10 Home Remedies For Asthma
Home Remedy #3: Eucalyptus Oil
Eucalyptus oil is made from leaves of eucalyptus, a plant from the Myrtaceae family that is native to Australia. This oil can be used in pharmaceutical preparations to help alleviate symptoms of colds and influenza. It can be found in products such as lozenges, cough sweets, inhalants, and ointments.
It is believed that eucalyptus oil has some antibacterial effects on bacteria in the respiratory tract. It is a good ingredient to help clear out blocked airways. For asthma, eucalyptus inhalation helps break down mucus. Eucalyptus oil can be dropped on a towel or napkin for inhalation purposes as it helps improve sleep. It can also be added into boiled water for steam inhalation.
