I overcame childhood asthma with the healing power of nature

My suffering since childhood

I had been suffering from asthma since I was 8 yrs. old. Due to the chronic issue, I do not remember being off medication ever. It started with tablets and cough syrups. As I grew older, the intensity of asthma increased, and it interfered with my daily activities. I began using duolin inhaler, it is used when medications alone are not effective for asthma treatment and a combination of medicines and inhaler is needed. The asthma made me gain weight over time and increased my dependence on medicines and inhalers as well. Due to the constant breath struggles, I could not engage myself in any physical activity. I did try to look for alternatives to conventional medicines and sought temporary refuge in Ayurveda and Homeopathy. However, the effect only lasted until I consumed the medication, and then the situation remained unaltered.

At least once or twice a year, I was rushed to the emergency ward due to asthma attacks. Even though I could see the visible side effect on my weight, I had no choice but to continue with the usage of duolin inhaler due to the severity of my problem. Time continued to pass and here I was, a 54-year-old man with severe asthma and weighed 96 kgs. I was desperately looking for a permanent solution to my problems. This is when I came across Wellcure in Aug 2019. As I explored the website, I came across the Journeys section where I read Swatantra’s healing story. Her journey of healing from asthma resonated with me and I decided to send her a message. Luckily, she responded and agreed to coach me on my health issue.

How I made the shift in my diet and lifestyle

I felt optimistic after speaking to Swatantra. For the first time in many years, I thought that I could live a normal, medicine-free life. She explained how my asthma was the accumulation of toxins in the form of phlegm in my body. Certain diet and lifestyle change would assist in getting out of this problem. I did the following changes in my life:

• I turned vegan and cut off milk and milk products from my diet as our bodies do not easily digest it. It also leads to settling of phlegm in the lungs.
• I also removed wheat, white rice, processed food as it contains preservatives that cause more harm than good to the body’s system.
• I stopped adding sugar and salt to my food.
• I stopped taking hot water shower and instead began to take cold water bath as cold water improves blood circulation and speeds the process of toxins removal in the body.
• I consumed only soups, vegetables and fruits. The idea was to introduce as much raw and natural food into my diet as it is easily digestible and provides the right balance of fibre and minerals in the body. I reduced cooked food in my diet and ate steamed veggies. Swatantra had shared various healthy recipes from Wellcure with me. I tried things like Cauliflower rice, lemon coriander soup, different salads, and other soups.
• I replaced my normal black tea with herbal tea that consisted of cloves, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and honey. I also introduced turmeric tea as it has anti-inflammatory properties and consists of antioxidants in high quantity. It helps in clearing the congestion in the chest.
• I soaked the morning sun for 30 minutes each day.
• I performed oil pulling that helps in detoxifying the body and promotes tissue regeneration.

After following the above for almost 2 weeks, I could see noticeable effects on my overall health. Thus, I began adding more rituals to my routine that I continue to date:

• I apply eucalyptus oil on the chest after bath and before going to sleep at night.
• I do breathing exercises daily.
• I also make it a point to do brisk walk daily.

Though I have removed wheat from my diet, whenever Id do want to eat roti, I make sure the quantity of wheat is very less, and it contains 80% vegetables. I continue to avoid white rice and eat daliya khichdi instead.

After making all these changes, I’ve been witnessing constant improvement in my health since Dec 2019. My asthma is under control. From buying a new duolin inhaler every 10 days to now living inhaler-free, I am happy with the positive changes. I stay in Madhya Pradesh, and during the entire winter season, I woke up early morning and took a cold water bath. Still, I had no cold, cough or breathing troubles. Now I do not experience wheezing and breathlessness as I used to face before. Also, I have lost 8 kgs and my weight has come down to 88 kgs and continues to reduce. My immunity has improved multiple –folds.

Conclusion

I am thankful to Swatantra and Wellcure for showing me the way to live life naturally. Earlier, I used to worry about money as I had to buy inhaler and medicines frequently. But, now I am free of such mental pressures thanks to the power of Nature Cure. I am living a healthy, medicine-free life, and at the age of 54, my childhood illness has disappeared as if it never existed. I want to continue my journey towards living a healthy life with the secret tips and tricks of natural way of life.

I hope everyone reading this story decides to give a fair chance to natural living and explore its health benefits.
