Asthma has been a chronic disease that is difficult to cure since ancient times. With the development of the disease and the emergence of various causes such as pollution, decoration, pets, flowers, trees, etc., the prevalence of asthma is increasing. Especially in spring, due to factors such as climate change and increased concentrations of allergens, the incidence of asthma reaches its peak, making patients miserable.

In fact, in addition to taking medicine, asthma can also be treated through dietary therapy. Today, I will recommend some recipes that can regulate asthma.

Why should asthma patients pay attention to their diet?

Medical research has found that about 20% of adults and 50% of children have asthma induced and aggravated by improper diet. Therefore, asthma patients must pay attention to their diet. Find foods that are associated with your asthma attacks and avoid them.

2. What are the principles of dietary supplementation for asthma?

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract, and the lungs are the source of breathing. That is to say, once wind-cold invades the lungs, or phlegm-dampness blocks the lungs, or phlegm-heat irritates the lungs, leading to spleen and lung deficiency, the possibility of inducing asthma will be greatly increased. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine recommends that patients with chronic asthma can consume medicinal materials that nourish qi and nourish the lungs to enhance their own resistance and reduce the possibility of asthma attacks.
