are there any home remedies for asthma's symptoms?

Find out wht triggers it and try to avoid. Find out what makes it better like breathing machines, hand held nubulizers.

I had serious Asthma as a child so when it returned later in life it was of great concern. After some personal research I took 1000 mg of MSG and 500 mg of vita C per day any good health store will know what MSG is. The MSG will desensitize one to allergens possibly in 3 months. I also took 1 mg of Grape seed Extract per pound of body weight and breathing would be better with in one hour,I cut back this to 1/2 dose if I had no problems. The above two thing should help one get off the drugs that will never cure you. One should take responsibility for ones own health and do a little research on what benefits ones health, as anyone else is just there for profit

hot black tea or coffee. I also run a sink full steaming hot water put a towel over your head and the sink and breathe do this for 10 minutes. it has helped me breath and it is a great facial at the same time.

Asthma is nothing to play with. it is a deadly condition to have. Asthma kills 10,000 men, women, and children every year. during an asthma attack the bronchial tubes in the lungs swell to the point that only a pinhole is left for the air to pass through. Then to add insult to injury the swollen tissues start to produce thick mucus that makes it even harder to breathe. Death comes from suffocation.

You can purchase over the counter medication such as Primatene mist for emergency use and there are Primatene pills too for longer symptom control, but both will increase your heart rate. They say caffeine is supposed to be effective in treating asthma, but I have never had it work for me.

Life is too precious to waste it looking for cheap treatments.

Also, depending on what has caused the attack in the first place putting perfumes or chemicals in the air can make the attack worse. also, don't ever feed salt to anyone. especially not 1/2 tsp. that can cause other problems in the body and brain.

Asthma is a disease of diffuse airway inflammation caused by a variety of triggering stimuli resulting in partially or completely reversible bronchoconstriction. Symptoms and signs include dyspnea (difficulty in, or laboured breathing), chest tightness, and wheezing. The diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment involves controlling triggering factors and drug therapy, most commonly with inhaled ?-agonists and inhaled corticosteroids. Prognosis is good with treatment.

1/2 teaspoon bakingpowder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt mixed in some purified water. drink it. i couldn't believe how well this worked for my son. hope this helps

I've seen my son through 12+ yrs of asthma (had it myself when I was young). he was in and out of the hospital for the first couple of yrs. The only way we got it under control was Singulair(excellent), a home nebulizer, and Dimetapp & Robitussin. he was able to quit the Singular after a couple of yrs on it and we were able to just give him breathing treatments and the Dimetapp & Robitussin.

With asthma your airways become restricted and until you can open them up you will not get any relief. The Dimetapp & Robitussin helps immensely because asthma (with my son) was normally brought on by allergy type symptoms. he wouldn't have stayed out of the hospital many times without the nebulizer though. You have to find out what works best and quickest for you. The doctors tried to put him on many medications, but I would use them until he was over the worst of it then take him off of them, most of the prescriptions had so many bad side effects. The main medication that worked best for him was albuterol (put in nebulizer and when he was small was taken orally as well). Albuterol makes you pretty jittery though and he would be moody while on it (but hey, whatever works best to give relief).

A cool-mist humidifier can be a big help also.

Good luck.
