Kefir or kephir (/kəˈfir/ kə-feer),[1][2] alternatively milk kefir, or búlgaros, is a fermented milk drink made with kefir "grains" (a yeast/bacterial fermentation starter) and has its origins in the north Caucasus Mountains.[3] It is prepared by inoculating cow, goat, or sheep milk with kefir grains.[4] Traditional kefir was made in skin bags that were hung near a doorway; the bag would be knocked by anyone passing through the doorway to help keep the milk and kefir grains well mixed.[5] (source : wikipedia)
Fighting
asthma seems totally impossible for most people. That is if you give up on the
state, without trying to find solutions for treating asthma that you suffered.
Every
disease has a cure, but not all of the same drug can cure the same sickness.
This is due to many factors that influence the patient sick.
As
with asthma. Every person who suffers from asthma, has different conditions in
many respects. So that the medicine given by doctors was sometimes different
between asthmatics with each other.
It has
come to my attention over the years. When looking for a cure for asthma
suffered by my wife, I tried to pay attention to the specific information I get
about the treatment of asthma.
And
at that time, my father provide information that could change the conditions of
my wife's health. My father told me about kefir grains and benefits. And one of
the benefits that exist in kefir grains are able to alleviate the symptoms of
asthma and eases breathing.
In
2007, researchers studied the effect of milk kefir on asthmatic mice. They
found that kefir was able to significantly control asthma and the inflammatory
response that happens in the respiratory tract. Kefir also reduced the
production of mucus.
Indeed,
researchers found that kefir was more effective than common anti-asthmatic
drugs.
However,
I do not recommend milk if you have a condition where mucus is produced, such
as a cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, etc. Once the condition improves,
fermented milk kefir is a better choice than milk—after the sugar is consumed
by the beneficial microbes, it becomes far less mucus-forming.
I
have done this therapy to my wife, asking her to drink milk kefir twice a day,
morning after breakfast and at night before bed.
In
my experience, the consumption of milk kefir for people with asthma can not be
to treat an asthma attack. Milk kefir itself serves as a supplement for people
with asthma. So that the effect of the treatment is in long term.
