 INTRODUCTION

E VEN TODAY, ASTHMA REMAINS A POORLY MISUNDERSTOOD TOPIC.

Often thought to be a childhood problem, the truth is that it can be triggered

at any age. Statistically, the majority of people who suffer from asthma are
adults.

Some think it is no worse than a cold or the flu. For those who have
experienced asthma, though, it can be a frightening and very uncomfortable
occurrence.

Simply put, asthma is a condition that affects the airways and breathing of the
person who has it.
I
II ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

It is triggered when the airway comes into contact with something that
irritates the lining, causing it to become inflamed and begin to swell.

The airways narrow even more due to the eventual build-up of mucus.

This narrowing has a constrictive effect on the airways causing the difficulty in
breathing that we know as asthma.

The wheezing, shortness of breath and feelings of tightness in the chest

becomes so common in asthma that it can easily fill the person with a sense of
real fear, making them feel as if they are being asphyxiated.

The triggers for asthma vary from person to person, depending on individual
sensitivity. What might irritate one asthmatic sufferer may be completely
harmless to another.

An important element in asthma control is learning about your individual

triggers and then avoiding them as much as possible.
 Introduction III

Sometimes the asthma trigger may be obvious - pet dander, cat or dog hair, for
example - After exposure to such things, the asthma symptoms will soon
follow.

But often the trigger may not be at all obvious, only producing symptoms
much later, in what is know as a delayed reaction.

The very first thing to do when experiencing any kind of difficulty with
breathing is to consult a medical doctor.

Nowadays, advanced treatments can offer the asthmatic person the

opportunity to live a normal and full life.

Following a diagnosis of asthma, an inhaler or nebulizer is often prescribed

which can be used in order to calm inflammation and lessen the severity of the
reaction to the trigger.

Sometimes preventer medication and or steroids are advised in order to deal

with acute symptoms.

Studies have shown that physical activity plays and important part in asthma
prevention, but it is believed that fully 80% of asthma sufferers do not get
sufficient exercise.

Maintaining a healthy weight, combined with physical exercise helps to

improve lung function, easing breathing.

Eating a well-balanced, healthy diet, including a variety of different fresh fruit

and vegetables can help enormously in controlling asthma.

In addition, specific foods have been proven to protect against asthma and to
help with lung function.

Research has shown that eating foods rich in vitamin C such as strawberries,
kiwis and citrus fruit may have a significant, protective effect on asthma's
respiratory symptoms.
IV ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

An Italian study that followed 18,000 children discovered that those consuming
the greatest amount of vitamin C-containing fruit had enormous 44% fewer
experiences of respiratory difficulty than children eating less of this kind of
fruit.

Further, breath shortness was lessened

by 32% and chronic cough by 25%.

The study found that children who had

already been diagnosed with asthma
when the study began benefitted the
most.

Even amongst those children who ate

fruit only once or twice a week fruit's
protective effects were evident.
 Introduction V

Dutch research has confirmed these findings, demonstrating that people who
ate the most fruit and vegetables had the healthiest lung function.

Foods rich in vitamin E and C are believed to help reduce the inflammatory
response in the lungs of those who suffer from asthma.

Stress management can also be vital in asthma attacks prevention.

Learning relaxation techniques and knowing how to de-stress can be of

enormous help.

A really effective way of letting go of stress is by listening to therapeutic self-

hypnosis recordings specifically designed for the purpose.

If you have been diagnosed with asthma, then follow your doctor's instructions.

Learn your particular triggers, combine this understanding with exercise,

healthy eating and stress management and you can lead a fully active, normal
and healthy life.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF
FROM ASTHMA

P ROCESSED FOODS AND SOME VITAMINS AND MEDICATIONS MAY

contain food coloring and additives that can worsen asthma.

Yellow dye or tartrazine for example, is well known for provoking attacks.

Asthma attacks may also be triggered by a high-salt diet, and some studies
have shown that reducing salt intake can enhance pulmonary function.

Some people are sensitive to foods that trigger mucous production in the body,
especially dairy and wheat.

 How To Protect Yourself From Asthma 5

Additionally, excess dietary tryptophan can aggravate respiratory conditions.

Foods high in tryptophan include turkey, chicken, dairy products, soy and
seafood.

Vitamin C is important is reducing asthma attacks. It is able to stop bronchial

constriction and reduce histamine production and release.

It also helps to lower histamine levels, after histamine is released into the
blood.

So take between 2000 mg to 4000 mg per day. Spread them out to 3 times per
day with each meal.

Use Ester C if other Vitamin C supplements give you stomach problems. If you
have diarrhea when taking vitamin C, just back off on the amount you are
taking, until you have no more diarrhea.

