Natural and Safe Treatments to Stop Children’s Asthma and Allergies

Springtime is when long sunny days, vibrant wildflowers, and chirping birds start to reappear. Unfortunately, this bright and cheerful season also stirs up pollen resulting in asthma and allergy symptoms such as wheezing, sniffles, and sneezing.

This means for a lot of children taking heaps of medication, staying inside on beautiful days, and missing out on tons of fun.

The roots of allergies are actually imbalances in the systems of the body including the digestive, immune, and respiratory functions even if the allergies are triggered by the environment.

Steroids, decongestants and antihistamines can stop the watery eyes and runny nose, but they merely provide temporary relief, are potentially unsafe, and harsh.

Fortunately, several natural remedies for asthma and allergies are available that not only bring relief to symptoms, but can also resolve the underlying imbalances of your child that can stop future attacks from happening.

Natural Remedies for Asthma and Allergies

Acupuncture

A study worth mentioning that was published in in 2004 the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics dealt with the effects of acupuncture in the treatment of children’s allergy symptoms. The study showed that acupuncture increased symptom-free days and reduced symptoms far better than the treatment the control group was given. Since children have a natural aversion to needles, the acupoints can be effectively with harmless tuning forks or enchanting laser lights.

Chinese herbs

The benefits that Chinese herbal therapy for asthma and allergy patients can include a clearing of phlegm, strengthening of the immune system, and widening of the lung’s airways. A customized herbal formula is usually created for your child’s specific symptoms. This kid-friendly formula may astragalus to beef up the immune system and other mild herbs to relieve the symptoms.

Diet

Processed foods, sugar, soy, wheat, and diary can potentially cause inflammation in the body, which makes your child susceptible to respiratory problems. Consult with your child’s healthcare provider for suggestions on how to eliminate harmful foods from your child’s diet.

Supplements

Omega 3’ oils: Fermented Cod Liver Oil can strengthen your child’s nervous system and help relieve inflammation.

Colostrum: Give your child organic freeze dried colostrums capsules two times a day. Colostrums is the first milk mammals secrete in the first few days after birth. It is rich in immune system stimulants that can help your child withstand allergies and infections.

For children laboring from chronic or severe asthma or allergies, the best approach is sometimes to have him/her her treated with alternative therapies while slowly weaning them off from western conventional medication under the guidance of a pediatrician.

This spring, it is much better to go for natural and safe remedies for asthma and allergies.
