Discuss any treatment approaches you plan to take with your doctor.
While your doctor may recommend natural methods to help control your asthma, don’t try any remedies without consulting them first. They will need to assess how severe your symptoms are and whether the treatments you want to try are likely to be safe or effective for you. Some herbs, vitamins, and dietary supplements can interact badly with medications you may be taking. Always tell your doctor about any medications or supplements you are currently using.
