As an asthmatic I am firmly against any "herbal" remedy. Asthma is a serious medical condition and needs real medical treatment to control the triggers and to stop an attack. There are differnt types of asthma: onset from an allergin, exercise induced asthma, and others.

I'll be 36 years old next month. I had my first asthma attack, and was hospitalized, when I was in pre-school. Starting in pre-school and all through high school and into college I was taking medicine daily to control it (laugh). Alupent, Theo-Dure, Beclovant, Ventolin, Presnosone, etc.

To this day I do not leave the house without my "rescue" inhaler, Albuterol, and I take Flovent daily during the summer to control it. I know what seasons are bad for me, what activities will bring it on, what situations, and so on, but real medicine has saved my life countless times. See a professional!
