Is there some kind of OTC meds. or some kind of home remedy or natural healing techniques that a woman can use to help her to breathe easier? She has COPD, and she takes 4 breathing treatments a day, and she sleeps with Oxygen at night. The breathing treatments make her really weak. Isn't there something that can help her to breathe a little easier? If you have any suggestions, pls let me know. Even the doctor says that he's heard of something, but even he can't remember it! Thanks!

Lobelia seed in organic raw apple cider vinegar and pure grain alcohol.
Therapeutic Action:
Lobelia is one of the most powerful and versatile herbs I know. In my clinic I learned to rely on this herb more than any other. I learned in the first few years of my practice: "When in doubt, try Lobelia."
Lobelia has two mail uses, first as an antispasmodic and second as a bronchial dilator and expectorant. As an antispasmodic it is second to none and will relax the entire body and organs. This is why it is one of the mail ingredients in the Nerve Formula.
It is also the greatest herb for problems with the lungs. IT IS A STRONG BRONCHIAL DILATOR. It will get you breathing easily again. It also will help you to expectorate material out of the lungs. I have seen it work with a hundred different disorders, When it doubt, try it!
In American herbal history, from Samuel Thompson, one of the great 18th century herbalists, to Dr. John Christopher, Lobelia was an important healing plant. This is the only herb that Dr. Christopher devoted an entire chapter to in his herbal book. Although currently in America the F.D.A. has cautioned us on using this plant, in Europe it is an important over the counter drug sold in many modern drug stores. To begin with, alkaloids are one of the most powerful of all plant chemicals. Not all plants have them. Some have a few, but Lobelia ranks high, with 14 different alkaloids. I am explaining this so you will understand that we know very little about this plant except that it is a powerful healer.

Breathing medications shouldn't be making her weak, they may however make her jittery inside. Has her doctor checked to make sure she doesn't need to wear the oxygen all the time??
