5 Ways to Treat Allergies and Asthma at Home
There’s nothing worse than suffering from allergies and/or asthma. From seasonal allergies, to pet allergies, to exercise induced asthma, breathing problems can be inconvenient at best, and life threatening at worst. Let’s go over five ways that you can treat both allergies, and asthma at home. However, don’t forget that there are some cases which require a doctor’s attention, so make sure you seek professional help if you need it. 1. Caffeine One of the best ways to open up your airways during a spell of asthma is to drink something with a high level of caffeine in it such as coffee or black tea. This has been shown to give relief for up to four hours in most case. The reason this works is because the caffeine opens your air way similar to the asthma drug theophylline. Just be wary if you have a heart condition or an allergy to caffeine. If so, then this isn’t the remedy for you, but don’t worry, there are others. 2. Dealing with pet allergies Pet allergies are some of the worst to deal with, and can negatively impact your relationship with your pet. While dealing with a spell can be taken care of with nasal sprays, apple cider vinegar, and the like, it’s best to try and prevent pet caused allergies from occurring in the first place.
