Brew some parsley tea: Parsley is a natural expectorant that can help clear mucus from the airways.When you are having an attack,sipping a cup of parsley tea will help you breathe more easily. To make the tea,steep a few sprigs of dried parsley in a cup of boiling water. As an additional benefit,steam from the tea will help loosen mucus and will provide quick relief.
Pour a cup of coffee: Doctors often urge people to drink less coffee. But if you have asthma,a cup of coffee may be just the thing. The caffeine in coffee is chemically related to a commonly used asthma drug. Having a cup or two of coffee when you feel an attack coming on will quickly cause airways to relax,making it easier to breathe.
Keep under wraps:Cold,dry air makes breathing difficult for everyone,especially people with asthma. In the winter,it is a good idea to wear a scarf around your nose and mouth when venturing outdoors. This will warm and humidify the incoming air,which will help keep your airways calm. In addition,you may want to use a humidifier indoors to moisten the air.
