Plants that are good for asthma sufferers?
    #26939593 - 09/16/20 06:09 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hello,
My sister has really bad asthma, I'd like to find her some plants that can help.
I know curcumin from turmeric is purported to be beneficial, (possibly due to it's anti-inflammatory properties )

Are there any other gems that can help with this illness?
Thanks,

Smoking mullein is actually good for the lungs. I don't know if it treats asthma specifically.

The Buteyko Method is an approved treatment for Asthma in Ireland and the UK so maybe tell her about it.

Tulsi seems to help my asthma and breathing. Keeping my weight down and learning what foods aggravate it (dairy for me) has helped a lot too

Oh fuck no. Don't tell people with asthma to smoke herbs.

Where in the world are you located? I have had fantastic experiences with both TCM (radiational Chinese medicine) and Ayurveda (indian modalities).

Although slightly different, these practices focus on balancing the elements in the body.

I was first turned on to TCM during my methadone treatment while recovering from Heroin addiction. My Dad was trying to do everything he could to help me cope and noticed that I was sweating all the time. He happened to have business in San Francisco and was staying in China town. He stopped by a TCM Herbalist shop and explained to them what my condition was. They sold him so wang lo kat, which is a mix of herbs in concentrated pellitezed form that you brew in how water. IT WORKS WONDERS! TCM says that they control "heat gas" in the body.

If you can find an TCM shop/practitioner or an Ayuruveda practitioner in your area I highly recommend it.  Although the western medical establishment generally refuses to admit the stuff works, seeing as they want double blind studies before they will even consider recommending anything, many doctors have started supplementing TCM and Ayurveda.

Native Americans used to smoke lobelia for asthma.


There's alot of smokes that have beneficial effects on the lungs. But as we know smoke generally isn't good for the lungs. :ohwell: maybe vaping is better.

But I don't think it'd be a good thing to experiment with in that form. Not given that I know many people with asthma have an attack when they encounter smoke. Can always read up on the benefits of various teas and tinctures.

Cannabis is a bronchodilator, though I agree that it shouldn't be smoked.  In some states, you can get cannabis inhalers.  I think that would be the thing to try.

Datura and belladonna was smoked too for asthma. But, smoke and asthma don't mix even if the smoke contains beneficial ingredients its stil, well, smoke.

I was hoping to come at it from the preventative, maybe immune system modulating side of things.

I agree, smoking things is not a great idea.
My sister also hates anything psychoactive that isn't nicotine.
Doesn't drink, smoke weed or anything.
Although she is on anti-depressants.

Like there are a lot of herbal remedies that are purported to be beneficial to those suffering asthma. Turmeric, Mulungu, - many many more.
And these don't need smoking.
It's not about getting it in your lungs, but the effect it has on the bodies immune system (I hypothesis) as I believe asthma is about the body attacking itself?

A brochodialator for attacks is an absolute must, but she has an asthma inhalor on prescription.
