We are 17 and my best friend has quite bad asthma. She very often forgets her pump and even though we remind her and ask her to leave pumps at our houses she forgets. She usually starts having an attack in the middle of then night. Is there anything I can do to help her. I have heard coffee works? Anything else you can recomend I could give her when it happens?

Yes, coffee will help. It needs to be as hot as she can stand it. Coffee has zanthines and caffeine which are natural bronchodilators and they help to open up the airways. Also run hot water in the shower or sink and have her inhale the steam. Open up a window at night for fresh air or go outside into cool night air. Run the air conditioning during the summer. Avoid getting too hot or too cold. Stay away from smoke or perfumes. Good luck.

Ask her to receive Reiki which works any time any place. She simply has to mentally say, "Yes, thank you Reiki. I accept you. Pl. heal me and help me." If you prefer, take a printout of this and give to her or better still keep with you and give her. Rub her chest with your palms while visualising Reiki flowing into her like a liquid glowing light.
She can also keep a hot water bag with her.
