Alternative asthma treatment

Learning tips on alternative asthma treatment



When one way fails, the instinctive step is to find an alternative.

For me, after battling with asthma for close to 15 years-and seemingly failing at most attempts of treating the disorder, finding (AND succeeding with) an alternative asthma treatment or solution has been truly a blessing.

Prior to this time, if I had a simple pat on the back or engaged in trivial activities to most, I would inevitably have to reach for my inhaler to alleviate the asthma symptoms.

Moreover, talk about sleepless nights...!!!

Well, thanks to the methods I'm about to show you on natural asthma treatment, those days are over.

For Alternative Asthma Treatment, You need to know the CAUSE of your asthma:



According to medical research, Asthma is an allergic inflammation of the lungs. Moreover, an asthma attack can be triggered by chemicals, air pollutants, pollens, molds, dust, animal dander, foods, exercise, and even temperature changes.

An asthma trigger produces allergens, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream causing the B cells or white blood cells to produce billions of molecules of the antibody IgE. The IgE molecules in the bloodstream combine with the mast cells, which line the blood vessels or basophils.

However, the pioneers and practitioners of Naturopathy believe that 99.9% OF ALL DISEASES ARE A RESULT OF CONSTIPATION, A CLOGGING UP OF THE BODILY TISSUES!

This can manifest itself in a number of ways as the body attempts to rid itself of these encumbrances. Even healers of the Medical Fraternity have accepted that disease is a result of foreign matter in the body, brought about mostly by what we consume. "You are what you eat" is a radical statement that says so much in so little and thus should not be taken lightly especially in regards to seeking a drug-free effective alternative asthma treatment.

Diet & Alternative Asthma Treatment



First and foremost, you absolutely have to give up all processed foods and animal products such as meat, milk, eggs and the like from your diet This is a must and a fact that has been in effect in several programs aimed at correcting respiratory health and finding a lasting natural asthma treatment solution such as the "Breath Retaining Program For Asthmatics" developed by the Russian, Dr. Buteyko.

Within weeks of adhering to this advice, many a chronic asthmatic have been able to give up the use of ventolin inhalers. The novice might cry out: Where will I get my proteins from if I do that? There are more than sufficient amounts of proteins in Fruits and Vegetables and detailed information on the exact needs for protein (which, according to Dr. Stanley Burrough's is actually about a nickel's weight worth per-day) is provided in depth in Chapter 15 of my e-book: Fitness: Inside and Out- A Guide to Improved Health, Vigor and Vitality.

Moreover, from my own experience, DO NOT CONSUME LIQUIDS WITH YOUR MEALS AT ANY TIME. This inhibits digestion by diluting the necessary juices in your stomach designated for that purpose. As a result, it hinders the much needed expansion of the diaphragm and consequently a constriction of the lungs- the bellows of life giving air- which results in the wheezing sounds any asthma patient is familiar with.

Alternative Asthma Treatment and Correct Breathing Techniques:




In order to acquire the most amount of air through minimal effort, do the following tests to see which is the most beneficial.

Test 1


Sit erect in a chair. Ensure that the spine is straight. Now relax the abdominal region. Do not raise the chest or bend forward.

Now accompanying the sound of a metronome, set at 60 beats per minute or a good sounding clock, inhale while allowing the diaphragm to descend without raising the chest and/or shoulders. The aim should be for the dome of the abdomen to have a slight outward curve NOT, as some so-called vocal instructors insist, as in "Sing from your diaphragm!" Count how many seconds of inhalation you can do with this method and take mental notes.

Test 2


-Sit erect as in Test 1.

-Now defy test one's objective and stiffen the diaphragm.

-Next expand the chest and take a long deep breath. Here the breathing will be done via the respiratory muscles connected with the ribs.

-Do you notice how much air you can actually inhale through this...not much right?

Test 3


-Again sit erect as in the previous positions.

Contracting the abdomen take a deep breath by raising the shoulders and the collarbones,

-Your test will show that you can inhale only but so much via this method.

Test #1 is known as Deep breathing
Test #2 is known as Chest breathing
Test #3 is known as High/Shallow Breathing

Naturally Deep breathing for building an altenative asthma treatment regimen is the best and might only be mastered by conscious effort or via the Sun salutations and especially the Shoulder Stand and its counter poses described in detail in chapter 3 of this my e-book Fitness: Inside and Out- A Guide to Improved Health, Vigor and Vitality. (Moreover, a proper diet like the one prescribed in Section 3 of the downloadable text tends to steer you in that route naturally!)

Minor Breathing Exercises For Alternative Asthma Treatment:


1. Inhalation and Exhalation:

-Either laying flat on a bed or sitting erect commence to breathing deeply (emphasis on the method outlined in Test #1) using a stop-watch or metronome to keep track of the time. The desired ratio here is 1:2. Minimum time for inhalation should be 4 seconds gradually building up to 16. (With the time for exhalation now being 8 seconds gradually building up to 32) consciously perform this exhilarating exercise for several weeks.

2. Inhalation-Retention-Exhalation


-When you are properly established in exercise #1 the next stage included is retention. In ancient yogic texts, the required ratio would be 1:4:2 (inhalation, retention and exhalation) The minimum schedule again for this exercise is 4 seconds, gradually building up to a maximum of 16 seconds (inhalation that is) Practice this for several days or weeks till you master it and it becomes second nature. (Always perform this and any other exercises on an empty stomach.)

Alternative Asthma Treatment…and Yoga?



Yes my friend, some yoga poses such as the Sun Salutations, the Shoulder-Stand and its counter-poses do serve as effective Yogic exercise to aid with alternative asthma treatment owing to the positioning of the body while executing them.

Furthermore, when using them as exercises for asthma control, one need not worry about the common exercise-induced asthma attacks that may come as a result of vigorous activity as these poses are very calm and involve very little motion…hey, it’s Yoga after all.

Now for correcting breathing habits-a necessity in any form of asthma treatment: alternative or synthetic, allow me to introduce the Sun Salutations. Owing to the mild back and forward bending motions and the emphasis on focused breathing, folks, this combination of poses, sun-bathing and focus is a known panacea amongst the Indians for correcting one’s breathing-a much sought for factor when using Natural Asthma Treatment options.

They should be performed at your intensity-as will be described in the text below; Fitness: Inside & Out- but as soon as you are able to perform 12 rounds with comfort, you may choose to perform the other poses and body-weight exercises described in full detail with illustrative photos and precise instructions. This will aid you in re-building your cardio-vascular endurance and also speeding up detoxification which is a huge factor in natural healing and needless to say, this method of alternative asthma treatment.


Other simple steps to help with natural asthma treatment in your quest to improve respiratory health include the following suggestions:

1. Avoid excessive temperature changes.
2. Ensure dust mites are reduced as much as possible in your home
3. Use a humidifier in the cold seasons.
4. Keep fresh air circulating as much as possible in the home.

It is my hope that these steps may come in handy in improving your respiratory health. Of course your own discretion is advised in regards to these suggestions. But hopefully they would come in handy in helping you find a lasting alternative asthma treatment solution.


To Health.
