finger. The leg is covered and the massage is resumed on the other foot.

What means and methods can be used for bronchial asthma

To treat bronchial asthma at home, you can use the following recipes and methods of influencing the body. (Treating asthma, in this case, means reducing the symptoms of the disease in general). The most effective folk remedies, including for children, to treat bronchial asthma at home should be recognized as:

• Ginger
• Onion
• Garlic
• Honey
• Eucalyptus oil
• Herbs

Each of these remedies separately and recipes for their use at home will be discussed below.

Ginger reduces chronic inflammation in the bronchial wall by dilating small vessels in it. To reveal the healing properties of ginger, you need to mix its juice with honey and pomegranate juice in a 1:1:1 ratio.

The patient should take 2-3 teaspoons of the described mixture per day. If you have a sore throat, you can gargle with baking soda.

Onions also have an anti-inflammatory effect on the bronchial wall, preventing the onset of symptoms of the disease.

For onions to have a positive effect on the course of the disease, it is enough to simply eat half a raw (!) onion a day (you can chop it into a salad, for example).

Garlic can sometimes be used even in the event of an attack of bronchial asthma, but it is still better to avoid this attack with its help. To do this, place ten peeled garlic cloves in a container containing half a glass of milk. Next, place everything on low heat, bring to a boil and leave simmering for 3-4 minutes. You need to drink the decoction every night at night.

You can also make garlic tea. To do this, place a few cloves of garlic (3-4) in a saucepan with ½ liter of water and bring to a boil. After this, the tea is ready. Allow the garlic tea to cool. Drink half a glass twice a day. Recipes with garlic are very simple and popular among patients.

Honey can be beneficial during an asthma attack if you breathe it in. In addition, you can eat a spoonful of honey and cinnamon every day before bed, washing down the mixture with water.

Useful tips

If you have just recently received a disappointing diagnosis, and you know absolutely nothing about your disease, we recommend visiting a special school for asthmatics. It will tell you in detail about your disease and give you basic recommendations. In addition, you will be able to meet similar patients and learn from their experiences and receive valuable advice.

Try to test daily using a peak flow meter. This simple device is designed to measure peak expiratory flow. With its help, you can assess the condition of the pulmonary system and judge the effectiveness of treatment.

Yoga for asthma

Systematic yoga classes provide a good therapeutic effect. Aimed at regulating breathing and adequately controlling the symptoms of the disease. Of course, this is not a panacea and during exercise you must follow the recommendations given by your doctor. Moreover, we need an instructor leading a small group so that he can monitor the condition of the patient with asthma during classes and give a feasible load.

Yoga is contraindicated during an exacerbation of the disease, with cardiac and respiratory failure.

Hardening for asthma

It has an auxiliary value, and constant hardening procedures for asthma have a pronounced positive effect. They start by dousing with water every morning at a temperature of 32 degrees. Duration three, four minutes. Gradually the temperature drops to 20 degrees. After finishing, rub the skin with a hard towel until you feel a burning sensation.

After adaptation, it is possible to use a contrast shower. They are exposed to water at temperatures of 32 and 20 degrees for one and a half minutes three or four times. Such procedures begin in the summer, in the absence of attacks of the disease, in order to prepare the patient’s body for changes in temperature.
