1) Water
If you suffer from asthma and would like to reduce the chances of having an asthma attack, you should think about drinking plenty of water as a natural remedy. This means that you should drink ten or more twelve ounce glasses of water a day. Water is what the body needs most and if you don’t get enough of it, it can cause your body to use more of its own water to do normal functions. That can take away from your lung functions, which can lead to your lungs over working and causing an asthma attack.

3) Coffee
Coffee can be a great alternative treatment for asthma if you’re having trouble with your breathing. Now coffee can be either a blessing or curse to people with asthma. The way it can be a blessing is that it’s a stimulant and can help stimulate your lungs to function better when you are having an attack. When you are having an attack, you should drink only one cup of coffee, which is twelve ounces, and you should make sure that it is pure black with no sugar or cream in it. It should help your lungs get stimulated enough to function properly again. Now it can also be bad for you if you drink it on a regular basis because it can dehydrate your body. So you should only drink coffee when you are having an attack, if at all.
 
4) Acupressure for Asthma
