Our research has discovered many natural asthma remedies.

For our daughter we have tried most of them with varying results. But only one has been able to restore her health completely, eliminating not only asthma, but all her allergies and disorders.

Ill Effects of Asthma

Asthma can be triggered by an allergic reaction to something we eat, inhale or touch. It can also develop in the body through illness or disease.

Even mild asthma can have a terrible effect on someone. A constant cough with phlegm or wheezing, causing difficulty in breathing and pain in the chest, is usually the symptoms felt. Sufferers can also be bed ridden if it is severe.

Five thousand Americans die unnecessarily from asthma every year!

Asthma Triggers

The effects of using natural asthma remedies are determined by many factors, including:

The air we breathe
The foods we eat
Our immune system
Temperature
Clothing
Our age
Type of asthma
If we’ve inherited it or developed it

My daughter Jade inherited asthma and allergies from her Dad but I also believe that my acidic diet when I was pregnant was not helpful – something I learned too late and wished I new at the time.

Molds, dust, pet dander, plants and even cockroaches can also trigger an attack.

Recent studies have shown some people to be sensitive to the droppings and body parts of cockroaches.

Molds can form in many different places, including food. A young girl died after using a pancake mixture which contained mold.

Avoid foods that can cause phlegm, such as dairy products and even banana! Wheat should also be avoided.

Inhaling cigarette smoke is another danger for asthmatics. A great way to improve breathing is inhaling the steam from your shower. This helps to open up the airways.
