Doing breathing exercises at home can actually reduces asthma attack

People suffering from asthma usually have difficulty doing heavy physical exercise. Although it was just a light jog or exercise. So most asthmatics dont do sports. This is the wrong thing. Try to consider breathing excercise, it could work for asthma sufferer.

If we assume that physical activities such as exercise can trigger asthma attacks, it will be very difficult for us to achieve healthy balance in our lives. No matter whether people with asthma or not, any sports activities should still be done, in any circumstances.

In life, everything must be balanced. Diet, work activities, sports, recreation and leisure, everything must be in accordance with the extent of our ability. Particularly for people with asthma.

Doing proper breathing  exercises really do help us asthmatics and can reduce the risk of asthma attacks. Although it has not been proven completely on medical research, but I personally have seen many tangible evidence of this breathing method.

Talk about appropriate breathing exercise method, if it is performed on a regular basis, it can reduce the need for rescue inhaler. And, there are many ways and method to perform this breathing exercise by ourself.

But here, I would like to share my own method of breathing excercise. I have done this exercise for the past 3 years now. And also apply this to treat my wife too. It really brings significant result.

This is how I do the breathing exercise at home :

Me and my wife usually woke up in the morning , before the sun rises, we start by walking along the street and find the right spot to began the exercise. Standing up side by side with my wife, we starts with inhale and exhale freely. This is done for a minute and two. 

Next, the breathing exercise is done slower than the first one. Inhale and exhale slower, and with concentration. And at the same time, controling the abdoment. Inhale from the nose, and exhale by mouth. Try to harden the abdominal muscle, slowly but sure. Do this for about 2 to 3 minutes.

And for final exercise, and the hard one too. While inhale from the nose, try too keep abdominal muscle remain hard, as hard as possible, and exhale while your abdoment still hard. Try to keep this condition as long as you can. Perform this final exercise for about 5 minutes. 

Keep in mind, doing the exercise for the first time is usually hard. I would not recommend this methode to anyone. I only want to share what works for me and my wife. If in any chance you happens to be doing this breathing exercise, consider to consult with your doctor first.

If the method I share can actually reduces the asthma attack for asthmatic, than the goodness is not from me, trully it comes from yourself. Know yourself and you will know that the answer you are really looking for is right there, before you.

For me doing breathing exercise with my own method, can really reduce my bourden.

Inhaler for asthma, not a homemade type

This one is definitely not a homemade one, but only to be prepared before the worst thing come. May it will never come, I hope. Many people who suffers from asthma will always carry an inhaler. Just in case of sudden attack of asthma.

For me personally, I consider asthma as part of my life story. It may will never end for the rest of my life. But all thing has its own reason to happen. And  I am still greatfull to be given the ability and strength to accompany my wife to deal with her asthma.

Inhaler for asthma has became the primary need on my monthly list. It was Berotec, given by our trusted doctor, to my beloved spouse. It almost like ,  the first defend system in the front line, when the asthma attack occure. And I thank to God it works.

As we know, Berotec Inhaler does not cure asthma, it only eradicate the attack symtoms. And if we are aware, the use of inhaler in a long term is not advisable, by any doctor. So do not rely on inhaler all the time. The best thing to do is to keep fighting the disease in any kind of methode possible, mentally and spiritually.

There are no certainty in what we do for us or our beloved one to be free from asthma, but there is always a way out from any kind of trouble. Let's believe in cause and effect.

It would be a good thing to have a supply of inhaler in home, but it would be better if we do not rely on this type of medication. Beside, natural and homemade remedies can be the more better solutions.

Homemade salt inhaler for astma relief

Salt inhaler for asthma ? To be honest, this is the first time i heard about this kinda thing. It is said that it can treat asthma sufferer. But I have not yet prove this methode. Recently i read an article about this, maybe you should too.

So far i didnt find any medical explanation about this so called salt therapy for asthma. But many sites on the net are discussing about it. And this is making me interested to try this methode on my wife.

The thing about this salt therapy is you can make it for inhaler, someway to replace the inhaler from your doctor prescription. Many said this methode is not expensive, on some level, maybe.

As anonymously said through out the web, it is said in the 18th century, Polish salt miners were documented as having noticeably better immune systems, lung health, and sinus clarity compared to their families. If the salt miners did happen to come down with a respiratory condition, the symptoms were mild and recovery time was fast. All of this was attributed to inhaling salt on a daily basis.

