Is there an effective cure for asthma?

Not yet: Currently, the goal for treating asthma is to identify triggers and use treatments to control asthma as no "cure" is yet available. The most effective treatments are the inhaled steroid medications. There are a number of other medications that can be used in conjunction as "add on" therapy. Allergy injections can be very helpful for those with allergic triggers. The future may hold a cure...

You don't: Asthma is a chronic condition of increased small airway reactions. There are genetic and environmental factors that persist throughout life, usually becoming evident in childhood. One learns to live with their asthma & present medications offer a near normal existence to most. There is no cure, there are programs that promote stability & reduced flare ups through early recognition of problems.
