Treating Asthma with Vaporizers

Ever since I was a little child, I had always had asthma attacks. I do not know how and when exactly it started, but I remember all the trouble my parents used to go through just to help me get through my asthma attacks. Asthma made me change my daily routine. I could never sleep unless I had a huge stack of pillows under my head; I always avoided smoke from cigarettes and car fumes because they triggered my asthma attacks. Food products with eggs, soy, nuts, and even fresh fruits like kiwis triggered my asthma attacks. I even had to avoid indulging in recreational sports like basketball and volley ball. My condition forced me to live in the confines of my home and school. It was definitely not a nice way to live.

I would often catch myself coughing at night and I would actually hear myself wheezing every time I inhaled and exhaled. This made me have a lot of sleepless nights; and it started to show. I had dark circles under my eyes, a runny nose, and inflamed often itchy, skin. Sometimes, I feel like I have had enough and I start crying, but even that aggravates my asthma!

Unfortunately, asthma can not be cured. I have taken many drugs, but they only work while I take them. Until one day, my doctor advised me to purchase a vaporizer. This changed my life drastically!

Vaporizers work pretty easily. They release warm vapor that really helps me breathe easier. In general, it is harder for me, and most people who suffer from asthma, to breathe cold air. And since vaporizers turn the air in my room into a moist and warm vapor, it allows me to breathe without difficulty.

I often put essential oils in my herbal vaporizer so that I could get all the goodness from my favorite essential oils without hassle. One of my personal favorites is mint because I find that it soothes my throat and nasal path ways. Another herb that works well when loaded into vaporizers is marjoram. It has been used for many centuries now to treat asthma, but using it through vaporizers seems to be the most convenient way to take advantage of its medicinal properties.

I love vaporizing so much that I have even bought a pocket vaporizer to give me relief from asthma wherever I may be! The best thing about vaporizing is that I could just turn the machine on before I sleep, or whenever I feel like an attack is on its way, and I could just forget about it. The incidence of my asthma attacks, even when not vaporizing, has reduced significantly; and I can live a normal, healthy life. Vaporizers make asthma manageable; in a sense it gave me a better quality of living.
