Remedies: Asthma

Introduction
I have never had asthma. So I can testify that I do not know personally what works and what doesn't. All information here is based on a testimony of a friend, a testimony on the Internet, based on a scientific study, published in a newspaper, noted by a trusted doctor in alternate health, or other means not listed above. Always research therapies before you try them.

Possible Solutions
Wild cherry bark tea. It has been reported that some have completely stopped experiencing asthma attacks after taking this daily. It is supposedly also good for coughs and bronchitis.

Go on a preservative free diet. A preservative - antioxidant 320 or BHA has been noted on the website http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info to be a cause of asthma in many people. They note testimonies from individuals who removed this additive from their diet and had the asthma symptoms also disappear. Note that this is based on the failsafe diet which can be tricky to follow. According to the website if you make just one mistake and take a preservative that was not intended, you may not receive an improvement.

Note: The fail-safe diet is a low-chemical elimination diet recommended by the Australian Royal Prince Alfred Hospital - free of additives, low in salicylates, amines and flavour enhancers - for health, behaviour and learning problems.
