Some of my family suffered from very severe asthma too but they were frequently unable to see actual doctors or go to a hospital as they were refugees and had to go into hiding. Decades ago, asthma medication was also far less well researched. Nevertheless, my father for example was successfully treated and had his life saved by taking both some form of Yerba Santa and some traditional Middle Eastern extract, which included some type of honey, blended with black seed aka black cumin, chamomile, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, sage, spearmint, thyme and other herbs. Apparently, Black cumin seed, rosemary and thyme are known to inhibit the contractions of the tracheal smooth muscle that is (over) stimulated by histamine and acetylcholine. In fact, it seems the kind of stuff the herbalists in my family used, actually helped to prevent the typical auto-immune response of the body to allergens and represented some herbal form of immunoglobulin E (IgE) inhibitors. Scientists are currently researching ways of stopping antibodies forming that cause the chain reaction of asthma. Sadly, those recipes and herbal knowledge wasn’t passed on. I wish I’d have had a chance to learn more about it. Has anyone among my FB friends heard about those honey/seed/herb mixes to treat and even prevent asthma or knows how to mix it or buy it? I am taking higher and higher doses of brutal medication, especially steroids and seem to get worse and worse. And I’ve tried cutting out dairy products for many months and similar food groups. They are not my triggers! I cannot avoid the allergens as there are so many. Please no unsolicited advice on that. I’ve been there and back a few times! I am interested in anything that can actually tackle the auto-immune illness at its core since I cannot avoid every single allergen.
