What Is Asthma

Asthma is a disorder in which the airway becomes inflamed, resulting in wheezing, loss of breath, and tightness in the chest. During an attack, your airway becomes constricted and breathing is difficult. Symptoms of asthma attacks vary between individuals. They also vary in severity, some days you can experience some mild wheezing and other days your breathing can be very difficult and life threatening. The most common asthma symptoms include the following:

Medical Treatments for Asthma

Everyone suffering from asthma needs a quick-relief medicine to stop asthma symptoms before they get worse. These medicines are bronchodilators. They act quickly to relax tightened muscles around your airways so that the airways can open up and allow more air to flow through.

Long-term control medicine for asthma is an inhaled corticosteroid, this medicine reduces the airway swelling that makes asthma attacks more likely. Inhaled corticosteroids are preferred for controlling mild, moderate, and severe persistent asthma.

Dietary Supplements and Vitamins for Asthma

Supplements like vitamin C, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, magnesium, Grape Seed Extract, and Cordycepts have been effective in the treatment of asthma.

Vitamin C has been shown to reduce reactivity in the lungs when contacted by allergens.
Vitamin B6 deficiency may be caused by Theophylline drugs, which are often taken by asthma sufferes, so supplementing this into your diet may be helpful.
Vitamin B12 can be effective in reducing wheezing and improving breathing upon exertion in asthma sufferers.
Magnesium helps to regulate smooth muscle contraction and relaxation.
Grape Seed Extract contains bioflavonoid-like ingredients called proanthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins have been reported to inhibit the release of histamines, prostaglandins, and other inflammatory chemicals.
