What are some ways to prevent and/or treat asthma without the use of medications?
I seem to need either the Advair Diskus, Albuterol Inhaler, or Nebulizer with Albuterol Sulfate or a combination of them on a daily basis. I was wondering if there are certain types of things to do or foods to eat or anything else that can help prevent or treat asthma so that way I can maybe cut back on the medicine a little.
Dear Alex, I’m so glad to see you asking a question. I was worried about you.
I would suggest that you work with your doctor on getting your asthma under control first, then start to think of ways to help your symptoms without more medicine. I know you like to be healthy without medicine but if you have asthma, you must take your medicine or you could die the next time you have an asthma attack. It would make me so sad to know if you died because you didn’t take your medicine. Now, your asthma could be caused by an allergy. Many people have moved to places that are dry and warm/hot all the time (like Tucson, Arizona). For many people, the drier air clears the asthma. Of course, you can think of that sort of thing as a last resort. So, yeah, talk to your doctor about getting it under control first, then think of ways to combat it without medicine.

As someone who has used a combination of all three and many other drugs over the years I can say there is very little you can do except find out the main trigger for your attacks and avoid it like the plague.
For instance, smoke is my trigger. Mainly smoke from cigarettes, pipes, etc. but smoke of any kind is likely to set me off.
I avoid sitting close to fires, being around people who smokes, large public crowds were smoking is permitted, huge firework displays, etc.
This helps greatly but I still have to manage my condition and occasionally treat an attack.

There are some simple methods you can do at home to help you relieve your symptoms. Among the more popular natural remedies is boiling milk with garlic. This concoction will help you relax your throat muscles. Adding lemon to your diet also helps. In addition, many people find that tea to be a good remedy as well. You can add a little honey or ginger or even garlic into the tea. These methods are quite effective but not for fast relief as the inhaler.
