Natural Supplements for Asthma

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of any natural supplements for asthma? My rescue inhaler

doesn't seem to help very much at all. It gives me a lot of side effects. Have

you tried what you're suggesting?

Thank you!

Hi, Sue~

I would think you would want to take supplements that minimize the

allergic reaction. A prescription would be Singulair. When my son was

using his inhaler a lot, he was on Singulair. He also used a long

acting inhaler plus an anti-inflammatory inhaler. He was on three. If

he was not getting helped by his rescue inhaler, I would call or take

him to see his allergist. If I were you, I would be contacting my doc.

Breathing is kind of important...

The shakiness that happens when you using the rescue inhaler will

resolve as you use it. I know my son hated the hand shakes he would get

when he started using his inhaler after not using it for a while.

As far as a supplement that helps allergies, this is what was

recommended to him: (no financial connection)
