Asthma has been a chronic disease that is difficult to cure since ancient times. With the development of diseases and the emergence of pollution, decoration, pets, flowers and trees, the prevalence of asthma is getting higher and higher. Especially in spring, due to climate change, increased allergen concentration and other factors, the incidence of asthma reached a peak, making patients miserable.

In fact, asthma can be treated by diet besides taking medicine. Today, I recommend several recipes that can recuperate asthma.

Why should asthma patients pay attention to diet?

According to medical research, about 20% of adults and 50% of children induce and aggravate asthma due to improper diet. Therefore, asthma patients must pay attention to their diet, find out the food related to their asthma attacks, and avoid eating them.

What is the principle of asthma food supplement?

Asthma is a chronic respiratory inflammatory disease, and the lung is the source of breathing. In other words, once wind-cold invades the lung, or phlegm-dampness blocks the lung, and phlegm-heat harmonizes the lung, resulting in spleen-lung deficiency, it will greatly increase the possibility of inducing asthma. Therefore, Chinese medicine suggests that patients with chronic asthma can eat Chinese medicine that can replenish qi and nourish the lungs to enhance their own resistance and reduce the possibility of asthma attack.
