How to Control Asthma Without Medicine

Asthma, a chronic lung condition, inflames the airways and makes them swell. These inflamed airways then react to triggers, causing the muscles around them to tighten and restrict air flow, resulting in symptoms like tightness of the chest, wheezing, trouble breathing, and coughing. There several alternative methods to managing asthma, from increasing your vitamin intake, to lung strengthening and yoga to natural remedies. Always talk to your doctor before ceasing the use of your asthma medication, or beginning any alternative treatment methods.

Method 1 of 7:

Method 1: Increasing Your Vitamin Intake

  1. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 1
    1
    Consume food with Vitamin B complex to control your asthma. Vitamin B6 and B12 control the chain of anti-inflammatory agents in the body that lead to a spasm of the windpipes and can prevent asthma attacks.[1]
    • Food that is rich in Vitamin B12 include: carrots, bananas, avocado, raspberries, artichoke, cauliflower, soy flour, barley, cereals, pasta, whole grains, wheat barn like rice and wheat germ, dried beans, peas and soybeans.
    • Consume vegetarian products that are rich in Vitamin B such as: milk and milk products, green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grain cereals.
    • Consume non-vegetarian sources of Vitamin B complex such as: cow’s liver, kidney, pancreas, yeast (Brewer's yeast), lean meat, pork, fish, dairy products, poultry, eggs, shrimp, crab and lobster.

    Increase your daily intake of magnesium. Magnesium is known to reduce the deposition of cholesterol plaques in your blood vessels and prevent hypertension. This vitamin also helps to prevent asthma from getting worse as you get older. The daily recommended dose of magnesium for adults is about 300 mg.[2]
    • Eat foods that are good sources of magnesium, such as: seafood, nuts, green leafy vegetables, peas, lotus stems, vegetable pulses, whole grains, and fruits.

    3
    Increase your intake of Vitamin C. Studies have shown having an intake of 2000 micrograms of Vitamin C every day day reduces the histamine levels in the body.[3] Asthmatics can have an asthma attack due to increased levels of histamine in the body, which occurs when they are exposed to an allergen.
    • Lemons, citrus fruits, oranges, Indian gooseberries, and bell peppers are loaded with Vitamin C.
  4. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 4
    4
    Eat food that contains selenium. Selenium is an anti-inflammatory agent and very useful in controlling asthma. Selenium also reduces bronchial inflammation.[4] You need to consume about 50-70 mcg/day of selenium a day.
    • Sources of selenium include fish, eggs, mushrooms, cereals, cow's kidney, tuna, lobster, and Brazilian nuts.
  5. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 5
    5
    Consume food that is high in Omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin A. Vitamin A and Omega 3 fatty acids both are known anti-inflammatory agents. They reduce the pro-inflammatory agents and thus reduce the spasms that signal an asthma attack.

Method 2: Strengthening Your Lungs with Exercise

  1. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 6
    1
    Blow a candle from a distance of 1 meter every day for at least 10 minutes. Place a candle 1 meter from where you are seated on a table. Sit across the table and try to blow the candle out with one deep breath. Pushing out all the air in your lungs will increase the breathing capacity of your lungs as well as reduce the volume of the residual air in the lungs. The more the residual volume, the more the lungs are damaged as they cannot exchange air well.[7]
    • Once you can blow the candle from a distance of 1m, move it further away from you and repeat the same procedure.
  2. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 7
    2
    Blow up a balloon each day for at least 10 minutes. This exercise will improve your breathing capacity and increase your total lung volume, as well as decrease the residual volume in your lungs.
    • The goal is to exert your lungs and expand them so that they will remain that way and the bronchial tubes will not get constricted too often. This exercise will also reduce the feeling of breathlessness when an asthma attack occurs.
  3. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 8
    3
    Take up swimming to improve your breathing capacity. Swimming will also help to reduce fatigue and breathlessness. Initially, your lungs may feel tired or worn out but as you continue swimming, your respiratory muscles will become stronger and you will feel more comfortable when you breathe.[8]
    • Water also offers lesser resistance to the body and is a great way to improve your lung capacity.
    • Start by swimming 15 minutes a day and slowly increase up to 30 minutes or more per day.
  4. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 9
    4
    Start cycling to improve your breathing. Cycling not only tones your abdomen and calf muscles, it also improves your respiratory system and expands your lung capacity.
    • Initially, you may feel breathless biking even a short distance, but the more you bike, the less carbon dioxide remains in your blood, enabling you to cycle for longer periods of time.
    • Start by cycling for about 10 minutes and then gradually increase up to 30 minutes or more each day.
  5. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 10
    5
    Go for brisk walks. Brisk walking in the early part of the day improves breathing capacity of the lungs. This will then reduce the spasms of the bronchial tubes and enhance your breathing.[9]
    • A walk early in the morning also helps to stimulate the metabolism and wake it up from the night’s slacked pace. This improves your metabolism, bolsters your circulation and helps clear out allergens and inflammatory substances that tend to accumulate overnight.
    • Start with a 10 minute brisk walk or a shorter distance if this is too much for you. Increase the time slowly up to as much as forty minutes a day, at least 5 times a week, to see significant results.
  6. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 11
    6
    Get a lung function test or Spirometry test to track your improved lung capacity. The lung function tests or Spirometry tests determine your lung’s capacity to comfortably and forcibly breathe air in and out. A small tube is attached to a machine that makes calculations of the air you breathe into the tube.
    • You should see drastic improvements in your test results after repeating these exercises for three months.[10]

