Be careful about what kind of home remedies you choose
Asthmatics know how uncomfortable it can be to always have to rely on prescription medications and to suffer the side effects. That's why many asthma patients search the Internet to find any kind of alternative treatment. If you are one of these people, I am sure you have come across many sites that sell "The best home remedies for asthma". Does it sound familiar?
The question is: how great are these asthma home remedies that you can buy on the Internet? Well, in many cases they are not that good. Some may contain substances that can do you more harm than cure you. Before buying these remedies from the Internet you must be absolutely sure of what they contain, so ask for a doctor's opinion first.
If you can't trust over the counter drugs sold on the Internet, that doesn't mean there is no natural home remedy that can help you with your asthma.
Here are some home remedies that are safe to try without causing any harm to your organism:
Coffee
The caffeine in coffee opens-up your air passages helping you breathe easier. It is more effective if you drink your coffee hot, because the heat can dissolve the excessive mucus that blocks your air passages.
Tea or hot water
Drinking tea or just hot water can also help you ease your symptoms, because, by warming the airways, they can prevent asthma attacks.
Steamy bathroom
If you have an asthma attack and you don't have your nebulizer on you, try to steam up your bathroom and inhale the hot steam. Taking a very hot bath may also help you breath easier.
As you can see, there are some asthma home remedies that are both effective and safe, and they are even much cheaper than the alternative cures you can buy on the Internet.
