Your Asthma Natural Treatment Guide

Asthma is an issue having to do with one’s airways, preventing them from getting the proper amount of air when breathing. Different instances of asthma have varying levels of severity, but most cases include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, and the potential for asthma attacks.

Intense symptoms and asthma attacks can be brought on by exercise, exposure to chemicals, and even allergies.

The trouble is that prescription asthma medication can be very expensive. While there’s no cure for asthma, these medications help to make life a little more bearable. We’re going to take a look at asthma natural treatment today, giving you some ideas on ways that you can avoid those prescription costs.

Let’s explore your natural options for treating asthma.

Ayurvedic Herbs

Ayurveda seeks to address the root causes of issues within the body. This approach is very different from that of Western medicine, which typically treats the symptom or treats the root cause in its own ways.

In the view of Ayurveda, asthma is an issue rooted in lifestyle and dietary habits. While chronic asthma can be hereditary, the matters of diet and lifestyle play a big role in keeping your pathways free of disease.

There are also mental and emotional factors that should be addressed for the person to make significant improvements in their symptoms of asthma. Some of the natural remedies offered by Ayurveda include pacifying Vata, Pitta and Kapha diets, aromatherapy to reduce symptoms, as well as various oil treatments.

Going through an effective Ayurvedic treatment almost always requires a little help from a trained practitioner.

Yastimadhu

Yastimadhu is a widely used herb with roots that serve a number of medicinal purposes. It’s used in numerous cultures across the globe but is most commonly found across Asia. 

Along with throat and breathing difficulties, yastimadhu is used to treat digestive issues and infections.

Tulsi

Tulsi is a close relative of basil and is often called “holy basil.” It’s meant to help the body adjust to stress, contributing to a greater sense of wellness. Its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties work well with asthma treatments. 

Haridra

Haridra, also known as Haldi, is effective at relieving congestion of the lungs and soothing the throat. Irritation is a big factor in asthma attacks, and a smoother airway is a big help. 

Many people mix a teaspoon of Haridra with black pepper to treat congestion and sore throats.

Pushkaramoola

Pushkaramoola is a powerful herb and can take care of a lot of issues other than asthma. That said, it has a particularly strong, soothing effect on the lungs and throat. 

Other uses include treatment of bloating, hiccups, fever, heart disease, and more.

Pippali

Pippali is a climbing plant that’s also known as Indian Long Pepper. It’s used to treat lung issues like asthma and fits of cough, but can also aid in proper digestion.

Other benefits include improved sleep, epilepsy, stomach aches, bodily pain, and more.

Black Pepper

Black pepper, the kind that’s sitting in a shaker on your counter, is great at breaking up mucus and phlegm that can irritate symptoms of asthma.

When used as a supplement, black pepper is also known to provide a number of other anti-inflammatory and mental health benefits.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon has strong anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it excellent at easing symptoms of respiratory illness and preventing some colds and viruses that might trigger asthma attacks. 

It’s also a great antioxidant and helps to reduce free radical formation that often leads to serious health complications.

Ginger

The exact way that ginger eases the respiratory system isn’t known, but it’s a time-tested fact that ginger eases the throat and lungs. Further, it doesn’t have any side effects or adverse complications when you use it. 

Incorporating ginger into your asthma treatment is a simple and easy way to improve symptoms. 

Garlic

Finally, garlic is another dietary staple that has long been used to soothe respiratory symptoms. It might not be as ginger or cinnamon in a cup of tea, but it will get the job done.

Its properties might have something to do with the amount of vitamin C it contains. Additionally, garlic helps the body produce prostacyclins, which help keep airways open. 

Ayurvedic Treatment Options

Ayurveda is comprised of numerous treatment methods, all of which approach health from a different angle. 

Panchakarma, for example, is a practice that involves a period of dietary cleanse, mindfulness, and slow reintroduction of your normal diet. A practitioner can help you understand the spiritual and physical significance of these practices as you go through them. 

Nasya is a practice that addresses the nasal passages and sinuses. Typically with the use of various medicinal oils, this practice helps to clear your airways and benefit a lot of the symptoms that asthma can produce. Additionally, Nasya is used to treat many of the ailments that occur above the shoulders. 

Virechana is a treatment that cleanses the individual from the abdominal and intestinal area. A lot of the toxins that enter our bodies get caught up in the intestines, leading to a variety of physical and mental disorders. 

All of these practices can be effective at helping symptoms of asthma if you work with a good practitioner and follow through with treatments.
