The Do It Yourself Asthma Remedy
ByPaul Newland
Natural remedies for asthma may bring about
longer term relief from the disease which
is likely to be associated with a deficiency
of omega 3 essential fatty acids
Asthma is a respiratory disease that
is characterised by sudden onset with
closure of bronchial tubes by spasmodic
muscles. Atopic asthma has eczema as a
feature along with the respiratory disease.
This is a disease involving poor absorption
of omega three essential fatty acids and
deficiencies of manganese and magnesium.
A number of studies have confirmed the
increased likelihood of children developing
asthma if the maternal diet is low in
omega three oils and also the requirement
of minerals such as manganese and magnesium
for healthy lung function.
Natural remedies for asthma should include:
Pancreatic enzymes and ox bile at 75-200m
each three times per day before meals.
These will assist with digestion and absorption
of important nutrients
Essential fatty acids at 5g three times
per day.
Colloidal minerals - which contain magnesium
and manganese.
Herbs are very useful for treating asthma
- use caution if you have plant allergies.
Useful plant herbs include: honeysuckle,
jaborandi, leaks, garlic, evening primrose
oil.
Essential oils may be of significant
benefit as natural remedies for asthma
and may be inhaled or massaged into the
upper body. Oils include eucalyptus globulus
and eucalyptus radiata, peppermint, Ravensara
and Naiouli.
Along with these natural remedies for
asthma have an inhaler ready to cope with
any sudden attacks.
Preventing an attack.
Here's some factors that may trigger an
attack: cold air, salt and sudden over-exertion.
Healthy Diet & Lifestyle
A healthy diet should be part of your
natural remedies for asthma treatment
plan. An over-consumption of omega 6 (found
mainly in vegetable oils) and low consumption
of omega 3 oils found in deep sea, cold
water fish (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel)
and flax seed can increase the childhood
risk of asthma.
Best advice is to maximize the intake
of omega three oils from fish and EFA
supplements and avoid fried food and vegetable
oils. Consume plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables including green leafy vegetables
which will contain dietary sources of
manganese and magnesium. Also plenty of
water.
While you should exercise with caution,
a light to moderate amount of aerobic
exercise will help 'exercise the lungs'.
Swimming is especially helpful and should
be encouraged. Start any aerobic activity
slowly and build up.
Summary
Natural remedies for asthma include pancreatic
enzymes and ox bile to improve absorption,
high doses of essential fatty acids and
colloidal minerals.
Reduce he intake of fried food and vegetable
oils and increase consumption of essential
fatty acids, green leafy vegetables, fresh
fruit and water.
Swimming may be very helpful for asthma
sufferers
