5 Simple home Remedies To Relieve Asthma Attacks
Asthma is a chronic health condition that requires lifelong commitment and care.
One of the best treatments for asthma is preventing frequent attacks and identifying the triggers. It is, therefore, essential to avoid triggers like mold, dust, and air pollen. Another effective solution to frequent flare-ups may include taking annual pneumonia and flu shots. While asthma can effectively be managed by taking timely medicines prescribed by your doctor, you can top it up with certain alternative therapies and home remedies. Here are some of the popular home remedies for asthma that are worth a try.
1:Inhale eucalyptus oil
This has been used for several years as a natural cure for many ailments. Eucalyptus oil is often used as a natural decongestant to clear clogged airway and ease breathing. Adding eucalyptus oil in steaming hot water and inhaling the vapor can bring quick relief in respiratory conditions like bronchitis and asthma. You can also use the oil by adding a few drops in a diffuser and deep breathing.
2:Give hot beverages a try
Consuming hot beverages or caffeinated green and black tea can help ease asthma symptoms and improve breathing. It has also been observed that green and black teas work in the same way a drug works to open up airways. Caffeine further improves breathing and can be a great help during asthma attacks if had with prescribed medicines.
3:Mustard oil is an excellent reliever
This is another effective home remedy that can be used for immediate asthma relief. The fatty oil is known to contain isothiocyanates that are extracted from mustard seeds. This type of mustard oil is, however, different from the medicinal mustard essential oil that must not be applied directly. A mustard seed oil massage is said to be extremely effective in asthma attacks as it helps open the air passage and enhances lung function. Similarly, massage plasters that are made with seeds tend to leave a warming sensation that helps ease and subside flare-ups. However, one must only apply mustard plasters for less than 15 mins to avoid burning the skin.
4:Deep breathing works best
While breathing can especially be challenging during an asthma attack, it is essential to not panic and try to take slow and deep breaths. Since hyperventilation can further make breathing difficult, it is best you remain calm and prevent your chest from tightening up.Ahma
5:Take your medication as prescribed:
Do not change any medication or alter the dose on your own without talking to your doctor even if your asthma seems to be improving.

How to know if your home is infested with bed bugs
The first step to bed bug control is finding out the exact places where bed bugs have infested. Until or unless you narrow down the locations, using the best bed bug spray will also remain ineffective. So to obtain an optimum result on bed bug control, focus on the infestation corners.
How do you look for signs of bed bugs?
The accurate way to identify a possible bed bug infestation is to look for physical signs of the bugs. When you are cleaning, changing beddings and such, or when you have returned from a long stay away from your home, look for the following signs:
Any rusty or reddish colored stains on bed sheets, mattresses, and pillows, which are caused by bed bugs being crushed.
Small dark spots, which are bed bug excrement. These appear on the fabric as a marker spot would.
Eggs and eggshells, which are tiny (about 1mm).
Pale yellow skins that bed bugs shed as they grow larger.
Live bed bugs crawling around
Where do bed bugs hide?
The difficulty that a bed bug poses is that they hide when they are not feeding. Owing to their tiny size, they can hide around the bed, near the piping, in the seams and tags of the mattress and box spring, in cracks on the bed frame and headboard, and almost anywhere. When your room is heavily infested, you will notice them quickly, and you will find bed bugs in one or more of the following places:
Seams and folds of chairs and couches, in between the cushions and in the folds of the curtains.
Drawer joints.
Electrical receptacles and appliances that haven’t been used for a long time.
Under wallpapers and wall hangings.
In the head of a screw.
Bed bug control is essential especially for the reason that bed bugs can be anywhere in your house, unknown to you. So either contact a professional bug pest control company or take bed bug control measures yourself to make your home pest-free.
3 way to manage stress at work
**Image** source: google
Meeting project deadlines, designing marketing strategies, the pressure to perform well, completing the development task in a given time frame and the desire to be an all-rounder in the office-all of this causes an uncountable burden on a working person. Above all rivalry, misunderstanding and lack of communication added to mental stress often lead to the negative environment in organizations. Here are a few tips to manage mental health at work in a better way to endorse healthy competition and motivational environment in the office space.

