Copd treatment: Natural therapies for COPD are indirect. Pranayama yoga with breathing exercises can help the shortness of breath. Stopping smoking is the most important therapy. Dietary therapy with reduction in carbohydrates may have some effect and will be most effective in very severe patients as this can literally decrease carbon dioxide production--one of the tenets of using a supplement designed for it.
