Home remedies for asthma attack

September 17th, 2007

Remember, Home remedies for asthma attack have not been proven yet and results could vary depending upon type of asthma attack but mentioned steps could have some positive effects in your quest for fighting with asthma:

1. Vitamin C: Free radicals are responsible for constricting airways and it increases sensitivity to potential allergens. Antioxidants like Vitamin C could counteract these effects by inhibiting bronchial constriction and histamine release. Natural Vitamin C is found in Indian gooseberry, citrus fruits, leafy greens and potatoes with skin.

2. Magnesium: Asthmatics are generally deficient in magnesium. Magnesium keeps airways open and relaxes bronchial smooth muscles. Magnesium could be found in leafy greens, nuts and pulses.

3. Sea Food: Fish reduces asthma severity. Anti inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids might be responsible in reducing symptoms of asthma by minimizing airway inflammation and responsiveness to asthma triggers. One has to be patient with this therapy as it could take up to 8-9 months before results could be observed.

4. Vitamin B: Vitamin B helps in regulating the immune system response to environmental triggers. Vitamin B also helps counter stress which could worsen asthma attack.
