Heal Your Asthma With Two Holistic Solutions

Asthma was never a fatal condition until steroids were used to treat it. Steroidal treatment stops your kidneys from manufacturing your own steroids, so when an attack comes, you can’t make the adrenaline needed to see you through.

But if you understand what this condition is all about and how to treat it holistically, then there is a good chance that you won’t need steroids again.

First of all asthma is all about too little carbon dioxide in your blood, and nothing to do with not enough oxygen. When you don’t have the right amount of carbon dioxide in your system, the best and fastest way your body can increase the levels is to prevent the intake of air for a few moments.

Your body does this by constricting your throat, by increasing the mucus in your airways, or any other way it finds suitable. It is a frightening time and you can feel as if there is a weight on your chest, and that you may suffocate.

Scary though this is, it’s normal and natural. It lasts only moments. Then your carbon dioxide levels increase and the problem is resolved. Your breathing goes back to normal.

So the best way to overcome your ailment is to learn to hold your breath. Practice every day for a period that is comfortable for you. Try increasing that every day. Then when you can feel an attack coming on, just hold your breath. The moment will pass.

A note of caution, don’t try this exercise for the first time during an attack. Practice first.

There’s also a wonderful homeopathic medicine which can help you through the episodes. But you need to know what your unique symptoms are and match them to those of the medicine.

The medicine is called Arsenicum album. It’s asthma symptom picture includes:

worse around midnight to 2 am
worse lying down, better sitting up
you are anxious about your health
you suffer in the cold, can hardly ever be too warm
you may have a suffocative feeling when the attack comes on, as if your lungs are full of smoke or dust

If your asthma symptoms fit into those of the medicine picture listed, then it’s likely to not only give you relief from the acute condition, but to resolve it totally and permanently, in time.
