Hi, Thanks for your query, Dietary Treatments for Asthma
Avoid fried and processed foods
Avoid food such as rice, curds, buttermilk, sugar, lentils, heavy milk products like cheese, paneer etc...which has natural tendency to produce the phlegm or to accumulate the mucus
Drink boiled water in plenty
Avoid over eating . Take light dinner one hour before going to bed
Avoid fruits such as guava, papaya, watermelon and banana
Home remedies for asthma treatment
Take a mixture of 1 tablespoon of water and 2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice twice a day.
Take a teaspoon of fresh ginger juice mixed with a cup of fenugreek decoction and honey to taste.
Drink a glass of 2/3 carrot juice, 1/3 spinach juice, 3 times a day.
Mix 10 - 15 drops of garlic juice in warm water and take internally.
Grind to powder form - 2 gms each of Nagar (Nut grass, Cyperus rotundus) and Bharangi and mix them in water to prepare a paste which should be taken, with warm lukewarm water, twice daily.
