No: There are no scientifically proven cures for asthma. Keep in mind that homeopathic medications are not safe simply because they are "natural", there are many natural compounds that can cause illness in humans. Unfortunately, homeopathic medications are not regulated by the fda in the same way as prescribed medications and oftwen avoid regulation by being labeled as foods or dietary suppliments.

YES (in some cases): While controversial & considered unproven by many doctors, homeopathy is often very successful in treating asthma. There are many many cases of asthma, both in adults & children, that have fully disappeared after homeopathic treatment. While some doctors may consider this a spontaneous remission or placebo effect, it is a cure nonetheless. See www.Naturalnews.Com/034097_homeopathy_myths.Html.

Not likely: There are no real cures to asthma that we know of. There are medicines to help prevent attaks but not to cure the disease.
