    treatment of respiratory disorders.

Nutrition and Lifestyle Instructions

  • Eliminate all spicy, cold and raw foods and beverages from the diet as they constrict the bronchial tubes causing spasms.
  • A diet low in spicy, raw, greasy and sweet foods is also recommended.
  • To avoid infection, a diet high in garlic, onions, and water is recommended. Stay away from cigarette smoke, alcohol, seafood, food additives (MSG, metabisulfite), and phlegm-producing foods such as sweets, dairy products, and heavy or greasy foods.
  • Supplying the body with vitamin C is important, as it is greatly consumed by white blood cells when fighting infections.
  • Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to facilitate the elimination of heat, phlegm, and sputum.
  • Since asthma may be allergy-related, eliminate foods from diet that commonly cause allergies, such as milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, and nuts. Sulfites – used commonly in restaurants to preserve salads, french fries, and avocado dips – are also linked to asthma attacks.
  • White radish is an excellent food to relieve cough. Take 1 white radish, approximately the size of a fist and cut it into thin slices. Mix it with 1 tablespoon of maltose and 1 cup of water and cook for 20 minutes. Serve the radish and the juice when they cool to room temperature. Another easier method is to mix the slices of white radish with honey. Wait for 30 minutes and drink the fluids that are secreted from the radish.
  • Lemon juice with honey is also very effective to relieve cough.
  • Warm and hot natured foods that damage qi and yin should be avoided, such as:
    - certain fruits like mango and durian that produce heat.
    - stimulants like coffee, alcohol, and energy drinks.
    - spicy/pungent/aromatic vegetables such as pepper, garlic, onions, basil, rosemary, cumin, funnel, anise, leeks, chives, scallions, thyme, saffron, wormwood, mustard, chili pepper, and wasabi.
  • Avoid food and drinks with artificial coloring.
  • Consume as few meat products as possible. Do not eat processed meats, such as lunch meats, hot dogs, and sausages, as they contain nitrites that are associated with inflammation and chronic disease.
  • Avoid exposure to pollen, dust, and drastic changes in temperature. Regular exercise with herbal therapy is the key to complete recovery.
  • For patients with asthma, vacuum and central heating filters should be changed frequently to keep dust, mold, and dust mites to a minimum. Installation of an air purifier is
    recommended for patients who have family members with infectious respiratory disorders. It is recommended to replace carpets with hard surface floors to prevent dust, molds, and other allergens from being trapped in the carpet. Bleach such as Clorox can be used to clear mold and fungus. Animal dander is also a major factor in causing allergies in patients. All contact (direct and indirect) with allergens should be avoided if possible to prevent allergic reactions.
  • Patients should be advised to stop smoking, and stay away from second-hand smoke.
  • Patients should strengthen their immune system and body resistance in between asthma attacks. A balance of exercise and rest is important. Alternation of hot and cold
    water in the shower is also effective to desensitize the body to changes in temperature. Herbs that enhance the immune system, such as Immune + or Cordyceps 3, should also be taken on a regular basis.

Dosage

Take 4 to 6 capsules three times a day with warm water on an empty stomach. Patients should begin taking Respitrol (Heat) with the first sign of respiratory discomfort for
maximum effectiveness.
