The diet of a child with asthma is the foundation to help his/her healing. Avoiding refined flours, processed products and animal fats (including cow's milk) and refined sugar, is essential for a deep healing of asthma. These products harm the body's defenses and deteriorate and damage the nervous system. You should include vegetable juices such as alfalfa, tomatoes, celery, carrot, seaweed, etc. Garlic is a natural antibiotic for excellence. Giving a bit of garlic before breakfast with a glass of warm water is a very positive aid to combat asthma.

Here are some recipes that will promote a healthier body in your child.
