Don’t let Asthma Hold You Back- Breathe Better, Live Better
World Asthma Day is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness, improving asthma care, and empowering people living with this chronic respiratory disease. In a fast-growing urban hub like Hyderabad, pollution, dust, and changing weather patterns contribute to rising asthma cases.
Hyderabad’s rapid urbanization has led to increased vehicle emissions, construction dust and poor air quality. These environmental triggers, weather shifts, and lifestyle factors have led to a surge in respiratory issues, especially among children and senior citizens.
At Indo US Multi Speciality Hospital, we’re proud to lead the way in advanced asthma care—offering comprehensive prevention, diagnosis, and personalized treatment by some of the best pulmonologists in Hyderabad.
Do You Face Any of These Symptoms? It Could Be Asthma
Asthma often develops gradually, and early symptoms are commonly mistaken for general fatigue, allergies, or seasonal flu. Recognizing these symptoms early can help you avoid serious complications and repeated hospital visits.
Common Asthma Symptoms:
- Shortness of breath, especially during any activity
- Wheezing or whistling sounds while breathing
- Chest tightness or discomfort
- Persistent cough—often worse at night or early morning
Here Are Some Factors that Trigger Asthma
While asthma can’t be cured, it can absolutely be controlled. Taking early steps to reduce exposure to triggers and improve lung health can make a big difference in daily life.
- Monitor Air Quality– Use apps to check daily air quality levels; limit outdoor exposure on high-pollution days.
- Keep Indoor Air Clean– Use air purifiers, clean vents, and avoid incense sticks or room fresheners.
- Avoid Smoking– Stay away from smoking.
- Stay Physically Active– Low-impact activities like swimming, yoga, and walking help improve lung capacity.
- Follow Medication Plans– Use inhalers and preventive medications as prescribed.
- Vaccinate Regularly– Get flu and pneumonia vaccines to avoid respiratory complications.
Manage Asthma Better with These Effective Home Remedies
Asthma can be managed more effectively when supported by simple home remedies alongside medical treatment.
One of the most effective methods is steam inhalation, which helps soothe irritated airways and loosen mucus. Adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil can enhance its effect and provide additional relief.
Honey is known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Mixing a teaspoon of raw honey in warm water or herbal tea and drinking it before bedtime can help reduce nighttime coughing and throat irritation.
Garlic has natural anti-inflammatory compounds that may help open up airways, especially in the early stages of asthma. You can boil 2–3 garlic cloves in milk and drink it once slightly cooled.
Ginger is another powerful anti-inflammatory that can relax airway muscles. It can be consumed as a tea made from fresh ginger slices or by mixing ginger juice with honey for daily intake.
Staying well-hydrated is crucial for asthma patients. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps keep the mucus thin, making it easier to clear the lungs and airways.
Turmeric milk is a traditional remedy known for its healing properties. The curcumin in turmeric helps reduce inflammation and boost immunity. Add half a teaspoon of turmeric powder to a glass of warm milk and drink it before bed.
Lastly, regular breathing exercises such as Anulom Vilom and Pranayama can significantly improve lung function and help regulate breathing. Practicing these exercises for 10–15 minutes daily under proper guidance can be highly beneficial.
While these remedies can ease symptoms and improve quality of life, they should always be used as supportive care—not replacements for prescribed medications. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new remedy, especially for children or older adults.
