Asthma and allergies cures 

Given all the hours that are spent at home it is very important that the living environment is free of asthma triggers. Pets can be a problem and its best to avoid having pets that can aggravate the condition. Pets are not so much of a problem because of the fur, but because of dander, which is dead, dry skin that flakes off.


This is a very powerful allergen. Dust mites which are microscopic insects are another powerful asthma trigger. Mold and other simiar fungal growths can be a very big problem as the spores though which they reproduce float through the air in millions.


Pollen released by plants and trees is another common trigger for asthma attacks.

There are many natural remedies that can help, but they are not an alternative to the prescribed course, but instead help them.

It is believed that the caffeine that is present in regular coffee is quite effective in the prevention and control of asthma attacks. Caffeine also has bronchodilating effects, but avoid administering this to children.
Onions are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties. They can reduce the constriction of the airways that is common in an asthma attack. While consuming raw onions can be a problem to some, even cooked onions help to reduce asthma attacks.