1:Speak up
It is noticed that others mostly misunderstand the problematic behavior of one employee and it creates more troubles. Better bring your situation into the open. People will understand you and your problem only after knowing the reality, and that’s how you can see your issue with a different angle and deal with it better.
2:Don’t keep it covered
Some people still feel awkward in consulting psychiatrist or counselor due to the social stigma attached to it. So, always offer your hand to help the person dealing with a mental issue.
3:Seek help
Talk to your seniors or colleagues who understand you; most of the times it is piled up disappointments and sense of failure that cause mental stress. Discussing your problem with them may help in finding the solution and sometimes venting out your fear, guilt, anxiety,negativity and stress also helps in reducing the stress.
Conclusion
We live in a competitive world where the hectic lifestyle and continuous pressure to perform best at workplace often cause physical and mental fatigue. Sometimes, the excess pressure causes nervous breakdown and it may cause physical and mental illness. Many organizations offer counseling services as well. Talk to the concerned person, follow their advice and deal with the mental illness in a positive way and take the help of the professionals.

The new kind of law
As Christians we all know that they is old testament and a new testament
The old testament is based on law while the new testament is based on the grace of God.when Jesus died on the cross he demolished the low so that grace can abound.
Romans 6vs14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law but under grace.
For us to build up our Christian life and be strong in the faith,there is need for us to follow the right doctrine so that we may not be like children that are been tossed to and fro without direction.
We need to stand firm and not be move by all waves in the name of Christianity.
Ephesians 4 vs14 That ye more no longer be children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.
Understanding the old and the new law help us to know the finished work of Christ on the cross.
Below are old laws and the new laws
1:Matthew 6vs14: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
The above scripture tell us that our forgiveness can only be granted if and only if we forgive those that trespass against us it shows that God can forgive a man his sin on a measure that the man forgives his neighbor.
This the the new law
Matthew Ephesians 4 vs 32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Before Jesus died before man can receive forgiveness from God he must forgive his neighbor butThe new law told us that we have been forgiven by God through the finished work of Christ
That we should always forgive one another as Christ have forgiven us our sins by giving his life for us.
Before this new law can be part of us we need to learn,unlearn and relearn the teaching of the scriptures to make sure that we align with device will.
2 :love your neighbors as your self : this the old law.
Mark 12 vs31:The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself There is no other commandment greater than these.
You are no longer to love your neighbor as yourself because you might not love yourself in order words we are ask to love our neighbor as Christ love the church, even in marriage husband are ask to love their wives as Christ love the church
this is the new law in the book of John 13 vs 34_35
34:A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another 35 :By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
3:old law about eating some animalsthat are considered unclean and talking about eating of food sacrificed to idols.
This is the new law Romans 14 vs1_ 5
Vs 1:Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Vs 2 :For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Vs 3:Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Vs 4:Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Vs 5:One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
This is the new law that God's children can eat anything ,those that cannot eat are all thing are considered to be weak and the scripture warns that they strong ones that can eat things should not be a stumbling block to others that are weak.
Whether some eat and other don't and some celebrate a day while others don't the good thing is that we all belong to God.
The law is meant to guide while the prophet stand between God and man Hebrews 7 vs 11_12
Vs11: If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Vs12:For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.But the good new is that Christ have fulfilled the law In the book of Matthew 5 vs 17 and 18
Vs 7:Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Vs 18:For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
.Matthew 27 vs 51
:And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Christ have fulfilled the law by tearing the Vail in the temple that they be no longer a middle man and we can access him direct without passing through a prophet that his laws will be written in our mind not one the stone.
Hebrew 8 vs 10:For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
Roman 13 vs 8;Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
The new law is love

My testimony
I grow up with my elder sister ,who took me from our mum at age 9 to live with her and her husband in my state ,that was where I complete my primary school education and was giving admission to secondary school.
My elder sister love me so much as her own child,she provide all my need and don't use to allow me lack any thing at all,even among my mate I don't feel inferior because I already have all I needed,she called my her first child my angel she will always call me anytime she want to talk to me,that name my angel make me feel so happy any time I hear her call uncontrollably smile will spread on my face and super natural Joy will overwhelm my spirit soul and body😀
Growing up with her taught me many thing like cooking ,doing house hold chores and bathing kids at that tender age of mine I can bath a day old baby 👶,a times I used to feel she is suffering and maltreating me later I now discovered that it a necessary training that I must undergo at the earliest opportunity I then accepted it and started serving and helping her with the whole of my heart.
My senior sister is the most understanding and sweetest person I ever known .so loving to her children dedicated to the thing of God and people around her everyone love her a lot.

When admission list came out I was admitted to study microbiology as I always dreamt to study even when no hope of money I was happy been admitted into the university. God was so kind yo me I was able to get my school fee and some money needed to start . I don't know it happened but God raised helpers from all angle for me

10 Natural Drinks You Should take Regularly To Help Boost Your Immune System
Sickness occurs when viruses, bacteria, and other disease-causing organisms attack the body, thus leading to cell damage and noticeable symptoms. However, the immune system functions to safeguard the body against the activities of these organisms.
