Question: Does Anyone Know Of Any Natural Cures For Asthma?
Answer: The most effective treatment for asthma is identifying triggers, such as pets or aspirin, and limiting or eliminating exposure to them. Desensitization is commonly attempted, but has not been shown to be effective. As is common with respiratory disease, smoking adversely affects asthmatics in several ways, including an increased severity of symptoms, a more rapid decline of lung function, and decreased response to preventive medications. Asthmatics who smoke typically require additional medications to help control their disease. Furthermore, exposure of both nonsmokers and smokers to secondhand smoke is detrimental, resulting in more severe asthma, more emergency room visits, and more asthma-related hospital admissions. Smoking cessation and avoidance of those who smoke is strongly encouraged in asthmatics. The Buteyko Method, or Buteyko Breathing Technique (BBT) is an set of breathing exercises developed by the Ukrainian doctor Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko (Russian: ???????) that claim to alleviate various breathing disorders, such as asthma and emphysema.BBT advocates controlling the process of breathing in order to better regulate and even increase the quantity of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/buteyko_met...
