Shortness of breath accompanied by cough is a very common symptom of cancer, especially lung cancer. Bronchogenic tumours may also cause shortness of breath or cough resulting from partial or complete blockage of an airway.
Natural Remedies: The use of honey is considered valuable in treating shortness of breath. It is said that if a jug of honey is held under the nose of a person suffering from shortness of breath and he inhales the air that comes into contact with the honey, he starts breathing easily and deeply. The effect lasts for about an hour or so. This is because honey contains a mixture of ‘higher’ alcohol and ethereal oils and the vapours given off by them are beneficial and soothing. Honey, eaten or taken either in milk or water, will also be beneficial in shortness of breath. Relief from cough can be obtained by use of grapes. They tone up the lungs. A cup of grape juice mixed with a teaspoon of honey can be taken with beneficial results in treating this condition.
