My boyfriend has asthma and he’s sick of the pills and inhalers. He would rather do something much more natural to support it. Anyone have any ideas or do anything to assist their asthma?
Answer by Mickie
I’ve never ever seen anybody with asthma be really improved on herbal remedies and it would involve a lot more pills than he was taking just before.

Try making use of something referred to as ambrotose. It is an all natural food suplement that helps with lots of difficulties, 1 of which is asthma.

The ideal non-medication therapy for asthma is to learn your triggers and steer clear of them. Asthma is an allergy. Allergies are triggered by irritants. If its pets, don’t let the pet in the home or at least not in the bedroom. If its smoke, don’t smoke or go locations that are smoky. If you are unable to figure out your triggers, you will need to have prescription medicines. Natural remedies just don’t work most of the time. That stated, a new study showed that a huge quantity of fish oil pills each and every day will support with relieving asthma symptoms. The test subjects had been taking 12-15 fish oil pills each day.
Good luck

pills and inhalers are there to control his asthma. There is no “cure’ for it. I would not suggest any “natural” cures for him. If the pills and inhalers are working I would suggest to keep taking them or go to his doctor and get a diffrent type of medication. I am on advair everyday and I have no problem with it. He should try going to an asthma specialist and having a few tests done.
I cannot believe all of the asthmatics on YA have not heard of the Buteyko method. It is a breathing technique that retrains asthmatics to breathe normally.
Personally, I think the buteyko theory is wrong, but who cares, the practice is right, it works.
I have had personal experience with this method, with my asthmatic son. Severe asthmatic since 2 1/2, mostly controlled by taking a preventative twice a day for his whole life, and ventolin and atrovent when required. At 12 it started getting worse, stronger and stronger preventatives and treatments did not last.
After learning Buteyko, and using it firstly as a treatment for symptoms, then as a preventative whenever symptoms first presented themselves, he has now been effectively asthma free for two years. No preventative, no ventolin, not even any more buteyko. Check it out. It takes time and effort and dedication, and it wasn’t cheap, but a lifetime free of asthma is the reward.
