Has anyone tried any natural methods for your COPD? If so, please let me know if any have worked at all please. I am currently on Spiriva and Symbicort and the out of pocket costs are ridiculous. Also the side effects on the Symbicort are not making me feel so hot. The symbicort also caused me to have severe anxiety and out of control eating issues. Is this normal? I mean, truly, I want to eat 24-7 and I never eat over 2000 calories a day. This is insane.
There are things that individuals claim are helpful; maybe they are, but there's very little scientific evidence behind most of them. Go to the NIH website and look up natural remedies. You'll find a very helpful list there.
I have been trying an herb called OSHA root. So far it just breaks up the phelegm
I have essential oils to help me breath, peppermint and euculpus,(didn't spell that right), plus lavender is always good to help relax.
I heard putting CBD (sp) oil under the tongue helps with breathing. Haven't tried it yet, but would like to.
I use essential oils to help me and they do one is a blend called respitory ease helps!
