Natural Asthma Remedies have no Side Effects

Are you getting scared of taking prescription meds with all of the serious side effects becoming known? Try a natural asthma remedy/relief instead. They have no side effects except maybe to get rid of your asthma.

There are a wide variety of natural asthma remedies available to treat your condition. It is estimated that over 20 million Americans have some degree of asthma and that number grows year after year. The medical community will tell you that there is no cure for asthma so they prescribe medications that treat the symptoms but do not even pretend that they are actual asthma cures.

You probably couldn't find a handful of people who had previously been taking prescription medications who suddenly found themselves cured of their insomnia. Since there is no cure for asthma in the prescription drug world, these people usually have to keep taking their drugs forever which can lead to some very nasty complications. A perfect example would be the use of an inhaler. Some of the side effects from the long term use of corticosteroids can be blood glucose problems, acne, hairiness, stunted growth increased appetite, weight gain and particularly high doses of steroids may even cause osteoporosis!

Here is another example. A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2006, found that long-acting beta-agonists increased the risk for asthma hospitalizations and asthma deaths 2- to 4-fold, compared with placebo. Other potential side effects of beta-agonists are jitters, tremors, flushing, headaches, rapid and/or irregular heart rate. These are just a couple examples, there are many, many more. It's no wonder that as people become aware of these unwanted side effects, more and more of them are seeking out a non-prescription all natural asthma relief.

The official medical opinion on asthma is that there is no cure for asthma. That is probably true regarding prescription drugs. However, many people have found a natural cure for their asthma using processes such as:

Acupuncture - Uses needles for the stimulation of chemical reactions in the body to correct existing imbalances.

Yoga - Using particular exercises and body positioning to cure problems inside the mind and body.

Hypnosis - Listed as a natural cure for insomnia.

The use of herbal and homeopathic treatments can eliminate the need for prescription drugs and inhalers.
