Natural Asthma Treatment - Herbal Remedy for Asthma

Natural Asthma Treatment Asthma

Asthma is caused by spasms in the muscles surrounding the bronchi (small airways in the lungs), which constrict the outward passage of stale air. Typical symptoms are coughing, wheezing, a tight chest, and difficult breathing. When changes in air passages occur so that air cannot pass freely to and from the tiny air sacs in the lungs, bronchial asthma results. Cardiac asthma is the result of a malfunctioning heart.
The muscular spasms, together with increased mucus, are brought on by histamine produced by the body's immune system during an allergic response. Therefore, any kind of allergen can precipitate an asthma attack. Researchers believe that lower magnesium uptake or a magnesium deficiency may play a role in certain types of asthma.

Lobelia herbal extract is helpful during an asthma attack; it is a bronchial smooth muscle relaxant. Ginkgo, an herb containing the active ingredient ginkgolide B, has also shown good results in many studies.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The diet should consist primarily of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, oatmeal, brown rice, and whole grains. A hypoglycemic diet should be followed-one that contains no sugar, is high in protein, and is low in carbohydrates.

Use beta-blocking drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and aspirin with caution.

A green drink is important. Kyo-Green from Wakunaga of America Company is excellent. Use three times a day, one half hour before meals. A juice fast, a fast using distilled water and lemon juice, or a combination of both for three days each month can help rid the body of toxins and mucus.

Foods to avoid include alfalfa, beets, carrots, colas, cold beverages (which may cause bronchial spasm), dairy products (including milk and ice cream), fish, red meat (especially pork), processed foods, salt, spinach, chicken and turkey, white flour, and white sugar.

Also avoid furry animals; aspirin; BHA and BHT food additives; F, D, and C yellow #5 dyes; smoke and tobacco; and tryptophan.

Use Dr. Christopher's Air Breathe Ease two to three times daily. Also apply castor oil packs on the back and around the lung and kidney areas. Place castor oil in a pan and heat, but do not boil. Dip a piece of cheesecloth or other white cotton material into the oil until the cloth is saturated. Apply the cloth to the affected area and cover with a piece of plastic that is larger in size than the cotton cloth. Place a heating pad over the plastic. Retain for one-half to two hours as needed.

Most restaurants use sulfites to preserve the salads, avocado dip, cut or sliced fruit, cole slaw, canned or frozen shellfish, canned mushrooms, sauces and gravies, soups, pickles, frozen French fries, potato chips, wine vinegar, cider, potatoes, baked goods, sausages, beer, and wines. Sulfites can be found in any type of food. Some people have had severe attacks after consuming foods containing sulfites; even death can result.

Sulfitic agents include sodium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite, potassium bisulfite, and sulfur dioxide. These are commonly used to prevent discoloration and bacterial growth in foods.

Test strips are now available to help detect the presence of sulfites in foods. For information write to: Sulfitest, Center Laboratories, 35 Channel Drive, Port Washington, NY 11050, or call (800) 645-6335 or (516) 767-1800 if in New York. This chemically, treated paper strip turns red in the presence of sulfites or green in the absence of sulfites. The strips were developed by Barbara Markley of Kansas State University.
