Today, we’re going to talk about the best natural things to do for difficulty breathing, air hunger, or dyspnea.


Traditionally, people may have heard of this symptom being caused by asthma, pneumonia, COPD, lung infection, anemia, or a heart condition. But what if you rule these conditions out and still have problems breathing?


This is called pseudo-dyspnea. With pseudo-dyspnea, you may feel better with exercise and worse with rest.

1. Silent reflux

Natural solutions:

• Chlorophyll