Or maybe spend a day at the beach can result the special healing properties of salt, if this is what they meant with salt therapy. 

The goal is to find mean of treatment for asthma sufferer, in any kind. But this methode is still blurry. By making homemade salt inhaler to overcome asthma, a lot of people hope to suppress the cost they have taken out of their pocket. I am sure a lot of people out there, who has proven this kind of treatment, and succesfully overcome the asthma attack has trully found the right methode.

But we cannot be certain that salt inhaler is suitable for our condition. The best way is to confirm what we are doing with the right person, our doctor. But, for others who might think this methode is suitable and willing to give it a shot, please do tell me the results.

Asthma Attack Without an Inhaler: 9 Steps That Could Save Your Life

Coffee and tea contain a chemical similar to the old asthma medicine theophylline. The amount may be too small to do much prevention, but they could be worth a try. (See step 7.)

by James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H.

I’ve never had a patient die of an asthma attack while I’m treating them, but a few have come close. I’ll never forget their desperate looks, their not being able to breath in enough air, and the relief that comes over them (and me) get when the attack is over.

Although asthma is a serious disease (over 3,000 asthmatics die in the U.S. each year), I see fewer and fewer people having severe attacks these days because of the array of excellent medications available. But what would you do if you had an asthma attack without an inhaler? What steps could you take to prevent or treat one when all the prescription medicines were gone?

Sonya asked it another way on my Facebook page: “Are there any natural cures for asthma flair-ups?”

The short answer is there’s nothing natural that works as well as prescription medicines for asthma. Over-the-counter Primatene Mist used to be a sort-of alternative—fraught with side effects—but it’s off the market.

Even so, there are a few things that may help. Here are nine suggestions for how to prevent or treat an asthma attack without an inhaler. You need to start preparing now.

1. Know what triggers your attacks.

• Smoking is a given. You must stop, and avoid secondhand smoke if at all possible.
• Allergies are another big trigger. Find what you’re allergic to and avoid it. Allergy medicines may help prevent an attack. One that’s often overlooked but effective is the over-the-counter nasal inhaler chromolyn sodium (NasalCrom). Oral antihistamines can also help, but they can dry up the mucus-membrane lining of your lungs too much and make some people’s asthma worse. As always, check with your doctor.
• Exercise is a common trigger. Warming up slowly may help.
• Emotional stress can be a trigger. Learn relaxation techniques.

2. Learn breathing techniques. There’s promising evidence from some small studies that proper-breathing exercises may help prevent attacks. These techniques take days to weeks to learn properly. Check with your doctor for guidance. The three generally recommended are:

• Buteyko technique
• Papworth method
• Pranayama yoga breathing

3. Maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly. Both have been shown to help prevent attacks.

4. Eat fruits and vegetables for antioxidants that can boast your immunity, and fish or fish oil for its anti-inflammatory effect.

5. Drink plenty of water to keep the lining of your lungs hydrated.

6. Cover your nose and mouth around smoke and other air irritants, and in cold weather.

7. Consider drinking coffee or tea. Both contain a chemical similar to the old asthma medicine theophylline. (These days, there’s usually better medicine with fewer side effects, but theophylline worked.) Many doctors deduce, however, that the amounts in these drinks are too small to do much good, but seems to me they’re worth a try. Don’t go overboard. You’re probably drinking a cup or two a day already, and that’s plenty.

8. Store the over-the-counter oral decongestant pseudoephedrine (Sudafed). It may help during an attack. Be sure to know its potential side effects, such as increasing your heart rate and blood pressure, and causing urinary problems in anyone with an enlarged prostate.

9. Here’s a must. Keep epinephrine, like an Epipen, on hand. Sure it works for allergic reactions, but it works for asthma attacks without an inhaler too. Of course, get to a medical facility, but if that’s not possible, have epinephrine around for emergencies. If all else fails, it could be a lifesaver.

Please, ask your doctor before trying any of these things. Never use these as an alternative to prescription medicines. Don’t risk your life.

If you’ve tried the breathing exercises, I’d love to know how they’ve worked for you—that and any further suggestions to deal with an asthma attack without an inhaler that I’ve left off.
