Bronchial asthma and its treatment with folk remedies

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the upper respiratory tract (bronchi). It develops most often in infancy and goes away by fourteen to fifteen years. Asthma attacks are always accompanied by mucus production and narrowing of the airways, and they also vary in severity and duration. In particularly severe cases, excessive choking and swelling of the airways can be life-threatening. It is noteworthy that the disease is inherited, so it is considered “family”, but people who smoke are at particular risk. Over the past two decades, the spread of the disease has increased significantly, as has the mortality rate from it. At the same time, the disease itself has become much more dangerous than it was before, as evidenced by reports of hospitalization of asthma patients. However, today there is no effective drug treatment for this disease, so many people use proven folk remedies for bronchial asthma.

First manifestations of asthma

All manifestations of asthma can be divided into severe and mild attacks. In some people, the disease manifests itself in a mild form and is extremely rare, while in others, on the contrary, it is in a severe form and with complications. Here are the main signs that we recommend you pay attention to:

Uncharacteristic shortness of breath that appears for no reason;
Intermittent or constant wheezing;
Cough of varying duration and intensity;
Non-standard reaction of the body to external stimuli (dust, physical activity, crying);
Dry cough that appears only when running;
In children, the disease at an early stage often manifests itself through itching in the neck and chest;

In later stages, asthma can manifest itself through full-blown short-term or prolonged attacks, accompanied by coughing, whistling from the lungs, wheezing and suffocation. Moreover, in some cases, the duration of such attacks can reach two to three days.

Method 3. Pine buds, plantain, coltsfoot

Another folk remedy for treating asthma: make a collection in which pine buds (1/3 part), plantain leaves (1/3 part) and coltsfoot leaves (1/3 part) are present in equal weight shares.

Pine buds

Plantain

Infuse 5-6 tablespoons of the mixture in a liter of cold water for 2 hours. Then boil for 5 minutes, then leave again for a quarter of an hour and strain. Drink 200 ml of this decoction during the day in 3 doses. Used for bronchial asthma, whooping cough, bronchiectasis.

An effective folk remedy for asthma

There is a special balm that relieves attacks of illness and promotes a person’s recovery.
To prepare it, you need to mix medical alcohol, flower honey, aloe juice, sugar, beet juice, lemon juice, radish juice, cranberry and onion juice in equal proportions. For convenience, you can use faceted glasses. The finished mixture must be thoroughly mixed and refrigerated. The balm should be consumed three times a day, shortly before meals, two large spoons. You can get rid of bronchial asthma forever with the help of ammonia. It must be dissolved in fifty milliliters of boiled cow's milk or water and consumed two or three drops daily. For the first three days, the medicine must be taken continuously, with virtually no breaks. Some time after such treatment, sputum, mucus and possibly pus will begin to be released abundantly from the bronchi. However, even after this you should not stop treatment; it is necessary to continue it until a dramatic improvement occurs.

Folk remedy for treating asthma at home No. 2 – Therapeutic fasting

This terrible word is starvation. Many grandmothers understand that this is something abnormal; on the contrary, they force everyone to eat. After all, the idea is that the more I feed, the healthier the grandson, granddaughter, son or daughter will be, that’s not the point. Having gone through a war, there will naturally be a desire to appreciate food and eat more, to fill up what is not eaten. But now we will talk about the usefulness of proper therapeutic fasting.

There are people who are completely crazy. Once I went to a forum on fasting, and there was a guy there who had learned somewhere that fasting is beneficial, but didn’t really delve into the topic of how to properly enter and exit fasting and how long you can stay there according to individual standards. So he was on a 40-day fast - purely on water and almost died, and then he swore on the forum that it was all bullshit. There are such people.

But on the same forum, the girl got rid of the symptoms of asthma and asthma did not bother her. She did this with the help of fasting, and on the contrary, she was happy, unlike that guy.

So, who is to blame that people don’t know how to use the tool?

In the USSR there was a research institute on fasting, and so there were various kinds of experiments and constant discoveries in the field of curing diseases were recorded.

One example:

a guy came with an ulcer - he went hungry - the ulcer healed.

By the way, my father was on a fast for a week, although instead of water he drank vodka and he had an ulcer, in general it healed, and the doctors were shocked... But now I remember this incident and laugh)) I don’t encourage you to drink alcohol to be starving, because at that time he was seriously damaging his liver. And now he has left the world due to liver cancer.

There was a case where a mental patient began to fast and became normal. (i.e. it works even on a mental level)

In general, wonderful changes occur during therapeutic fasting.

How it works?

We need to remember nature. That's when an animal, a cat, for example, starts to get sick. First of all, what's going on? He stops eating, so he begins to recover. Those. This is inherent in nature and a person has this feeling similar to a cat. That when we are sick, we don’t have hunger; on the contrary, we don’t want to eat.

Here, there are studies that describe that the human body, after a certain number of hours without food, begins to cleanse the body, fat burning begins, the internal fire increases, which cleanses the body of everything unnecessary and cell regeneration is in full swing.

Hence the recovery of the body.
Hence the ancient traditions of fasting; fasting is carried out differently in different religions, but they exist. And they seem to emphasize the importance of depriving yourself of food for a short period of time.

There are different types of fasting: there is dry fasting, there is fasting on water, there is fasting on liquid food (vegetables, fruits, herbal juices or infusions). There will be a more detailed debriefing in other articles.

Thus, fasting is a very cool folk remedy for healing the body from asthma at home.

Breathing exercises against asthma

As a result of disruption of the functional activity of the respiratory tract in bronchial asthma, the human body suffers from a lack of oxygen (hypoxia), which affects the functioning of all its organs and systems. At the same time, there are supporters of traditional treatment of bronchial asthma using the Buteyko method. They believe that one of the reasons leading to the development of bronchial asthma is a decrease in alveolar ventilation of carbon dioxide.

The main goal in the treatment of bronchial asthma using breathing exercises according to Buteyko is to increase the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air of the lungs, which allows in a very short time to reduce swelling of the bronchial mucosa, reduce the increased tone of the smooth muscles of the bronchial wall and, accordingly, eliminate the manifestations of the disease.

The method involves the use of breathing exercises aimed at reducing alveolar hyperventilation. During breathing exercises, a person is forced to gradually reduce the depth of inspiration using various breathing techniques.

You can read more about breathing exercises according to Buteyko in the section “For people about people.” At the time of publication of the current article, there is material on this topic. Its title: “Should You Breathe Deeper?” In the future, in this section there will be a group of articles about the VLGD method (volitional elimination of deep breathing) using Buteyko techniques.

In any case, whether classical recipes or folk remedies are used in the treatment of asthma, it is necessary to provide a person suffering from asthma with hypoallergenic living conditions, an active physical regimen, and gentle nutrition with the exception of allergenic foods. And also limit as much as possible harmful environmental irritants (smoking, strong odors) and negative emotional influences. By the way, in this context it would not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with folk recipes for getting rid of allergies.

Well, now let’s move directly to traditional methods of treating bronchial asthma:

Useful tips

If you have just recently received a disappointing diagnosis, and you know absolutely nothing about your disease, we recommend visiting a special school for asthmatics. It will tell you in detail about your disease and give you basic recommendations. In addition, you will be able to meet similar patients and learn from their experiences and receive valuable advice.

Try to test daily using a peak flow meter. This simple device is designed to measure peak expiratory flow. With its help, you can assess the condition of the pulmonary system and judge the effectiveness of treatment.
