What is Asthama?
Asthama/Allergic asthama is a disease categorised by breathing problem which is caused by the swelling of trachea due to allergens and other factors. The trachea or airduct that connects your throat to your lungs gets constricted and inflamed thereby reducing the passage of air. The inner layers produces more mucus to combat the allergens thereby further blocking the trachea.
These factors may be various air pollutants, dust particles, pollen grains, molds etc, tobacco smoke, respiratory irritants such as perfumes and cleaning products, exposure to cold and dry weather etc.
Remedial measures
The most effective remedy for asthama is in the everyday use of honey in small quantities.
Take one tablespoon of honey in warm water four times a day. Morning just after you wake up, before lunch, at evening tea (take tea with honey instead of sugar) and before going to bed in the night.
Another preventive measure is by eating roasted grams at night and taking a glass of warm milk after that.
A glass of warm milk with a teaspoon of turmeric in it will also help. This may be a bit difficult for some people to drink. To make it better add hone to it.
Make a paste of warm ripe banana with a pinch of black pepper.(warm the banana over low flame before peeling it). This paste will give you instant relief at the time of asthama attack.
Eat some thoroughly washed holy basil leaves with some black salt sprinkled on it.
Making a paste of fresh turmeric with honey and eating it is very effective remedy for asthama patients.
A mixture of rock salt and mustard oil if rubbed on the chest at night is effective to avoid asthama attack.
Taking a glass of limejuice with a teaspoon of ginger juice is also a good remedy.
Take a cup of water and boil it with some cloves in it. Strain it and add a tablespoon of honey to it and sip this as warm as you can like tea.
Last but not the least which I have tried myself is taking ayurvedic syrup- Vasakamadhu four times a day. This treatment has proved worth for me. Now I am no more a patient of allergic asthama.