  3. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 14
    3
    Practice Matsya Asana or “fish pose”. This pose allows the lungs to be filled with the maximum amount of air.[13]
    • Lie down on your back on the floor or a yoga mat. Your legs should be straight and your arms can be placed on either side of your body.
    • Keeping the lower portion of your body relaxed and passive, gradually raise your head so the top of your head touches the floor. Your chest will also slowly lift upwards. You may place weight on your elbows to help prop your chest up. Your lungs should be fully expanded with air.
    • This posture will stretch your neck and your upper chest as well as your spine. Bending your spine upward will allow for full expansion of your lungs.
    • Practice this pose 10 times every day, for four to five breaths.
  4. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 15
    4
    Stand in Tadasana or “mountain pose”. This is a great beginner yoga pose as it is extremely easy to do and highly beneficial.[14]
    • Stand on the yoga mat with your feet spread an inch apart. Stand straight, roll your shoulder blades back, and tuck your lower back towards the ground.
    • Raise your arms in the air so that your spine is stretched to its fullest height. Breathe in and out consciously and deeply. This will help expand the lungs to their maximum and help you mentally relax.
    • This pose also tones and strengthens your abdominal muscles, which are a key support for heavy respiration and breathing.
    • Practice this pose for five to ten minutes (or breathes) a day.
  5. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 16
    5
    Practice the Anulom Vilom breathing technique. This breathing technique will stimulate your lungs and improve lung performance.
    • Sit in a comfortable seated position (legs crossed, or Lotus pose).
    • Rest the thumb on your right hand on your right nostril.
    • Inhale through the left nostril.
    • Hold the breath in for a few seconds.
    • Remove your right thumb from the right nostril and exhale. As you exhale, close the left nostril with your middle and ring fingers.
    • After exhaling through the right nostril, breathe in through the left nostril and exhale through your right nostril. This completes one round of breathing.
    • Do up to ten rounds of breathing like this. As your practice advances, you may do this exercise for about 10 minutes.

    Be aware of the common triggers for asthma. They include:[21]
    • Infection of the lungs, bacterial or viral.
    • Emotional stress.
    • Over strenuous exercise.
    • Inhalation of old air.
    • Climate changes or shift.
    • Allergy to certain drugs.
    • Chain smoking.
  2. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 40
    2
    Keep a journal to trace any patterns between allergic reactions and potential allergens you may have consumed. This will help you recognize and avoid any specific allergies that could also trigger asthma attacks.
    • Do your best to minimize allergens in your home once you identify them. Keep windows closed and use the air conditioning during the summer, for instance. In addition, vacuum often, and wash fluffy blankets and stuffed animals in hot water every other day. You can also use an air purifier to eliminate pollens and danders.
    • If your pets are a trigger and you don't want to remove them from your home, always wash your hands after you pet them.[22]
  3. Image titled Control Asthma Without Medicine Step 41
