Relieve Asthma with Coffee

You, who suffer from asthma must have experienced a sudden asthma attack. Worse yet! Your medication stocks runs out. What would you do if that happened? Go to the hospital alone? Or maybe, call your personal doctor? What if the distance of the hospital with your house are too far away? Or, your personal doctor is still treating other patients, in places far far away from your home? You might have run out of breath when help arrives.
But there is a quick solution when asthma attack, or when you ran out of medication, or you forgot to bring it. And remember, this is only prevention for emergencies only!

So, how? You have coffee at home? If yes, then you have a chance to relieve your asthma attacks. Drinks coffee and soft drinks containing caffeine (cola)! Because, caffeine expand bronchial airway, in another word it opens the breathing airway. Doctors have known about the beneficial effects of coffee that was able to treat asthma since at least 1859 (Edinburgh Medical Journal). Research and statistics have shown that caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms (New England Journal of Medicine, March 22, 1984). This dose is about 3 cups of strong coffee for an average adult, and 1 cup for children. What I mean is black coffee, without any mixture, only coffee and hot water only.
Caffeine related with teofilin, a drug of ancient asthma. Consequently, decaffeinated coffee would not work. The instant coffee contain fewer caffeine than brewed coffee, so you may require some more cups for relieving your asthma attack.
You do not have to rely on caffeine to control asthma. Although it can help during an emergency, prescription drugs offer better assistance, better more are homemade asthma herbs. If I may say,
it is also a good idea we get into the habit, drinking a cup of brewed coffee every day, it really can reduce the occurrence of asthma attacks. And that's if you like. Drink up !
