My asthma has really gotten worse over the past 2 years and find that I am using my inhaler a lot more than I am comfortable with. How does the Green Tea help? Thanks in advance for more info!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 What steroid medication are you taking in your inhaler? I use Advair. It's a mixture. And my doctor prescribed the very lowest dosage. I only use when I start wheezing. Once or twice a day for a day or so. She said it would be better to put that medication right into your lungs than having to go on tablets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, this will sound terrible and I am sure I will get scolded for this (;0), but I use the over the counter, ever-so-dangerous, Primatene Mist. I just haven't made the trip to the doctor to have them prescribe something like Advair. I used to have very rare attacks and Primatene was an easy way to deal with it. Now that they are more frequent, I need to figure something else out. So, that is where I am at and would love to work on some natural ways to deal as well. How has Advair been for you?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Nikki, I used to be on 6-8 breathing treatments a day as well oral steroids for my asthma, I also have used Primatene when i couldn't afford medication. I started using mullein tincture about 8 years ago, it took me about a year but i have my asthma well in hand now, i haven't had any prescribed or emergency room treatments in over 7 yrs. I now make the tincture my self and rarely do i need to use it more than once daily. I will never go back on Over the counter or dr. prescribed medication again, my health is way to important for me to be duped into believing all the garbage they try and shove at us. Hope you find what you need. HUGGS Vicki Nikki Sherritt <nsherritt Monday, October 15, 2007 3:11:29 PM Re: Re: Anything good for Asthma?
