Some 15 million people in the United States have asthma, a serious chronic disease of the lungs caused by swelling in the airways.
Many people depend on inhalers and other medications to help ease their symptoms. Others are turning to alternative and complementary medicine to try to find relief, despite studies about asthma and supplements that have been unable to find any proof of benefit or harm.
In addition to herbal supplements, acupuncture, applied kinesiology, diet and exercise are some of the ways people can deal with asthma and allergy issues, according to Dominic Stape, a doctor of Oriental medicine in Albuquerque.
