I am suffering from asthma. How can i get rid of inhaler?

The main pathology behind Asthma is " Inflammation" It is the inflammation of the lung tissue. The symptoms of the disease are breathlessness, coughing which is more at night time. Asthma also causes wheezing in the lungs which becomes very high during the night time.

It is the inflammation which to deal with and the trigger point is breathlessness.

Going nature's way is the prime thing which we need to focus on, the increased dust and pollution is triggering the airway and not allowing us to breathe. Two types of Vitamin which are good to focus on Asthma cure is the consumption of vitamin C and vitamin D.

Sun basking is the best way to get vitamin D absorbed in your system, as well as vitamin C, which becomes your cover for the immunity. This immunity helps us in fighting the foreign bodies which enter through our lungs. Beta carotene becomes an important nutrient to build up our lung's vital capacity the sources being, carrots and green vegetables. Magnesium also becomes an important mineral for our fighting the disease, pumpkin is a very good source of magnesium.

Activities for increasing Lungs Vital Capacity.

• Playing the flute
• Blowing Balloons
• Yoga exercises like Pranayam, Cat, and Cow pose and Cobra pose.

Winters induce alkalinity as a natural process. Hence, people have more eliminations in winter as opposed to summers.

Cold and cough are also methods of elimination from the body. It’s the body’s natural response to handle inflammation that was triggered in response to toxemia/acidity. There are many factors that can lead to breathing issues. It could be stress-based, it could be based on what you inhale that will inflame the bronchial passage, it could be due to nerve inflammations due to a bad lifestyle, It could also be due to viral activity. Inhalers can help ease symptoms temporarily, but if you are suffering from chronic asthma and use your inhaler a lot, you may become immune to the steroids at some point.

See many of these irritants can get accumulated in the lungs and can cling to your bronchial walls and go up and down as your breath is irritating the bronchial tubes. This overtime causes inflammation of the lungs. Mucus is one of the body's protective mechanisms to trap viruses and other irritants that are entering the body. However, in places where the mucus must not be present if you can start accumulating, it can be very hard for the internal organs like the lungs to breathe. We eliminate healthy mucus when we have a cold and cough this is because that is the body's natural response to eliminating the virus and accumulation in the body. However, mucus starts getting excessively produced in the internal organs such as the gut, the intestinal walls the lungs where it is unnecessary, If you eat foods that produce excess mucus. Excess mucus putrifies and hardens overtime and refuses to leave the body in all the attempts that the body makes. Such is the time when you will have also have breathing issues. The major root cause of all your problems is having excess animal foods such as dairy, eggs, meat, and fish. So the elimination of these foods itself will ensure that the body makes way to clean itself. Secondly, other foods that contribute to such issues are sugar, excess jaggery, the food with excess spices. Medicines play a key role in ensuring that more toxins accumulate because of the chemicals in the medicines. Medicines are also alien to the body and the effort of suppression of the mucus from coming out leads to further deterioration and worsens the breathing issues and other respiratory issues.

The only way to permanently get relief from these issues is to follow a whole food plant-based lifestyle with each food coming only from plants. Gluten here is an exception that you will have to make although it comes from plants we will still have to remove it from our diet. Gluten is present in wheat, maida, barley, oats, and all the rawa that is made from wheat. Do not attempt to eat any of the bakery products which are loaded with transfat. Oil and any greasy foods must be absolutely removed from the diet.

Once you feel better to join a yoga class and learn yoga and pranayama from practitioners.

When it comes to an inhaler, don’t remove it immediately. As you continue a high raw, more liquids, your confidence levels will improve, triggers will become less and you can continue only juicing when you have an attack, over time the intensity will reduce and you will get the confidence to go off the inhaler. But it’s a gradual process and it all depends on how diligently you follow my suggestion. 

Follow this:-

Morning on an empty stomach:

- 500ml filtered / ash gourd juice/cucumber juice.

- Followed by Green juice or fruit / any watery vegetable like ash gourd /cucumber/ridge gourd/bottle gourd/carrot/ beet with ginger and lime filtered.

- More hunger - tender coconut water or more pure juice.

Afternoon from 12:-

- A bowl of fruits - don’t mix melons and other fruits. Eat melons alone. Eat citrus fruits alone.

- Followed by a bowl of veg. salad if needed or more fruits are fine.

- Dinner 2-3 hrs before sleep with Gluten-free, millets, rice, quinoa, oil-free, unpolished grains or dals 30% and 70% veggies.

- Include some exercises that involve moving all your parts (neck, shoulder, elbows, wrist, hip bending twisting, squats, knees, ankles). Join a yoga or gym and sweat out. We need to eliminate it via skin also.

- See if u can go to the morning sun for at least 30 mins in a day. It’s v imp for healing.

- Ensure that you are deep asleep between 10 pm-2 pm which is when the body needs deep sleep.

- Place a wet cloth on your tummy for 30 mins daily if time permits to improve the blood circulation in the gut and heal faster

What to Avoid:-

- Avoid refined oils, fried food, packaged ready to eat foods, dairy in any form including ghee, refined salt, and sugar, gluten, refined oils, cooking with oil, medicines.

- Avoid mental stress by not thinking about things you cannot control. The present is inevitable. The future can be planned. Stay happy, happiness is only inside yourself. The world around you is a better place if you learn to stay happy inside yourself. Reach us if you need more help in this area. Emotional stress can cascade the effects. Thank your body and love it.

Gargle with turmeric and salt for 5-6 times daily even if the symptoms are not there.

This is a journey for your reading for a long term cure
