Coffee and asthma

October 6, 2007 8:12pm CST
Did you know that coffee (black and strong) works for a asthma attack and that tea works even better? I hjust found out that it even works when you are sick and congested. Wow did it work to decongest. Do you know of any of natural ones out there?

thank you friend for this wonderful. this information will give me more reason to stick to my coffee habit. i drink black coffee everday. i prefer the brewed coffee. because it really tastes better than other types of coffee. sometimes i feel i am addicted to coffee. i drink more one cup a day. i try to lessen my intake of coffee. i would like to limit my intake to cups a day. do you think drinking more than two cups a day would be bad too. hope not. but if it is i would try to lessen it.

Really? Yes yes yes!!! If I can sense that I'm getting asthma attack, in it initial stage, I take a cup of coffee right away. I'm not even into really black coffee but I make it darker than usual. And yes, my ashtma attack sometimes just stops. Sometimes because if i take it a little later, it won't work at all. COffee really makes me feel better also with my sinuses. It is my "sort of" decongestant because I do not take medicines right away. If I can find a remedy without taking in medicines, i always find a way. ANd cofee is always my answer.

Oh that sounds interesting, I have a friend who has very bad asthma but she doesn't seem to drink tea or coffee so i will have to tell her this, I did read somewhere a long time ago that honeycombe is very good for people who have asthma, I don't know why but sounds like a good medication to me...hahahahahahah

yeah, I saw the same information on internet and I have told my husband to drink coffee last week for he suffers from asthma for many years. He told me that night after drinking coffee for the first time he feel good the whole day and did not use the inhaler and other medications. now he drinking coffee everyday and will keeping on. but I did not buy him the black and strong coffee, just nestle complete coffee mix, maybe the one you said is better, I will let him try it next time. Also, thank u for your attention on asthm.
