Some more useful foods as asthma home remedies

Here is a newly published article outlining some of the foods with properties useful as asthma home remedies, including figs, bananas, garlic, honey, and coffee. As I always say, these may be very useful adjuncts for a patient of Heilkunst medicine, while they are working on removing the underlying causes towards permanently curing asthma.

Allergy fact
About 80% of children and 50% of adults with asthma also have allergies.

Irritants

• Respiratory infections, such as those caused by viral “colds,” bronchitis, and sinusitis
• Drugs, such as aspirin, other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and beta blockers (used to treat blood pressure and other heart conditions)
• Tobacco smoke
• Outdoor factors, such as smog, weather changes, and diesel fumes
• Indoor factors, such as paint, detergents, deodorants, chemicals, and perfumes
• nighttime
• GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disorder)
• Exercise, especially under cold dry conditions
• Work-related factors, such as chemicals, dusts, gases, and metals

Did you know that Asthma is the most common chronic illness affecting children?  Asthma is more common among boys than it is among girls. In 2004, 7 percent of males under age 18 were reported to have asthma, compared with 4 percent of females.  At least one-third of the

24.7 million people diagnosed with asthma are children under the age of 18.  Asthma is the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under age 15.  The percentage of children with asthma has increased over the past two decades, from 3percent in 1981 to 6 percent in 2002, where it remained through 2004.

People most commonly use an inhaler as their asthma remedy.  Some possible side effects of using an inhaler are: Headache, Cough, irritated or runny nose, feelings of rapidly or forcefully beating hear (heart Palpitations), muscle or bone pain, throat irritation, upper respitory tract infections, nausea, nervousness and vomiting.  Using the inhaler as an asthma remedy does not trigger these possible side effects in everyone, but why not try something that has zero side effects, especially for children.

I would like to share a storey with you of how a young boy is using doTerra essential oils as his asthma remedy.  This young boy loves to play outside and be active like most children.  But his activity was greatly restricted due to his Asthma.  Medication is what he used for his asthma remedy until his mother was introduced to doterra essential oils.  This young boy happened to be in the middle of an allergic Asthma attack when a friend was visiting who happened to have her essential oils with her.   Instead of giving him his scheduled Asthma Remedy of an albuterol treatment, they opted to try the Breathe oil. Within minutes he stopped coughing and has whole-heartedly requested the essential oils instead of his treatments ever since then.

This young boy actually went two entire months without an inhaler or steroids. Recently his school nurse administered his inhaler without calling the mother first and it actually brought on more symptoms instead of relieving them.  This young boy chooses oils for his asthma remedy and is hooked on the power of essential oils. They diffuse Breathe at night and apply it to his chest as needed.  They love the oils!

It is always recommended to progress with allergy treatment (and in turn natural asthma relief) under the care of a licensed medical practitioner.

This is very interesting to us, as we have been investigating the use of various essential oils as a form of treatment for asthma. The subject of “oils”, in general, forms a great spectrum of therapeutics, all the way from edible oils which supply correct nutrition for the body, all the way up to the highest forms of oils, which are essential oils, aimed at remediating the core “ego” conflicts that get wedged into the bio-energetic system.

Natural Remedies for Asthma

2) Omega Fatty Acids

One of the primary inflammation-causing fats in our diets is believed to be arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is found in certain foods, such as egg yolks, shellfish, and meat. Eating less of these foods is thought to decrease inflammation and asthma symptoms.

A German study examined data from 524 children and found that asthma was more prevalent in children with high levels of arachidonic acid.

Arachidonic acid can also be produced in our bodies. Another strategy to reduce levels of arachidonic acid is to increase intake of beneficial fats such as EPA (eicosapentanoic acid) from fish oil, and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) from borage or evening primrose oil.

Omega-3 fatty acid capsules are sold in drug stores, health food stores and online. Look for the active ingredients EPA and DHA on the label.

Omega-3 fatty acid capsules may interact with blood-thinning drugs such as warfarin (Coumadin) and aspirin. Side effects may include indigestion and bleeding. To reduce a fishy aftertaste after taking fish oil capsules, they should be taken just before meals.

The Omega-3 fatty acids put in another great performance here in the domain of asthma home remedies. As easy as it is to begin with a basis of good nutrition, it is often the thing that people avoid doing until they are desparate.
