There are no 'alternative' remedies for asthma.
I encourage you to consider this advice from the Mayo Clinic:
"When considering an alternative medicine treatment, be a savvy consumer. Be open-minded yet skeptical. Learn about the potential benefits and risks. Gather information from a variety of sources and evaluate the information carefully. Assess the credentials of alternative medicine practitioners. And be sure to talk with your conventional doctor before trying any treatment — especially if you take medications or have chronic health problems.
Herbal remedies, vitamins and minerals, considered dietary supplements by the Food and Drug Administration, don't undergo the same rigorous testing and regulation as over-the-counter and prescription medications. For example, manufacturers aren't required to get FDA approval before producing or selling dietary supplements. Yet, some of these substances — including products labeled as "natural" — have drug-like effects that can be dangerous. Even some vitamins and minerals can cause problems when taken in excessive amounts. So it's important to do your homework and investigate potential benefits and side effects of dietary supplements.
Scammers have perfected ways to convince you that their alternative medicine products are the best. These opportunists often target people who are overweight or who have medical conditions for which there is no cure, such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS and arthritis. Remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Be alert for these red flags:
Big promises. Advertisements call the product a "miracle cure" or "revolutionary discovery." If that were true, it would be widely reported in the media and your doctor would recommend it.
Pseudomedical jargon. Although terms such as "purify," "detoxify" and "energize" may sound impressive and may even have an element of truth, they're generally used to cover up a lack of scientific proof.
Cure-alls. The manufacturer claims that the product can treat a wide range of symptoms, or cure or prevent a number of diseases. No single product can do all this.
Testimonials. Anecdotes from individuals who have used the product are no substitute for scientific proof. If the product's claims were backed up with hard evidence, the manufacturer would say so.
Guarantees and limited offers. These pitches are intended to get you to buy before you can evaluate the product's claims."
