First and foremost is keep your inhaler with you anywhere you go. This could be life saving device for an asthmatic person. One should take note of the things done and food consumed whenever the asthma strikes. This would help preventing the asthma attack in future. Like some people are allergic towards the brinjals or the eggs, so whenever they have it, finds shortness of breath. If it is been noted down, in future a person remembers that these are the food stuffs they are allergic of and hence can surely prevent of this life threatening episode.
This is termed as periodic assessment and ongoing monitoring of asthmatic periods.
Ayurveda believes this can be prevented if taken certain care. One has to beware of any dust particles in the air. For that one can cover his or her face and can filter the air. He has to go away from the situation when the home is getting cleaned by means of dusting. If the allergen is known like some people know the food he is allergic towards, must be avoided in any circumstances.
Air conditioners, smoking and some triggers like pets, brooms, dusty desks need to be avoided. One can go for alternatives like vacuum cleaner.
All foods that aggravate Kapha Dosha must be stopped. Cold weather, excess amount of ghee, oily food, etc are silent triggers. Smoking, whether active or passive, is injurious to the lungs and so it can worsen the case of asthma.
