Warm water boiled with a piece of dry ginger is recommended, along with fresh, light, freshly-cooked food. Beneficial foods include brinjal, drumstick, garlic, ginger, fenugreek (methi), green beans, honey, dal-rice, khakhara, millet flour, and curry.
What foods should be avoided in Rhinitis, Cough, and Asthma?
Milk, curd, ghee, ice, refined (maida) flour, bakery items, and frozen food should be avoided, along with most fruits and sweets, since these are considered to aggravate Kapha-related respiratory conditions.

Are these Do’s and Don’ts a substitute for medical treatment of asthma?
No — these are supportive dietary and lifestyle measures. Asthma and chronic respiratory conditions should be diagnosed and monitored by a qualified physician, especially during acute breathing difficulty.
