I'm creating this thread to discuss asthma and hopefully we can share something that will save a
life. I've suffered from severe asthma since the age of 3 and although it has gotten better since
then, I am currently on Advair (long-term maintenence medication) and a fast acting inhaler for
emergencies. Lately, I've become more & more concerned about the "S Hitting TF". What would I
do? What if it the world gets so bad that I no longer have access to this medicine? Then it dawned
on me. Asthma has more than likely been around a lot longer than the pharmacuticals. What did
people with asthma do 100 years ago? So this prompted me to do some research. There has to be
something natural out there that will help reduce symptoms of my asthma and hopefully get me
off of medicine all together. I'm currently doing that research and I thought, what better way to do
that then to reach out to my people on ATS. Anyone here that has asthma and has successfully
reduced their symptoms with herbs, fruits, plants, etc... please share your story!
So far here is what I've came across let me know if you've used any of this.
Mullein - Native American tribes used this for treating coughs, bronchitis and asthma
from what I've read it is very common in the United States which is a plus!
