More than million people in India suffer from asthma. While doctors prescribe chemicals, inhalers and medications for your recovery, there is a way to avoid asthma from the initial point. Asthma has no cure, but you can control it or even avoid it beforehand by following natural process.

What is Asthma?

Medical practitioners and specialists define asthma as a disorder of lungs, which causes inflammations and spasms in your respiratory tract. It is characterized by difficulty in breathing which is caused due to the inflammation of bronchi, the tubes that allows oxygen within your lungs. It is often accompanied by chronic cough and troubles in chest. Spasms can also cause the production of mucus, which clogs the airway.

Here are mentioned few natural ways for you to follow to avoid asthma.

1. Say goodbye to stress- Stress is a culprit for asthma attacks. It inhibits blood flow to lungs that results in breathing trouble. Practice de-stressing  breathing exercises everyday to facilitate oxygen flow in your body. Sleep well and do not risk your life for unnecessary tensions. Follow a regular sleeping pattern and say goodbye to asthma.

2. Eat foods rich in magnesium- Magnesium has muscle relaxing properties. This in turn controls the contraction of airways. Eat green leafy vegetables, walnuts and seeds, fish, soybean, banana and dark chocolates. These are foods high on magnesium content and thus improve the flow of oxygenated bold back and forth lungs.

3. Make omega-3 your best friend- Omega 3 has properties of DHA and EPA which can dilate your bronchial tubes. This increases the airway and helps in reducing asthma attacks. Fish is a major source of Omega-3. Other rich sources of omega-3 are walnuts and flaxseeds .

4. Use natural cleaners- Synthetic cleaners contain irritants, which can aggravate your allergic reactions. Instead, choose natural cleaners  without irritating smell. Thyme is an excellent anti-bacterial as well as has a soothing fragrance. Choose thyme essential oil as air freshener. Avoid chemicals like chlorine.

5. Increase your immunity power- Eat healthy and rely on a balanced diet. Do not include much of oily and spicy foods. Neem and Tulsi extracts are good for improving your immunity power.
