See below: Per medical studies, there are no natural herbs, plants, or supplements that have shown to definitively help asthma symptoms. But some methods like yoga, acupuncture, and biofeedback may help reduce stress and thus reduce asthma symptoms.

Avoidance of trigger: If asthma is provoked by exposure to pollens, dust, animal dander, etc, avoiding these triggers can help. It is also advisable to avoid fumes , chemical sprays (perfumes, cleaning aerosols, etc), and heavy air pollution. For example, avoid outdoor exercise if air quality is poor. A healthy lifestyle (anti-inflammatory diet and regular aerobic exercise) may improve symptoms.

Don't fool w asthma: Asthma is a potentially life threatening disease with excellent medications available to control symptoms. Don't play doctor, see one! once that is done there are things that you can do to further help. Avoid smoke exposure, avoid/minimize known allergen exposure, in a subset of asthmatics Aspirin and related medications (nsaids) can aggravate asthma and good nutrition as with all chronic disease.
