It is good for you, inexpensive and simple, but an often overlooked asthma remedy- drinking enough pure water daily can actually help prevent and reduce asthma symptoms. Dehydration produces a large amount of histamine, which creates back pain, inflamed joints, allergies and asthma. The lungs need water almost more than any other part of the body, when the body lacks sufficient water the lungs feel tight and sensitive.
When the lungs are dehydrated, the free passage of air is obstructed so that water does not leave the body in the form of vapor. An increased water intake will help prevent asthma attacks. Asthmatics will find their symptoms decrease just from drinking 8 to 10 eight ounce glasses of pure water daily. Many people won't drink that much due to the inconvenience of frequent urination, but it's a small price to pay for better health. If your urine is not a very pale yellow, or even clear, you are not getting enough water ( please note: taking B-complex vitamins will result in bright yellow urine).
Drinking coffee, sodas or tea does not count as they act as diuretics causing water loss. Therefore, for every cup of coffee you drink, you need to replace it with a glass of pure water. Distilled or spring is best, but filtered tap water will work just fine for most people. Prior to drinking, shake it vigorously for a while. This will oxygenate it.
Asthmatics also need to take more sea salt to break the mucus plugs in the lungs, which obstruct the free flow of air in and out of the air sacs. Taking a just a pinch of natural sea salt after every two 8 ounce glasses of pure water is recommended.
