There is no cure for asthma, but the disease can be controlled in most patients with good medical care. The condition should be taken seriously since uncontrolled asthma may result in emergency hospitalization and possible death.
You can however control your asthma by with medicines that open the aiways (bronchodilators) and steriods that reduce inflammation in the airway.

Avoid the things (triggers) that cause you to have an asthma attack:
"Seasonal" pollens.
Year-round dust mites, molds, pets, and insect parts.
Foods, such as fish, egg, peanuts, nuts, cow's milk, and soy.
Additives, such as sulfites.
Work-related agents, such as latex.
Allergy Fact

About 80% of children and 50% of adults with asthma also have allergies.
Irritants

Respiratory infections, such as those caused by viral "colds," bronchitis, and sinusitis.
Drugs, such as aspirin, other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and Beta Blockers (used to treat blood pressure and other heart conditions).
Tobacco smoke.
Outdoor factors, such as smog, weather changes, and diesel fumes.
Indoor factors, such as paint, detergents, deodorants, chemicals, and perfumes.
Nighttime.
GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disorder).
Exercise, especially under cold dry conditions.
Work-related factors, such as chemicals, dusts, gases, and metals.
Emotional factors, such as laughing, crying, yelling, and distress.
Hormonal factors, such as in premenstrual syndrome.

Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.

If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.

The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.

Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).

You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.

If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

Unless the offending material can be identified and completely eliminated, there may be no cure, but just prevention of symptoms or exacerbation (worsening of symptoms). The bronchus are the main two upper branches of the airway that lead towards the two lungs (left and right). This area is for some reason (probably increased pollution) more suspectable to the autoimmune reaction of people. The body's immune system reacts too violently and attacks its own structure (the bronchus). Preventing and/or controlling this reaction (by avoiding it the bronches to a) swell b) constrict c) secret is the only way at this time to enable the person to breathe sufficiently.

Sorry, but there's no cure for asthma. To help prevent attacks, identify your triggers, be it pet dander, pollen, dust, etc. and avoid these things to the extent possible. Among the other tips given by others, include changing the a/c/heater filters in your house frequently.

First of all, there is no cure for asthma, there are only treatments for side effects. Air conditioning would help it, and more ventilation would be more beneficial. You need to speak with a doctor. There are allergy specialist's that can speak with you and tell you all the things that you need to do to reduce the side effects. Such as using hepa filters, having hard wood flooring, washing bed linens 3X/week in hot water......ect.ect. I suggest a doctor for you....

Guess there's no cure, just treatmemt. I was diagnosed in 1996 and have had to use an inhaler since. I use Advair, works best for me. The thing that causes me problems is high humidity so if it were'nt for air conditioning I would'nt be able to breath. Some people are effected by allergies.
