Asthma is Serious: You should follow the discretion of your doctor, especially if you trust him or her. There are absolutely no proven natural remedies for asthma.

Define "naturally": I agree there is no proven natural remedy if you're talking about herbal supplements, etc. Now, if you have allergic asthma, immunotherapy is shown to improve asthma control. This is a long-term process by which your immune system is changed with regular injections of allergen extract (also referred to as allergy shots). Some would consider that more natural.

Agree with Dr. Silge. Asthma treatment includes avoiding triggers (as possible), medications (quick relief and daily controller if persistent) and allergy injections if allergic trigger identified.
