I do not think it is completely possible to rid yourself of asthma but there are things you can do to make it less of an issue in your daily life. I have heard several people say that having a chahauha dog actually almost eliminates the problem. That did not work for me.
People with asthma have specific triggers however. Did you know that cockroaches can cause and/or make asthma worse? It is true. Mold is also a big issue. Make sure your home is free of both of these pests and you will find that you have fewer episodes.
My home became infested with roaches after a woman that had them in her home brought some clothes here in a plastic bag and placed them on my front porch. I was having 4 - 8 severe attacks a day till I got rid of them.
Four years ago I almost died because of mold in our home. Now we have no carpeting or wall paper in the house. I removed all window treatments and painted my windows to look like stained glass.
Good luck

Hi,
The treatment of Asthama will include medicines and the removal of any allergy-causing substances or irritants from the environment. Two types of medications are used to control asthma – fast acting medicines called bronchodilators and preventive medicines.

Bronchodilators relax the muscles in the airways. When the muscles are relaxed, the airways become larger and allow more space for air to move in and out. This medicine is taken by inhaling it - breathing it into the lungs while spraying it into the mouth. People prone to asthma, should always have a bronchodilator with them. Taking the inhaler before exercise can prevent exercise-induced asthma. Salbutamol is the generic name of the most widely used fast-acting bronchodilator delivered by an inhaler or a nebulizer.

The preventive medicines are now considered the best and safest way to control asthma. These medicines prevent asthma attacks and chronic asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, allowing people with asthma to live active lives, including participation in sports. The common preventive medicines are a long-acting bronchodilator called salmeterol and inhaled steroids, such as betamethasone.

Additional types of preventive medicines include theophylline, a pill often taken at bedtime to prevent wheezing at night and chromoglycate which is inhaled three to four times a day. In addition to using a quick-acting bronchodilator during an asthma attack, different types of preventive medicines may be combined for the best control of wheezing.

For the right treatment, the asthmatics need to work closely with their doctor. The inhaler should be used correctly by reading the directions that come with it. Most inhalers work best when held 1 to 2 inches in front of the mouth during use. If the mouth is closed around the inhaler, less amount of the medicine will reach the lungs. A spacer tube or spacehaler can be used for better delivery of the medicine to the lungs. One end of the spacer is attached to the inhaler and the other end is put in the mouth. This allows the asthmatic to breathe in slowly and fully and to inhale more of the asthma medicine. This is especially useful in asthmatic children who can have a problem in coordinating the inhaler with their breathing.

The care should be taken at home.

These guidelines may help to keep asthma under control:


Avoid smoke, especially cigarette smoke, vapours and chemical fumes.
Stay indoors during the humid season or the change of seasons especially when the pollen count is high.
Do not use fans in closed and dusty places.
Cover mattresses and pillows with plastic covers. Wash the bedding in hot water every week.
Do not use a vaporizer or humidifier unless it is thoroughly cleaned.
Do not have close contact with pets. Pet owners should bathe their pet weekly.
The cleaning of the house or the surroundings should be done by wet mopping rather than sweeping, wherever possible. This avoids the generation of allergen aerosols which could act as a triggering factor.
The doctor should be contacted in case the medicines are not effective in keeping the breathing comfortable.

Enjoy Life

There is no known way to get rid of asthma. A persons lungs can mature and therefore it will go away for a while. But all of my children had asthma at a young age(5 kids), and only one still has it. There are meds to get rid of the symptoms tho. Talk to your doctor and he or she can better help you with this. Also my husband had asthma really bad when he was younger and now he very rarely has any symptoms.

asthma is a condition you live with.depending on your age u can either grow out of it or live with it.
If u develop it in adulthood cahnces r u will have to live with it.
therefore the first step is to accept that the conditon u hav is long term and also u should know that the condition is manageable with todays medication.
second step is to know the medications available:
1.dependind on the frequency of attacks u may require a short acting inhaler(like ventolin) if you have less than 1 attack in a week or have an inhaler with a steroid if u have more than 2-3 attacks in a week consistently.
2.deepnding on the severity.if the inhalers dont work then you may require to go to hospital an receive oarl or injectional drugs as seen fit by the doctor.
all in all you shouldnt worry,just go to your doctor and discuss your conditon.hope this helps.

Pranayamam and Yogasanas will help you to get rid of Asthma. Please join yoga classes. In India it is free and you will have to look out some of the parks in the morning when the classes are conducted.

In the Siddha systems there is medicine to cure Asthma. You will have to consult such a practioner.

In allopathy there is no treatment for this disease. The treatment is to make u comfortable by giving anti-histamine and anti-allergic drugs. There r some medicines in homeopathy which r very effective provided the Doc prescribes them after proper questing of the patient. Here the system of treatment is to treat the patient and the disease will be treated automatically. The medicines are prescribed on the basis of symtoms.

Yet another system which works effectively is the Yoga, specifically the Pranayams. I have myself found it to be effective to keep the disease under control and that too w/o medicines.

My mom used to have it, but now she doesnt. The only way she got rid of it is drinking 4 glasses of water every morning.
they also say tht yoga helps it cure it, but is a slow process.
i have also heard abt a place where they put a live fish thru ur throat and ur asthma goes away.........
