Natural remedies work absolutely wonders where mild or severe asthma is concerned. Asthma in children and adults is a frustrating process whereby an individual is seen wheezing more than often within a slightest error of food consumption which is relevantly unfit for an individual suffering fom asthma. Be it grape juice or then just an ice lolly which children love, asthma attacks the moment these foodstuffs are taken and the after results are severe exhaustion as well as the stiff tightening of the chest.

I had asthma when I was just five and I remember those days when I was often hospitalised and nebulized to be able to breath normally like everyone else. Participation in school curriculum activities such as badminton, table tennis, hockey and baseball were just out of question. The attacks came often enough and there were times when I cried endlessly which made it even worse for it made me wheeze more and more. My only solution were packs of medications to relieve my asthma and the nebulizer which I termed as ' My Rescue Machine".Other than these two things I had no hope in recovering fully from asthma.

However, there came a time when my mother opted for Natural medications to help me keep me safe from the side effects of the inhalers that I was so addicted to. She decided it was time to experiment with natural ingredients straight from her kitchen cabinet of herbs and the results were outstanding!

Extracting fresh garlic juice and combining it with pure honey was so enhancing that no sooner had I taken it for severel weeks I realised I could easily control my asthma without the inhalers and had eventually tucked my "My Rescue Machine" in my closet forever.

Another natural remedy that I remember were the smooth and gentle massages of Vick's and Robb ointments that she gave me every single night. Though my body burned and itched badly, I got tremendous relief from these.

At least it saved me from consuming Ventilon pills and depending on inhalers. Furthermore, I realised I could easily join the sports team in school and what a relief it was. Sports was a relaxation in itself and I became aware that inhaling fresh air and exercising in the breeze helped a lot and improved my health. Nature has its cures and for those suffering with asthma I feel one has to make use of herbal remedies and massages to sooth and open up the clogged tubes for the patient to breath easily enough.

It takes quite a while to get fully cured from asthma , if one is depending on natural remedies but with time and patience asthma just vanishes not to ever come in sight again.
