Asthma Treatment - Three Ways to Relief

Listen: many of us who have asthma know what it's like to feel the panic of an attack. They're terrible feelings of helplessness and disturbing fear. It's not pretty at all. There is hope, though. You can get relief! You can use these techniques to help alleviate your asthma symptoms, and also increase your energy level. These are great ways to help strengthen your lungs and your mind...

Asthma Treatment - Three Ways to Relieve Your Asthma

There are many ways to treat your asthma; and the following three tricks are in no way the only ways to give you entire relief from your asthma. However, they have been known to be very helpful to thousands of people, like you and me, who suffer from asthma and need our lungs to be stronger.

Yoga

Yoga is a great way to just relax, gain great flexibility, and also strengthen your lungs. Since the majority of yoga is centered around controlling the mind and body, it can be a great help in controlling the emotional asthma attack triggers. Even if you do not want to partake in the spiritual aspect of it, Yoga is a great physical activity that will strengthen your lungs.

Swimming

Many people believe that since asthmatics have a difficulty breathing, that they should stay away from physical activity. This is not true at all! In fact, exercise is a great way to strengthen the lungs and stave off attacks. When swimming, however, keep in mind that the chlorine in many pools can trigger an attack.

Acupuncture

Many people are skittish at the thought of acupuncture; however, they shouldn't be! It has been found to be very beneficial; especially in those with asthma. Make sure, however, you get a licensed acupuncturist.

Growing up, I had asthma, and bad. It began to rule my life! I couldn't run, I couldn't swim, I couldn't do anything that I wanted!

If you're in the same boat I was, or feel like you could be getting to that point, you need to go to my "Asthma Control" blog.

There, I teach you methods, tips, and tricks to help you control your asthma so that you can go out, and take on the world in the way you were meant to: freely.