Begin your day with a glass of boiled purified water and sip at least one litre
throughout the day.

Bathe every evening and add a generous handful of both Epsom and Glauber's
salts to warm water. Rinse the neck and shoulders each morning in cold water.

If you can, immerse the whole body in a bath of cold water in the morning. Eat
your main meal of the day at lunch time.

Eliminate or greatly reduce potential allergens such as the dairy products and
replace with almond milk or soy products.

Buy unyeasted breads, eliminate wheat, barley and rye gluten products, and
cut out peanuts.

Reduce or eliminate sodas and sweets, even reduce fruit that is too
concentrated with natural sugars such as dried fruit.

Juices should always be watered down for kids, anyway.

6 ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

Reduce salt intake and cut out artificial sweeteners, and check your labels for
additives and other unnatural colors, etc.

More natural foods are better for everyone, not just asthmatics. A low salt diet
may reduce bronchial sensitivity and improve asthma status as well.

Remember, work with the child on all levels because emotional distress is also
an important asthma trigger that is often overlooked.

Yamoa is an herbal powder treatment for Asthma, which is derived from the
bark of an African gum tree.

It is available in capsule and has been typically used to help asthma. It has a
good history of helping asthma sufferers.

Exercise helps some people with asthma and breathing conditions as it

strengthens and improves endurance and reduces breathlessness to some
extent.

Some breathing exercises may help improve lung function and can be learnt by
working with a respiratory therapist.

When learning breathing techniques,

it is important to work with an
appropriately trained professional
because the techniques are not good
for everyone.

Consume lots of fruits, vegetables,

and whole grains. Maintain a healthy
weight.

Try to drink at least 8-12 cups water

daily.
 3
TREATING ASTHMA

A STHMATICS USUALLY BRING ASTHMA INHALERS WITH THEM.

In case of asthmatic attack, the inhaler is crucial to provide immediate therapy.

An attack is an emergency and should be given prompt attention lest the

condition may worsen.

Asthma inhalers have ingredients that relieve the inflamed lungs and
respiratory parts that become constricted during an asthma attack.

Bronchospasm is the most common effect of an attack. Inhalers take

immediate effect on the airways thus is more preferred than oral medications.

7
8 ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

Beside the asthma inhaler, there are also other treatments available. The type
of treatment, however, is a case to case basis.

You should always consult with your doctor on which type of treatment is most
appropriate for you.

Treatment for a person is not always the right one for another. It always
depends on the causes, triggers, risk factors, severity of condition, and overall
health of the person.

Every person should be closely monitored after seeing a doctor so that proper
treatment and care is given to the asthmatic person.

There should be a asthma management plan worked out with your doctor. A
good treatment plan may include being desensitized from agents that cause
the signs of asthma.
 Treating Asthma 9

Others may require certain medications that are meant to control the severity
and frequency of the attacks.

Since asthma is a chronic condition, there is no absolute cure for it. The best
thing you can do is to find a treatment plan that is most appropriate to your
specific condition.

Work out a management plan that will prevent asthma attacks and give
emergency cure when one happens.

Your plan should both be to prevent and to provide immediate relief. Ensure
that you understand the uses and precautions of inhalers and nebulizers.

Be guided accordingly on how to properly use each agent and what are the
emergency measures to watch out for.

Have an open communication with your doctor and ask all the questions and
doubts you have in mind.

Clarify all issues and seek proper advice. Do not self-medicate and do not
presume. It is always best to be safe.
10 ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

Ask and make sure you understand.

Treating asthma is possible and can be effective if one only knows how to ask
and seek prompt guidance from authorized persons like the doctor and care
provider such as a nurse who is experienced and well-trained with asthma
cases.

It can also help to research and read materials and seek clarifications as needed.

Lose Weight to Overcome Asthma

O BESITY IS PROBABLY THE MOST SPREAD DISEASE AROUND ALL OVER

the world.

Even though obesity is not among those conditions with pain and suffering as
their main characteristic, it is still deadly.

The reason for which many people label obesity as a disease is because it can
cause multiple complications which can be fatal for some people.

11
12 ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

Thus, even though you feel good in your skin and would not even think about
starting a diet, it is absolutely necessary to start burning that fat if you want to
have a healthy body.

The necessity of having a normal weight is even more acute when you suffer of
asthma.

Studies have shown that obese people are more prone to asthma attacks than
the asthma sufferers which have a normal weight.

Thus, a diet is the first step you will have to take in order to treat your asthma.

First of all, a lower body weight will lower down the high body pressure. Most
overweight and obese persons suffer from high blood pressure.
 Treating Asthma 13

This, in time can prove to be very dangerous for the individual, so it is advisable
that you keep your body pressure within the normal limits.

