Top 10 Simple Ways to Relieve Asthma

Asthma symptoms cause shortness of breath, chest tightness, congestion, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. This lung disease affects over 25 million Americans. There are many reasons such as stress, dust, mold, pollen and changes in weather that can directly worsen this condition. This leads to asthma attacks. Sometimes it is genetic.

For asthma patients, Pranayam (breathing exercise) Anulom vilom is essential. This breathing exercise can cure 70% of your asthma. This Yoga Kriya clears the airways, strengthens the lungs so that the lungs can pump in more oxygen and breathe in air. This allows the patient to breathe easily. This is a safe and stress-reducing process. In the first few months when you start this Yoga Kriya, it will be a bit uncomfortable because you already have a breathing problem. Once you get used to Pranayam, the breath moves freely in the body and provides adequate nutrients to the cells, organs, tissues and glands. This helps relieve chest pain and provides relief for you. Sometimes when you are sick and cannot sit on the floor or in a chair, you can still practice Pranayam slowly while resting directly on your back and it really helps.

Practice yoga poses slowly six days a week. Whatever position you can take. This will help relieve mental stress and body tension. This also strengthens the strength of the body and mind. Your body can produce more energy to fight and face your daily physical challenges.

Five minutes of meditation daily helps us feel unity with the Source from which we all come to play our role on this temporary stage (the world). Believe in miracles, and miracles happen. When we meditate in solitude, we distance ourselves from the external materialistic world. Focus on your breath as you repeat, “I am a peaceful soul and I am not this body,” and try to connect with “the source.” Once you realize that you are an immortal soul, you can awaken your consciousness and find abundance.

In case of asthma, it is useful to do breathing exercises of Bhastrika and Sitali for one minute every day to help our body produce more energy. It may be a little difficult to take a deep breath, hold it, and then let it go. If you can, take a short breath. Continue to breathe in and out forcefully, as practicing breathing exercises daily helps unblock the passage of air and strengthens the lungs to pump in more air. Your lungs may continue to hold air for a few seconds. When we breathe deeply, the air penetrates deep into the body and provides energy to dying cells. So we are healthy and full of energy.

For asthma, Kapalbhati (breathing exercise) for five minutes really helps. Focus on exhaling quickly and continuously. Take one breath per second with a little force by contracting your abdominal muscles and you may feel a little pressure in your lower back. Once you've learned, increase this to ten minutes. Be patient and slow. Take some time and your efforts will bring you great rewards.
