Learn the Remedies for Handling Your Asthma
It goes without saying that asthma has proven to be a very debilitating hindrance to optimal health.
Considering that breathing is the very essence of life and for this disease to hinder its natural process, knowledge of effective tips on remedies for asthma is needless to say a huge necessity.
Now, these tips can be applied just by anyone and the other good news is they are very low-cost and just as they have worked for me, they very well could be the answer to your problems with asthma.
Let's start with some simple breathing techniques.
The author of the Complete Illustrated Book of Yoga, Swami Vishnu Devananda attested to curing many patients with asthma symptoms by correcting their breathing habits and with the introduction of a proper diet and exercise.
Based on my experiences, I will now provide you with similar and up to date information on the tried-and true techniques and methods of attaining successful and alternative asthma treatment techniques.
1. Inhalation and Exhalation:
-Either laying flat on a bed or sitting erect commence to breathing deeply, using a stop-watch or metronome to keep track of the time. The desired ratio here is 1:2. Minimum time for inhalation should be 4 seconds gradually building up to 16. (With the time for exhalation now being 8 seconds gradually building up to 32) consciously perform this exhilarating exercise for several weeks.
2. Inhalation-Retention-Exhalation:
-When you are properly established in exercise #1 the next stage included is retention. In ancient yogic texts, the required ratio would be 1:4:2 (inhalation, retention and exhalation) The minimum schedule again for this exercise is 4 seconds, gradually building up to a maximum of 16 seconds (inhalation that is) Practice this for several days or weeks till you master it and it becomes second nature.
Although, from the indications above, you'd notice that more emphasis is laid on proper breathing over diet as a step for a natural asthma treatment, do keep in mind that it is advised that you avoid Mucus-Forming foods such as Animal flesh and products, Most Grains, Junk and Processed Foods and even some so-called health-food products like Soy, Yeast, Bragg's Liquid Aminos and Vinegar.
Replace these items with Fruits, Leafy and Root Vegetables and if desired less harmful whole grains like Brown rice, Quinoa, Amaranth and Millet occasionally.
Furthermore, proper food combination and the abstinence from drinking liquids of any kind with your meals is suggested as these will see to it that the diaphragm is not constricted by a clogged up digestive tract consequently making breathing much freer and smoother.
In addition, make the effort to avoid the use of microwaves, conventionally grown produce and polluted tap water for your optimal health.
Though I humbly, yet proudly present these guidelines in controlling your asthma, of course your own discretion is advised in regards to these suggestions on natural, yet effective remedies for this respiratory disease
