Asthmatic, On Medicines For Parkinson's, Persisting Shivering In Hands. Is There Any Natural Remedy?
My mother-in-law is suffering from Parkinson s disease for quite some time and has been taking medications for the same for the last five years. However, the shivering in her hands still continue. She is asthmatic too. I was wondering if there are some natural remedies/ exercises that can reduce the severity of the disease apart from the medicines that she is taking.

There are no other remedies for both parkinsonism and asthma. She should be on regular medication for these for optimal control. However regular phisiotherapy may help in reducing rigidity in her muscles and slow down the wasting of muscles. Similarly she should do regular breathing exercises, avoid dust and smoke and extremely cold environment for asthma. She should be given influenza and pneumonia vaccines.
