Asthma is a very common respiratory disease, it affects the trachea and bronchial tubes by becoming inflamed and plugged with mucus. This causes the airways to narrow, restricting the amount of air going to the lungs, and makes it very difficult to breathe. Asthma can occur in anyone but is very common in children and young adults. Typical symptoms of an asthma attack are coughing, wheezing, tight chest, difficulty breathing. Home remedies for asthma can help breathing. There are 2 types of asthma, allergic asthma and non allergic asthma. Some of the allergens that can trigger an asthma attack are: chemicals, drugs, smoke, dust, food additives, pollution, mold, etc. Non allergic asthma can be cause by anxiety, exercise, dry or humid weather, fear, laughing, stress etc. Home remedies for asthma can help these conditions as well. The rate, in which asthma attacks have increase in the pass few years is alarming, specially in children. Scientists believe that, there is a strong link between contamination in the air we breath and asthma, evidence suggest that the percentage of people who live in big cities, and have asthma attacks is far greater, than those of people who live in rural areas. However, this may not be the only reason, it is believed that genetic, food additives, toxins etc. could also contribute to asthma attacks. Modern
medicine can offer very little to children with asthma, most drugs
can only produce a temporary effect. Herbs in the other hand can
be very helpful, not only reducing attacks but also strengthening
the lungs and immune system. You'll learn to treat this disease
with many combinations of herbs such as mullein , elecampane
and more.

Testimonials "Dear Charles, Thank you for taking the time to put all of the wonderful home remedies recipes and information into a book! It is a great resource for me as a great grandmother that cares for a 4 year old granddaughter and a 3 year old great granddaughter during the daytime while their parents work. Coleen Clarke
Dear Charles: I can't wait until I make my own body lotion and moisturizing cream. P.S. I love the tips, secrets and shocking statistics and information you give throughout the book. Valery Sanchez
Hi Charles; I don't usually write recommendation letters, but I felt that I should congratulate you for your work on the Home Remedies e-book. I have very sensitive skin and when I shave my legs I get a very annoying itch and irritation that last for days. I tried many creams but they burn my skin and make my irritation worst, After I got your e-book I decided to make your recipe for body cream. The results were unbelievable it goes on smoothly, with no burning sensation, and no irritation, it brings back a silky moist feel that I've never experienced before with any other cream and it last all day without having to re-apply several times. The amount I have made cost me a few cents and it will last me for about six or seven months. Thank you for solving my problem with a great product Ana Guzman
Charles,
On your site wild yam root is recommended for morning sickness. I have had a terrible time with morning sickness and had become quite miserable, isolated and depressed that I could not move without feeling like I was going to vomit. I tried the wild yam tincture and I feel so much better! Thank you very much! Thank you again for the recommendations on morning sickness!

we have had some episodes in the past that have been somewhat frightening, where I have literaly sat up through the night listening to be sure she continues to breathe. The first accoured on the big island of Hawaii, after we had visited the lava flow, which gives off a very toxic fume the islanders call VOG. My daughter spent the rest of that long night fighting for every breath, but was nearly recovered the next day.
The next experience we had was after a day in a typical apple orchard in Quebec, wich was innondated with pesticide dust, the same thing as the above described eppisode occured in this instance, only the duration was longer. Now, for the last four weeks she has had this yucky congestion which augmented into another eppisode of overnight battle for breath. No fever.
Aside from these attacks, she has trouble running, laughing, and/or swimming too long, which are all more difficult in humid conditions.
I have completely avoided medical treatment, using such remedies as osha, yerba mansa, mullien, and some homiopathics, which have been extremely benificial for us, but in the case that an unpredicted attack comes on, I feel utterly helpless, any advise ?
This time the wheezing and shortness of breath has lasted for almost a week now.
I used to have a ventolin pump but am now using an Oxis turbuhaler. This has worked wonders for the past two years..until last week.
I also had a difficult time getting over colds and the flu for about two months on and off.
This latest asthma attack occured right after i finally shook off a bad cold.
Need some advice on remedies other than medical.
1. Stay still and try not to get your asthma worked up
2. take a hot shower and the steam will help soothe you or put your head in the freezer if cold air helps soothe you more.
3. this is a remedy i found relief with and still do use dandruff shampoo as a body wash i promise this works it has to be a special kind though its called head and shoulders Pyrithione zinc dandruff shampoo and it should state that it has a cooling sensation on the bottle it says refresh as the caption and it has green on it i promise you this will give you relief with hot water and steam from the shower.
4. if you are unable to get a inhalor for asthma there is a over the counter one that many people do not know about its called primatene mist and it is 20 bucks and works great it will deffinetly get you buy untill you retrieve an inhalor1 it was actually the first asthma inhalor invented before albuterol sulfate and it works great but do not overdose it can be harmful. it will stop weeezing and open up airways just as well as an inhalor but it does burn your throat when used so beware but its totally normal and works greatt!!
5. drink coffee or tea anything hot opens up airways
6. get a stong peppermint mint or gum from the store and that will help open airways mints work the best as long as they are peppermint and intensly stong.
7. carbonation may help like a soda
8. last but not least have your doctor get u a breathing treatment they work the best and treat asthma for up to six hours and they are great in case of an attack!
9. steer away from milk products and cold drinks they seem to close up airways.
GOOD LUCKKK I AM GOING TO GO TAKE A SHOWER WITH DANDRUFF SHAMPOO AND THEN TAKE MY PRIMATENE MIST INHALOR AND TOMMOROW I WILL GET MY ALBUTEROL INHALOR FROM THE DOCTOR
Never ever spurn your doctor's advice, it's takes time, but with perseverance, you will find a combination of natural means and western medication that will help you live a 'closer to normal' life. And always be honest with your doctor, if something isn't working, make sure they know. If they ask you how many times you 'rescue', be honest. They can't treat you properly without accurate information. Lastly, buy a peak flow meter to track your lung function. It's handy to be able to quantify those wonderful 'I'm feeling pretty good' days with a number and the 'Something feels off' days. Good luck!
Thanks, Travis

It looks like he's getting a lot of side effects (behavior/sleep) from those medications and I want to try an alternative treatment.
I don't know where to start and I need advice from parents who had the same issue.
Thank you for emailing me.
