Asthma is respiratory disorder which causes inflammation in the lungs, making breathing difficult. It is thought to be caused by allergic reactions, cold air, stress and exercise.
Asthma is a condition which normally has to be treated by prescribed medication. It sometimes needs to be taken regularly and sometimes just when the condition is bad, depending on the severity of the condition. There are herbal remedies which can be taken for it as well, but these should only be taken when approved by your medical practitioner and alongside the medication that has been prescribed.
Asthma can be worsened when a person is suffering when hay fever or other allergic reactions. If this is the case then chamomile tea can be used as an antihistamine, which is something which reduces the effects of an allergy. Ginger can lessen an allergic reaction and so can also be a help at reducing the hay fever symptoms. Elderberry has been found to relieve congestion and may also be taken by hay fever sufferers to reduce their symptoms and help to reduce the chance of an asthma attack.
Not all asthma attacks are caused by hay fever and sometimes reducing the hay fever symptoms may not be enough to prevent an asthma attack. Green tea, mullein oil and ephedre can all help to open up the bronchial passages which is likely to aid breathing during an attack.
Even if you are on medication, you may find that trying additional herbal remedies may help reduce the severity of the asthma attacks or reduce the need for so much medication.
