Mild-to-Moderate Exercise for Emphysema Treatment
Because emphysema symptoms affect your breathing, you may have tried to avoid exercise; however, though it may sound counterintuitive, you should attempt to at least follow a low-impact walking program as an emphysema treatment method.
Pregnancy can also make you feel short of breath, but it’s generally a good idea to try to move your body whenever possible (as long as your physician does not feel it would compromise the oxygen to your child.) Start small and work your way up – even just strolling down the street and back to your front door will make a difference.
Staying Clear of Airborne Pollutants to Avoid Emphysema Symptoms
If you’re already having difficulty breathing, the last thing you need is to be in polluted air. So an excellent way to combat emphysema symptoms is to make sure you live and work in a very clean environment. And of course, your baby won’t be exposed to those airborne toxins either, which is a nice “side-effect” of this emphysema treatment.
For instance, dusting regularly and vacuuming daily can greatly decrease the frequency and intensity of your emphysema symptoms. Additionally, you may want to invest in an ionic air cleaner, as many have sworn by this emphysema treatment.

Finally, you may want to avoid going outside when pollen counts are particularly high (as they are in the morning or on hot, dry days.) If you must leave your home and be out-of-doors for a substantially long time, a face mask can be an inexpensive way to prevent emphysema symptoms.
Natural Emphysema Treatment: Take Magnesium
If you’re not getting enough magnesium, you should probably consider switching to a multi vitamin or special emphysema treatment that contains this essential element. It’s long been suspected that magnesium plays a part in keeping cells young and healthy and new studies have shown that magnesium has decreased emphysema symptoms in many patients.
Besides, babies need magnesium (as well as other vitamins and minerals); as long as you aren’t taking toxically high amounts, you will be doing yourself and your unborn child good.
