Caffeine is a weak bronchodilator and it also reduces respiratory muscle fatigue. Ginger has been proven to unplug blockage of bronchial tubes and nasal passages. This beverage is thus an excellent natural remedy for occasional, light asthma attacks brought on by colds or allergies (in the case of severe asthma, use your regular medication or consult your doctor).

2 tablespoons ground coffee beans
1/2 cup soy milk
1-2 inches fresh ginger root

Grind ginger root. Mix soy milk and ground ginger. Froth milk if so desired. Place enough water to make 2 cups in the coffeemaker, more if desired. Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to each cup. Drink at the first sign of wheezing.
