What Are Your Non-Pharmacological Ways to Help to Manage Asthma?

Posted by lenchiksf @lenchiksf, Jan 28, 2024

We are all well aware that managing asthma symptoms is multidimensional approach. Please share what have you tried or trying. Thanks, Lena.

I will share three to start with, but of course there is more.
1. Belleruth Naparestek. I downloaded her Relieve Asthma guided meditation and most of the time it helps at night with symptpms. There are multiple ways to download and formats starting with her website, but amazon and apple music are also options. There is huge library. I also have one of hers for allergies. See pic below.

2. I read this book (i think i came accross from reading an article ) The Asthma Cure by Tarika Ahuja. I found its helpful.

3. I try to use infrared lamp for sinuses and chest especially when i have symptoms . I purchased portable lamp that used in Accupancture clinics and we also installed infrared sauna recently (bought on Costco Website).

@sueinmn Hi Sue, The ones I use attach to the ear loops and are adjustable. Maybe something elastic or velcro that you could tighten would help and make sure the head strap is placed high enough on your head. the mask itself has areas that can be tightened as well. It just takes a little fidgeting. Masks like need to be fitted for different face shapes.

@drsharon Unfortunately, anything that requires extra pieces or fiddling around is a no-go for me. Ear loops in any configuration don't work with glasses, sun hats & bandanas that I wear outdoors.

This is me in the locker room before going into the Covid ICU. 2020. Before getting into my "bunny" suit and N95.
The green strap has buttons on it. To hold the mask away from ears. I ended buying about 10 of these and still have them.
