It is important to know how to prevent allergies and asthma attacks, which can be caused by substances called allergens that irritate the lungs.

The most common causes of these conditions are the following: dust mites, pets with hair such as dogs and cats, mildew or humidity, cockroaches and their feces, rats, mice and other rodents, perfumes or intense odours, the smoke of the wood, of the cigarette, etc. They can also be produced by inner agents of the person such as stress and strong emotions, or an excess of physical exercise in very cold climates.

On the other hand, there are also natural remedies to control allergies and asthma attacks, and thus relieve the unpleasant symptoms that it causes, such as honey, an anti-inflammatory and natural expectorant which favours the elimination of phlegm, disappearing or minimizing the mucus accumulated in the airways. To achieve good results, one (01) cup of hot water with two (02) tablespoons of honey should be drunk daily.

Eucalyptus steam: The way to take advantage of the benefits of this powerful natural expectorant and achieve the cleaning of the respiratory ducts which facilitates breathing is boiling several eucalyptus leaves in water, putting out the fire and inhaling the steam that is released. Care should be taken not to bring the face so close to the container where the water is to avoid burns. This can be done daily, or according to the need of each person.

Ginger tea: It has been scientifically proven that ginger has some elements or components that have bronchodilator properties which act favourably in the breathing process. The way to consume it is through infusions which inhibit an enzyme responsible for the contraction of the muscles of the airways and in turn activate another enzyme that acts as a relaxant of the respiratory tract.

Lemon juice: When drinking lemon juice with water, the respiratory system is cleaned and germs and bacteria that impede the passage of air through the airways are eliminated. Likewise, this infusion prevents the mucus present in the respiratory tract from accumulating in the bronchi. It is also recommended inhaling the steam of the hot drink and then drink it to achieve better results and control allergies and asthma attacks.
