I’ve suffered with asthma since childhood. I’ve convinced that it can’t be cured. I’ve learned to live with it but I’m sick of using inhalers and taking medication. Are there any safe and effective natural treatments for asthma that will control attacks and breathing without the use of drugs or inhalers?
A long time friend of mine has had asthma since she was a child. She battles with it to this day. I did a little research online and I found an article of a woman telling her story on how she controls her asthma condition naturally.
In the article she talks about changing her diet, eliminating preservatives and simply eating more healthy overall. She stopped consuming diary products. She then went on to limit or completely stop taking her medications that often had bad side effects. It seems like the combination of diet, exercise and cutting off medications contributed to her controlling her asthma naturally.
If you can identify what causing your asthma attacks, you can change your lifestyle and your asthma should improve. My friend, for example, eats what she wants, doesn’t exercise…there’s no wonder that she suffers from frequent asthma attacks! She’s very dependent on her medication and simply suffers even more from the side effects.
I think it’s great that you desire controlling your asthma naturally. I hope I’ve been of some help. You can read more of the woman’s story in the article which also includes professional advice from doctor. I’m going to email my stubborn girlfriend the article.
How do you know if you are hypersensitive to the pets in your home? There are a multitude of different causes and sometimes, it’s hard to discern which allergen might be the culprit to your allergies. It might take quite a bit of trial and error to find out, but here are several things to look out for.
Normally for pet allergy sufferers, they start sneezing badly once they’re nearby any cats or dogs, or when exposed to pet hairs left around the house – this is the first sign. Other common symptoms to look out for are also blocked noses or runny ones, not too much different from a cold really. It is easy to tell the difference between the two though as once you get away from the allergen, the symptoms will subside just as quickly as it came.
Just like people who are hyper-sensitive to pollen or dust mites, itchy or red eyes can also be attributed to allergies caused by pets. You might also experience tearing of the eyes as well and they can come about if you rub your eyes after touching a dog or a cat. To be more accurate, the pet hairs are not the culprit, but the pet dander.
What exactly is dander? The majority of animals constantly shed skin, just as we do and they’re microscopic in size. The allergic reactions arise when we inhale these tiny particles of animal skin.
If one of your family members owns a dog, you might want to ask him or her to retrain the dog and not allow it to climb on the household furniture. Also, make sure you clean the house frequently as well as steam clean the carpets on a regular basis to reduce the severity of allergic reactions.
Does this mean that allergy sufferers cannot own a dog or a cat? No, in fact, they can. If you decide that you really want to have a pet at home, you will need to select specific breeds of dogs or cats that are hypoallergenic – yes there is really such a thing. The Maltese and Australian Terrier are just 2 examples of hypoallergenic dogs.
If you already have a pet and you really don’t want to give it away, consider installing an air cleaner in your home to reduce airborne contaminants such as pet dander.
There are several types of purifiers in the market and you might find small portable air cleaners for your room, and larger units for the entire house.
And if you are out there to get a remedy for your allergy symptoms and to cleanse the air throughout your home, here is additional advice for whole house air purifiers together with other excellent manufacturers of dust air purifiers.
