Asthma does not have to take over your entire life. There are many things you can do at home to help relieve some of your Asthma problems. Of course nothing can take place of what your doctor suggests but you can prolong your attacks by following some simple home remedies. Always remember though if you're having a really bad attack you should head right over to your local hospital and not try home remedies since these attacks could become fatal.

Honey

Honey is known to relieve asthma when in a pinch. There are two different things you can do with your honey. The first thing you can do is add a few tablespoons of honey in a glass of water and drink this twice a day. This will help prevent asthma attacks. If you're in the middle of an attack you can take a jar of honey and place it underneath your nose. Take as deep of breaths as you can and breathe in the honey smell. After a few breaths you should start feeling some relief.

Black Coffee

When in a pinch and you cant find your medication you can drink a strong cup of black coffee. Make sure its completely black coffee with nothing else in it or else it won't work. This will calm your breathing down and pull you out of an attack. Of course people who are having severe attacks should seek medical help as this can become fatal.

Cold Air

If you're stuck with no inhaler and you feel an asthma attack coming on then you should try breathing in cold air. This doesn't mean you have to be freezing in order for it to work. If it's chilly outside then go outside and take in as many deep breaths as you can. The cold air helps open up your lungs.

Daily Vitamin

You should start taking a daily vitamin and make sure you take it every single day. This daily vitamin should have vitamin A, B, C in it. Once you get into a routine of taking this each day you should notice your asthma getting better and you start having less attacks as your body gets use to the vitamins.

Garlic

Garlic is another supplement you can dink or eat in order to prevent asthma attacks. They have garlic pills but these won't be as effective. You need to either crush up garlic cloves and eat it or you can make a tea from it and drink it. You need the garlic to be strong though which is why the pills won't work as well as fresh garlic cloves will.
