How to Treat Allergy Induced Asthma Naturally

We all know that having allergies is bad enough; having asthma at the same time though can make life a living hell. Allergy induced asthma which is one of the most common forms of asthma can turn your life upside down. Because of your body's heightened sensitivity to allergens present indoors or outdoors, the activities that you do, the food that you eat, and the places that you can go to will be limited to a great extent.

Allergens may include (but not limited to); animal dander, fungus spores, pollen, dust mites, sulfites in food, and even cold weather etc, the list can go on and on. If you are one of the thousands or maybe even millions of people afflicted with allergy induced asthma you will need constant medication and frequent visits to your doctor in order to monitor the improvement of your condition.

You can undergo an allergy test if you want to know most if not all of your triggers. This simple method is done by taking a small amount of common allergens and touching the skin, the patches of skin that reacts are then determined as your allergens. Armed with this information you will be able to take the necessary steps needed that can help you prevent breakouts of episodes and flare-ups.

Goldenseal: Hydrastis Canadensis or Goldenseal is a perennial herb belonging to the buttercup family, has been used by Native Americans in the treatment of various disorders and illnesses including asthma way before conventional medicines were established. Further research on the components of Goldenseal shows that it can help to loosen mucus and reduce inflammation during attacks.

Ephedra: or Ephedra Sinica, or Ma Huang is another herbal treatment with more than 5,000 years of experience in handling asthma. Discovered and originally used by the Chinese, ephedra contains stimulants that help your body to ward off allergic reactions by trying to normalize bodily functions.

But as an additional precaution it would be preferable that if you are thinking of taking alternative or natural remedies for your condition, you should seek help from an experienced professional so that unwanted circumstances can be avoided.
