<p>Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that affects the wind pipe and causes them to swell and get inflamed. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The most effective way to control asthma attacks is to control the triggers of asthma.<br /><br />* Keep the home dust-free and regularly change and wash bed linen.<br /><br />* Keep the surroundings free from dust mites, cockroaches, indoor and outdoor moulds.<br /><br />* Stay away from furry or feathered pets.<br /><br />* Take care of your health and immunity levels. For infections like colds, sinus and flu may increase the symptoms of asthma.<br /><br />* Try to stay indoors or wear a protective mask when stepping outdoors, to avoid seasonal triggers such as pollen and spores.<br /><br />* Always stay warm and drink hot fluids or fluids at room temperature.<br /><br />* In some sensitive individuals, food colouring, processed/ tinned food and preservatives may trigger asthma. Be watchful of what you eat especially if you are using packaged and ready-to-eat foods.<br /><br />* Strong smelling perfumes, deodorants, cleaning fluids, paints and sprays should be avoided.<br /><br />* Avoid contact with fine powders such as a kitchen flour grinding mill, saw dust, finely powdered spices and talcum powder.<br /><br />* Make sure there is passage of fresh air and avoid sitting in cramped smoky areas.<br /><br />* Try to stay stress free and calm by practising yoga and pranayama.<br /><br />Your doctor will be the best person to judge your situation. So ensure you visit your doctor regularly and discuss your symptoms, the frequency and intensity of your attacks properly.</p>
