Natural Cures For Asthma: Yes, There ARE Asthma Cures That Are Natural & Healthy
Traditional Western medicine says there are no natural cures for asthma. Or unnatural - meaning drugs - cures for that matter. Other models of medicine, especially those from Asia, disagree. But whether there is a 'cure' or not, most asthma sufferers would agree that simply controlling or eliminating outbreaks would be a wonderful situation.
| Asian disciplines like meditation, yoga, qigong and tai chi can be very helpful. First of all, they reduce stress by calming the mind and the body. Stress is not caused by a situation, but by our reaction to the situation. If our bodies are relaxed, our reactions are relaxed, too. Prove this to yourself by thoroughly relaxing your body - say with a lengthy period of vigorous swimming. Then see how difficult it is to become angry or upset. You must vigorously concentrate on something disturbing to rouse yourself to anger or upset. Secondly, all the disciplines above focus on deep, slow breathing. |
In fact, coordinating movement with breathing is an indispensable part of meditation, yoga, qigong and tai chi. Since asthma is defined as breathing distress, deep, peaceful is obviously the perfect antidote.
Further, according to Asian medicine (which is thousands of years old), all these activities increase the energy and power of the human body by providing high-quality energy. Further, they clear the blocked pathways, including those to the lungs. If they are right - and billions of people say that they are - this is a perfect natural cure for asthma. It is organic, natural and good for anybody.
In addition to what you do, what you don't do it critical. And with asthma, what you shouldn't do is expose yourself to "triggers", those situations and substances that bring on an asthma attack. These are different for each person, but some common ones are:
* Food sensitivities: like citrus, shellfish, wheat, eggs
* Foods that cause mucus - especially dairy products - should be avoided by all asthma patients
* Smoke of any kind
* Roaches and other insects
* Molds
* Dust mites
* Chemicals, like lots of chlorine in a swimming pool
* Stale air
* Wood stoves
* Pets
If these aren't natural cures for asthma, they are the next best thing, because following this advice just might result in few or no asthma attacks at all. Considering the number of folks who end up in the emergency room each year, gasping for breath, these changes are worth making.
