How to Treat Asthma With Lemon Juice

Lemon, scientifically known as Citrus Limona, is rich in vitamin C. It has been used for a long time in alternative medicine to cure common ailments such as cold, sore throat and even asthma. The vitamin C found in the lemon juice plays two important roles in combating breathing problems. First, it strengthens the immune system of the body, and second, it works as an anti-oxidant and fights the harmful oxidants the lungs produce in the form of allergens during bouts of asthma. Thus the intake of lemon juice regularly will help fight the disease.

  Squeeze two lemon halves into a glass of warm water and drink it along with your meals. When the body is under stress, as during an asthma attack, it is capable of absorbing large quantities of vitamin C in a matter of a few seconds. Thus supplementing the body with lemon juice as often as you can throughout the day is useful in combating the disease.

• 2

  Mix one teaspoon lemon juice with a pinch of ginger alternatively. Drink daily to keep asthma attacks away. Ginger is anti-inflammatory and when added to lemon juice helps fight the problem more effectively by clearing the respiratory tract.

  Use lemon often in your diet such as salads, drinks and other food items. It will help your immune system keep clean and working well all the time.
