Does coffee help with asthma?!


Question: Does coffee help with asthma!?
I was just wondered who of the yahoo! answers crew could report benefits from drinking coffee for an asthma attack!. It helps me personally, but as an official study it has only reduced 1/3 of asthma patients attacks!. I'm thinking asthma may have many different types because of this research!. Maybe coffee only helps those with certain triggers!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
yes it does!. my son suffered from severe asthma since he was born, and his pediatric pulmonologist had me give him coffee, and it always helped!. of course it wasn't very strong coffee, but it really did help him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Coffee can help in the acute case of an actual asthma attack because, as another user pointed out, it is a stimulant and opens the bronchial airways, however, long term use actually makes asthma worse because (in terms of Chinese Herbal Philosophy) coffee takes/drains energy from the kidneys (read adrenal glands) which over the long term contributes to difficulty inhaling!. In Chinese Medicine we say that the kidneys "grasp" the qi which means if the kidneys are healthy then one will be able to take that deep satisfying inhalation!.

In conclusion, if someone or yourself is having an acute attack and you don't have a pharmaceutical alternative or don't want one, have a strong cup of coffee, if it is chronic asthma avoid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't know for sure if it can help, but it can hurt you in other ways!. Coffee is VERY acidic, not to mention the caffeine amounts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
