breatheHave you ever tried any alternative treatments for your asthma? Did you even know there were some?

Most health care professionals treat asthma with inhalers and prescription medications. And if those things are working for you, then by all means continue your course of action.

However, if you’re interested in handling asthma naturally, there are some home remedies that may help.

  • Honey - This works best with fresh honey. Just open a container of honey and breathe - inhaling deeply. Do this until you feel yourself breathing easier. The results will usually last for about hour.
  • Turmeric - Turmeric and milk has been used over the years as a way to prevent asthma attacks. Mix 1 teaspoon turmeric with 1 cup of milk and drink 2 or 3 times a day.
  • Vegetables - Carrots, green leafy vegetables like spinach and tomatoes have all been shown to reduce asthma symptoms. Eating them on a regular basis can help control asthma.
  • Boswellia - The herb boswellia has been shown to help keep your airways open. Check out the health food store for a supplement.
