Grateful for any
Natural Asthma Remedy
What is a Natural Asthma Remedy?
Webster says that natural is
“being such by
nature”. That’s a good place to start –
in nature.
Fortunately for us, in this modern age of internet search engines and
instant information retrieval, we can look up just about anything. What
we find in our search is that among thousands of ancient remedies that
are some also suitable as natural asthma remedy.
Of course there are lots of other
considerations,
but let’s take a few minutes and explore a few of these
alternative, complementary and natural asthma remedies.
Ayurveda
Coming out of India and centuries of
exploration
is Ayurveda and Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine seeks to
identify and treat the root cause of disease, chronic and acute
illness. Problematic in its application as a natural asthma remedy is
that our present day environment is filled with pollutants and it is
not possible to remove all or even most of the problem.
Nevertheless, Ayurveda offers herbal
treatments to
be used with corresponding exercises in the treatment of asthma.
Results vary but general health improvements have their own effect on
alleviating suffering.
Acupuncture
Next, we’ll look at Acupuncture as
a natural
asthma remedy. Again there are more than a thousand years of experience
with acupuncture – mostly in Asian culture, but more recently
in
the West. Modern acupuncture has treatments for all sorts of modern-day
ailments, including techniques to aid those attempting to quit smoking.
Acupuncture as a natural asthma remedy has also come forward, making a
strong presence in the last two decades.
Acupuncture has only recently been
recognized by
the allopathic medical communities as a useful co-treatment. We expect
to hear lots more about this in the coming years.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy as a natural asthma remedy has
come to
light along with other popular remedies - Bach Flower Remedies,
Essential Oil Treatments and Herbal Essence Therapies. The homeopathic
practitioner (homeopath) identifies specific symptoms and treats them
with very potent minute doses – the idea being to reduce
stress
caused by the condition with severe side effects, allowing the body
time to rejuvenate itself and act in a more holistic way.
Healthy Lifestyle
Finally, a discussion on natural asthma
remedy has
to include healthy living as a component. Although still considered
subjective, elements of a healthy lifestyle should be looked at
–
diet, stress, environment, exercise and applied attention to happy
living.
Ayurveda, Acupuncture and Homeopathy are all
useful tools, especially within a larger program of Healthy Living
– not a cure-all but definitely a natural asthma remedy.
