my best friend has suffered from asthma all her life. I try to support her through all the attacks and affects but im scared as lately a local resident died from a unexpected asthma attack. I really don't want to lose one of the greatest people I know. Does anyone know any natural remedies for helping ease off asthma?

One of my best friends has brittle asthma and for the last ten years (at least) I have been in and out of hospital with her, watching her struggling to breathe, then being hooked up to a respirator. She has collapsed in front of me more times than I could count, but she is still here and believe me she is larger than life. She is not falling of the mortal coil anytime soon and I don't expect your friend will either. Relax enjoy your friendship, if she thinks you are worrying about her that is not going to help, is it? Get on with your life and have some fun, you both deserve it. Good Luck.xxxxx

Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways which really needs to be treated with inhalers which are prescription only. She should have a blue one to carry with her at all times to use in an emergency and a brown one to use every day as a preventor. If she uses these regularly and is well controlled she will not die. There really is no known 'certain' natural remedies or cures. Her local surgery will have an asthma clinic who will provide lots of information & assess her asthma, provide necc medications etc.

Asthma is easy to control with the right meds and as long as she is doing everything right she isnt likely to die. For Gods sake dont bring this up and panic her out. Trust her if she is sensible and takes meds carries her inhaler, she is doing ok. Remind her to get it when you go out, and most importantly make sure she doesnt smoke. If she does encourage her to give up.

asthma is all in prevention rather than cure.
most sufferers are allergic to something which will in turn then set off their asthma, but anything that gets the heart rate going can also trigger an attack...............aswell as changes in temperature.
Mine is much worse in colder weather.
ppl die from it everyday but then ppl die from everything everyday - dont panic when you probably dont need to!!

Once she has her inhaler with her she will be fine. If she is allergic to certain foods make sure you know what they are so that you can both inform people. Don't worry your friend will be with you for a long time if you are going to mind her
