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.
