Living with asthma

For many people asthma is a condition with which they will have to live with all their lives. They will have to get used to being caught by surprise by an asthma attack. Yet, learning how to live with asthma is not an easy thing to do and even for asthmatics who have long dealt with disease coping with it is difficult. 

The first thing that you will have to do after you discover your asthma is to make sure you take your medicine whenever you have to . Not taking them may have serious consequences and sometimes results in even more serious symptoms and an aggravation of this condition, as the inflammation starts developing immunity to medicine, of these are not taken regularly. 


Then, you will have to tell all those living and working besides you that you are an asthmatic and that you may need help in case of an attack. Suffering from this ailment is not a shame, so keeping it to yourself will not help you in any way. Instead of trying to hide your state of health from the others, explain them what they should do in case of emergency and how should they react if you are not feeling well. 


It is also highly important that you do not stop doing all your current activities. You will be encouraged to get out of the house and do physical movement. Even though it may be a little more difficult at the beginning, especially for those suffering from exercise-induced asthmatics, things will get easier and more fun with time. Time will also make the medicine routine easier and will make you understand better your condition. 

What is highly important is to never give it up. Asthma is an ailment which with you can live. There have not been reported any people who have died because of asthma, so you will not have to panic about this either. Moreover, if you have a healthy nutrition, make regular exercises and take your medicine in due time, you condition may improve and you will be able to live your life as an active, normal person for a long period of time.

How to treat asthma naturally

Asthma sufferers heavily rely on medicine to keep their condition under control. They use inhalers in case of emergency and specific medicine on a daily basis. However, the overuse of these medicines can significantly affect the human body, as there are many counter indications which, in time, will harm the body and make it even more sensitive to external factors. But what if you could obtain the same results as when taking medicine, but without having those dangerous side effects? What if you could live your normal life and treat your condition in a natural way, without being necessary to ingest all kinds of chemical? Would this not be great? 

Well, I think that most asthmatics will surely enjoy the possibility of totally removing the medicines from their lives and start a new life by treating their condition using herbs. This thing is possible and it has been done from long time by other cultures. There are two main mixes of herbs which can help asthmatics live their life the natural way, without chemical drugs which were temporary alleviating their suffering, but had disastrous effects on the long run.


The first mix of herbs is one highly used in Middle East countries, which consists of chamomile, cinnamon, sage, black cumin seeds, cloves, rosemary, spearmint and thyme, as well as other similar herbs with therapeutic effects. This combination of herbs has been used for centuries in Middle East countries to treat asthma or at least alleviate its symptoms.


The other herb combination which is believed to have great effects upon the human body and offer great results in treating asthma is the mixture called Saiboku-To. This mixture, which has its origins in Asia contains ten herbs, from which the best known are ginger, magnolia, Baikal skullcap, licorice and Korean ginseng. Most of the patients which have been treated using this Asian blending of herbs reported serious improvement in their conditions and reductions in their steroidal medication.

If you suffer from asthma, you should definitely try at least one of these blends. They have the advantage of being 100% natural and of not presenting any side effects which may damage or affect your health in a negative way.
