Coffee
:
The caffeine in regular coffee can help control asthma attacks because it acts as a bronchodilator. Hot coffee helps relax and clear the airways to help you to breathe easier. The stronger the coffee, the better the result.
But try not to 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. Do not use caffeine as a regular treatment though.
CHILI PEPPERS
:
Chili peppers are hot and therefore help in opening up the airways. They increase the secretion of saliva which lubricates the airway and also makes it easier to cough up the mucus blocking the respiratory passage. Capsaicin, which is present in chili peppers acts as an anti-inflammatory and also a decongestant, providing quick relief.
