If you feel that you are suffering from asthma, then the first thing you should be doing is making an appointment with your doctor so that they can provide a proper diagnosis. However once you have been diagnosed with asthma, then normally your doctor will prescribe medication which can help to control rather than cure the condition. However, if you are looking for an alternative then why not try asthma herbal remedy.
In this article we will be taking a closer look at certain asthma herbal remedy treatments that people who suffer from this condition may want to consider using alongside the medication prescribed by their doctor.
Butterbur
This shrub which grows perennially and can be found in not just the USA, but also Europe and Asia can be quite effective. It contains active ingredients called petasin and isopetasin which are believed to help reduce muscle spasms as well as having an anti inflammatory property to it.
However there are some side effects associated with this particular type of herbal remedy. Namely it can cause indigestion problems, headaches, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea and constipation in some people. Plus this particular herbal treatment should not be used by women who are either pregnant or those people who suffer from either liver or kidney disease.
Boswellia
This is more commonly referred to as Salai Guggal in Indian Ayurvedic medicine and in studies that have been carried out, it has been found to restrict the production of leukotrienes in the body. Leukotrienes is the compound when able to be released in to the lungs will cause the airways to become narrowed and so a person's breathing becomes much more difficult and labored.
Currently it is not clear as to just how safe or effective this particular asthma herbal remedy is and just how it reacts when used with other kinds of asthma treatments. However again there are some side effects associated with using this particular herb and these include nausea, acid reflux, diarrhea and may cause problems to a person's digestive system.
Certainly, there are lots of asthma herbal remedy and supplements available for being to use in order to treat the symptoms associated with asthma. However more studies need to be carried out before anything firm can be established. Asthma sufferers seeking an alternative such as asthma herbal remedy should discuss matters with their doctor first before taking any asthma herbal remedies.
