If you have noticed signs of asthma symptoms lately, or have recently had an asthma attack, you and your doctor may have discussed certain asthma medications that are best for you. However, you may not want to take traditional meds for your asthma, so alternative or herbal medications may be in order. Here are a few alternative treatments that may work well for treating asthma.

The most common signs of asthma come from toxins and dust in the air that cause trouble breathing, so making sure that your air is clean and pure is key. You can do this by adding certain oils and extracts to your air purifier, such as lavender oil, which has antiseptic properties and calms the nervous system, which is definitely a plus if you’re trying to recover from an asthma attack. You can also use mild oils like vanilla in order to calm the senses and clear the air from toxins and impurities that could bring on allergic asthma.
Different oils that you can put in your air purifier or inhale to prevent and treat allergic asthma include tea tree oil, peppermint oil, and eucalyptus oil. These extracts help to open and properly lubricate the airways and bronchial tubes so that you will not have to struggle breathing, and these oils will also help to reduce sneezing, watery eyes, and dry coughing that can sometimes be associated with allergies. Using a few drops of this oil during the night during sleep is a good way to reduce your chances of an asthma attack, and can even decrease signs of asthma.

Teas with chamomile and licorice are also great asthma medications. Chamomile is known for inducing a good night’s sleep, which is something many asthma sufferers don’t get very often. Drinking these teas on a regular basis could reduce the amount of mucous in the body, which will make you less congested and restore the health of your lungs. You can also take supplements like feverfew in addition to drinking these teas, since the herb treats many of the symptoms associated with hayfever (i.e. dry coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes) that could later lead to asthma.
Making sure that you are eating a diet that is rich in antioxidants, such as raw fruits and vegetables, will also help to fight off signs and symptoms of asthma. Many people also suffer from allergic asthma, so eating the right foods will help to cut down on signs of asthma. Staying away from foods that could cause more mucus to form in the body, which could further block the airways, so getting a skin prick test to find out what these foods are will significantly help to improve your health. Many asthma patients are encouraged to stay away from products containing milk or wheat to cut down on having to take asthma medications. For more information on asthma news, be sure to contact your doctor for new trends and advances in asthma medications.
