When you suffer from asthma, having an asthma attack can be scary and stressful, especially when you are doing all you can to try to treat the condition. It is important to seek professional treatment from your doctor or other naturalistic professional to help you reduce the effects from asthma. Here are some natural remedies you can do on your own to help your treatment process.

Use a Himalayan Salt Lamp

A Himalayan salt lamp is made from pink-colored salt crystals mined deep from the Himalayas, and has many health benefits when you turn it on to use it in your home. As the bulb within the salt crystal heats up the salt, it creates and releases negative ions into your home, which attach to and destroy the harmful positive ions that can build up in the air.

Positive ions can build up within your home from the use of electronic devices and will get into your lungs when you inhale them, breaking down the thrombocytes within your lungs. This leads to the formation of antibodies and allergens that increase and thicken the mucous around your lungs' cilia. These allergens and irritant particles are what cause your asthma to increase and you to have increased asthma attacks. The negative ions created from the salt lamp ionize the air in your home, as they attach to the positive ions and purify the air of the irritants.

Use Natural Ingredient Treatments

Ginger is a natural ingredient that you may have in your spice cupboard, and it is helpful in reducing inflammation and contraction in airway restriction when you are having problems with asthma. Combine a spoonful of ground ginger into a glass of water, stir it up, and drink it each night at bedtime. You can also make a ginger tea by cutting up a piece of ginger root into a kettle full of water. Boil the water, then remove it from the heat and let it steep. After the ginger water has cooled, strain the root pieces from the water and drink it. Ginger taken daily like this can help reduce the inflammation of your lungs to help you able to breathe better.

You can also use garlic for your asthma symptoms to help clear lung congestion and to help you avoid experiencing an asthma attack. Mince several cloves of garlic in a glass of milk and mix it together. Place the combination in a pot and bring it to a boil on the stove. Allow the mixture to cool down, then drink it to help prevent asthma inflammation.