For most obese people this means losing some pounds.

Losing weight will also lower down the amount of glucose from one's body,
thus reducing the risk of diabetes.

In addition to that, lower body fat will lead to lower cholesterol, which will be
felt in your everyday activities.

Thus, apart from feeling good in your skin and having an attractive silhouette,
losing weight is also important for your health.

So, make a set of tests before you start your diet and take a look at them.

You will see then why your asthma felt worse and your attacks were more
often.

Then, go to a nutritionist which will create a personal diet which will respond to
all your body's needs.

It will certainly include low calorie meals and ingredients which will decrease
the number of your asthma attacks.

After only a month of following your personalized diet, you will see how not
only will you look better, but you will also feel better and your asthma will not
bother you so much.

For more effective results, try to combine the diet with physical exercises. Even
though it may be tough at the beginning, everything will go smooth once you
get used with this program.

It will be a matter of time before you start seeing and achieving results.

Herbal Remedies For Asthma

A STHMA SUFFERERS RELY HEAVILY ON MEDICINE TO KEEP THEIR

condition under control.

They use inhalers in case of emergency and specific medicine on a daily basis.

However, the overuse of these medicines can significantly affect the human
body, as there are many counter indications which, in time, will harm the body
and make it even more sensitive to external factors.

But what if you could obtain the same results as when taking medicine, but
without having those dangerous side effects?
14
 Herbal Remedies For Asthma 15

What if you could live your normal life and treat your condition in a natural way,
without being necessary to ingest all kinds of chemical?

Would this not be great?

Well, I think that most asthmatics will surely enjoy the possibility of totally
removing the medicines from their lives and start a new life by treating their
condition using herbs.

This thing is possible and it has been done from long time by other cultures.

There are 2 main mixes of herbs which can help asthmatics live their life the
natural way, without chemical drugs which were temporary alleviating their
suffering, but had disastrous effects on the long run.

The first mix of herbs is one highly used in Middle East countries, which
consists of chamomile, cinnamon, sage, black cumin seeds, cloves, rosemary,
spearmint and thyme, as well as other similar herbs with therapeutic effects.

This combination of herbs has been used for centuries in Middle East countries
to treat asthma or at least alleviate its symptoms.

The other herb combination which is believed to have great effects upon the
human body and offer great results in treating asthma is the mixture called
Saiboku-To.

This mixture - which has its origins in Asia contains 10 herbs - from which the
best known are ginger, magnolia, Baikal skullcap, licorice and Korean ginseng.

Most of the patients which have been treated using this Asian blending of
herbs reported serious improvement in their conditions and reductions in their
steroidal medication.

If you suffer from asthma, you should definitely try at least one of these
blends. They have the advantage of being 100% natural and of not presenting
any side effects which may damage or affect your health in a negative way.

How Can An Asthma Diary Help You
Treat Your Condition?

A STHMA SUFFERERS KNOW BEST THAT LIVING WITH THIS CONDITION IS

quite hard.

Since it prevents you from being involved in normal activities.

Such as walking in the park when all the flowers are blooming, running, playing
and even get proper rest.

This is why it is highly important to monitor this ailment and see the way in
which it evolves.

16
 How Can An Asthma Diary Help You Treat Your Condition 17

This monitoring is best to be done daily.

Many asthma sufferers have made a habit out of keeping a diary of their
condition.

Not only is that helping them keeping track of the number of attacks they have
had in a certain period.

But this type of recording is also highly useful for their doctors, which are able
to evaluate the way in which their patients' condition is evolving.

Also, on the basis of the accurate description provided by the patient, the
doctor is capable of better observing the way in which the medicine are
affecting the individual and whether they are efficient in treating the asthma or
they are only worsening the condition.

Thus, asthma diaries can prove to be very effective in finding a personalized

cure, which will treat the patient or at least make their life better.

For this reason, it is advisable that each and every asthmatic should keep a
diary where to record all the information they think is necessary about their
daily condition and the symptoms they are experiencing during a normal day.

Things like the symptoms preceding an attack, the feelings one feels when an
asthma attack strikes, the things which may trigger the attacks and the way in
which the current actions and the environment affect the individual is
information that should be written in the diary.

The more accurate is the information noted down in the diary, the more
effective the treatment based on those notes will be.

The asthma diaries are helpful tools in treating this condition properly. By
knowing exactly what symptoms you experience before having an attack, you
can prevent it from happening.
18 ALL ABOUT ASTHMA

Also, by noting down all the symptoms and feelings one experiences, the
doctor will receive a more accurate description of the way in which the
condition is manifested and will be able to prescribe the best medication
available.

So, if you want to treat your asthma, make sure that you always keep track of
your daily symptoms and evolution.
