To treat asthma, garlic can be very useful. Take ten to fifteen cloves of garlic and boil them in half cup of milk. Drink this solution once in a day to cure asthma symptoms. Else you can even make garlic tea by adding three to four cloves of garlic to a pot of hot water and allow it to steep for five minutes. Allow the solution to come to room temperature and then drink it. This remedy will clear off the congestion in lungs and give you instant relief.
2. Ginger
Ginger is a well known ingredient used in different kinds of treatments. When suffering from asthma, take one inch of ginger cut it into small pieces and add it to a pot of boiling water and allow it to steep for five minutes. Allow the solution to cool and then drink it. If you wish you can even eat raw ginger mixed with salt to get some relief. Else mix one tablespoon of ginger juice and one tablespoon of honey to two tablespoon of fenugreek seeds soaked in water overnight. Drink this solution every morning and evening in order to detoxify the lungs.
3. Coffee
Your regular cup of hot coffee without milk can also help a lot when suffering from asthma. The caffeine in regular coffee can help to prevent and control asthma attacks. Hot coffee will relax and clear the airways also which will help you to breathe easily. Try to go for a stronger cup of coffee as the stronger the coffee, the better will be the result. But you should not drink more than three cups of black coffee in a day. If you do not like coffee you can opt for a cup of hot black tea.
4. Eucalyptus Oil
You can also use pure Eucalyptus oil to treat asthma symptoms. Just put a few drops of Eucalyptus oil on a paper towel and keep it by your head when sleeping. When you breathe Eucalyptus oil it will give your relief from asthma symptoms along with cold symptoms. Else put two to three drops of Eucalyptus oil into a bowl of hot water and then breathe in the steam as much as you can. Try to take deep breaths for quicker and faster results.

Honey is one of the oldest natural cures for asthma. Just by inhaling the smell of honey you can notice improvement in your breathing pattern. It is the alcohol and ethereal oils present in honey that will help people suffering from asthma. You can also take a glass of hot water and mix one teaspoon of honey into it and try to drink it slowly at least three times a day. Else mix one teaspoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and eat it just before going to bed. This will help in removing phlegm from the throat.
6. Mustard Oil
While having an asthma attack, you can also get much relief from mustard oil. Mix some mustard oil with a little camphor and then use this solution to massage the back of the chest. Try to massage gently and do not put too much pressure. Massaging with mustard oil will clear up the respiratory passage and help you to breathe normally. Repeat this remedy several times a day until you get relief from various symptoms of asthma.
7. Lemon
Lemon can also be used to treat asthma symptoms at home. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in a glass of water and add some sugar according to your taste. Drink this solution whenever you are suffering from an asthma attack. People with asthma have low levels of vitamin C and the Vitamin C present in lemon will fulfill that requirement. Also the antioxidant property of lemon juice will help in decreasing asthma symptoms. Along with lemon, you can also take orange juice, papaya, blueberries and strawberries.
8. Onions
Onions have anti-inflammatory properties that can help in reducing the constriction of the airways when suffering from asthma. Also the sulfur content in onions can help in decreasing inflammation in the lungs. When you eat raw onions it will clear the air passageways for better breathing. If you cannot bear the taste of raw onions you can even eat cooked onions to lessen the various symptoms of asthma attacks.

For long term control and prevention:
• Decrease protein to 10 percent of daily caloric intake. Replace animal protein as much as possible with plant protein
• Eliminate milk and milk products, substituting other calcium sources.
• Eat organically grown fruits and vegetables as much as possible.
• Eliminate polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, all partially hydrogenated oils that might contain trans-fatty acids, all foods
that might contain trans-fatty acids (such as deep-fried foods).
• Use extra-virgin olive oil as your main fat.
• Increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
• Always drink plenty of water to keep your respiratory tract secretions more fluid.
• Experiment with eliminating (one at a time) wheat, corn, soy and sugar for six to eight weeks to see if the condition improves.
• Eat ginger and turmeric regularly for their anti-inflammatory effects.
• Have some manipulative work done on the chest to break up restrictive patterns in nerves and muscles that develop in chronic asthma. The best systems I know for this are osteopathic manipulation, especially from a practitioner of cranial therapy, and Rolfing, a form of deep-tissue massage.
• Minimize contact with respiratory irritants, such as smoke, dust, molds, and volatile chemicals. Remove sources of offending materials from your home, install a good air filtration system, or consider moving if the air is generally bad where you live. Experiment with living in other locations: in high mountains, the desert, or near the seacoast. Asthma may improve greatly with a change of climate

How To Overcome Failures in Life
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more
useful than a life spent doing nothing.
When we fail, we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our
time and thus regret it. But that's should not be the case. The fact
that you have done something is much better than doing nothing. Many
people who despise persons who fail never do anything themselves. Rise
up and move on. The regret lies not in doing, but in not doing.
2. Understand that failure is there to bring you wisdom
Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure.
Failure is there not without a reason. It's there to give you the
wisdom you need to succeed. Each failure you encounter increases your
wisdom and brings you one step closer to success. If you have this
mind set, you will see failure differently. You will see each failure
as an opportunity to learn.
3. Learn as much as possible from the failure
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
While failure brings you wisdom, how much wisdom you will get depends
entirely on your ability to harvest it. So don't waste the opportunity
to learn; harvest wisdom as much as possible from the failure. If you
fail to do this, you may waste a lot of time by repeating the same
mistakes in the future.
4. Don't give up; maybe you are only one step away from success
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up.
The thought of giving up is tempting, especially when we have failed
over and over again. But who knows that maybe you are only one step
away from success? Will you waste the long journey you have passed
when you are already so close to your destination?
So hold on tight and don't give up.
5. Maintain your enthusiasm
Not only you should keep on trying, you should also do it with the
same level of enthusiasm as when you first began. Otherwise your
subsequent effort will have less and less power.
So how do you maintain enthusiasm? One good way is by realizing that
you are now one step closer to success thanks to the lessons you
learn. There's no reason not to be enthusiastic when you are getting
closer to success. Another way is to keep your mind on the
destination, which brings us to the next point.
6. Keep dreaming big dreams
Always have your destination in mind; keep dreaming your big dreams.
Spend time to visualize them and let the dreams energize you. Let them
make you passionate and enthusiastic. Once you cease dreaming, soon
you will also lose your energy and be back to mediocrity. To overcome
all the obstacles you encounter you always need a greater why, and
that why is provided by your dreams.
7. Keep your confidence in yourself
Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you
can dream it, you can make it so.
