Herbs for Asthma

There are many herbs available for asthma treatment and relief from the symptoms of asthma. The quantity and type that are used are up to the individual and of course based on your symptoms. Herbal tea has been used by the Chinese for thousands of years and can work wonders when used in relation to asthma relief. Many chemists and internet stores sell herbal tea in tea bag form or you can buy the leaves and infuse the tea yourself. 3 or 4 cups a day of Chamomile (antihistamine), Ginger (controls allergic reactions), Green (opens bronchial passages) and Hyssop (relieves respiratory congestion) would be beneficial for sufferers.

Herbal tinctures are concentrated extracts of the herbs. They come in liquid form and are easy to use and administer by placing up to 3 drops under the tongue, or if it is too bitter, dilute with water or juice, 2 to 3 times a day. Breath Easy is one of the tinctures available and it contains Lobelia, Marshmallow, Mullien, Coltsfoot and Liqorice. Another popular tincture is Cough Calm and it contains Horehound, Elecampane, Comphrey Root, Wild Cherry Bark, Eucalyptus, Chickweed, Slippery Elm and Liqorice.

All things in moderation is the rule and follow instructions on any herbal remedies: although they are much safer than chemical medication recommended by your health care professional. These are supplements and are not intended to replace medication.

Cardiac Asthma Cure

Cardiac asthma normally affects people during the night a few hours after going to bed, because lying down for long periods causes the lungs to fill with fluid. Relief is usually fairly quick when you sit up and the fluid drains away. If you have cardiac asthma you may also suffer from swollen ankles during the day, feel tired and suddenly put on weight. In all cases a doctor should be consulted, as it can be a life threatening condition.

The correct diagnosis of cardiac asthma is vital as the treatments can vary. If you have take too much bronchial medication and you in fact have cardiac asthma it can be very dangerous and worsen your illness and cause serious heart rhythms. Treatment involves diuretics( water pills) to help get rid of excess fluid and medication to improve the efficiency of the heart and control the night coughs.

Intrinsic Asthma Cure

Always talk to your doctor when you have an attack. It is difficult to identify the causes of intrinsic asthma but your doctor could help you identify the triggers and suggest ideas for avoiding them.

It is important to avoid cigarette smoke and if you smoke, stop. It has proved that second hand smoke will reduce the effectiveness of medication and can trigger more attacks.

Monitor your breathing as a decrease in lung in lung capacity below your normal level can indicate an attack is on the way. Use a peak airflow flow meter to monitor and warn of impending attack. Use medication at the first sign of an attack or when indicated by the airflow meter and the most severe attacks can be avoided. The best way of reducing attacks is to learn what triggers them and change your lifestyle accordingly and hopefully regain the quality of life you enjoyed before falling ill.
