It's a blessing to be alive during a time when there are many options to help us asthmatics. We have rescue medicine like Albuterol to cure an attack, and asthma controller medicines to prevent asthma altogether.
Yet could you imagine living 5,000 years ago? How would you treat you...
When I was a young child and had asthma my folks would open and light a can of asmador--like a candle, and that's all they had to give me for an attack, other than sitting in a tub of hot water in a steamy bathroom. I now have COPD but have no asthma attacks as such, as I have my Combivent in my pocket at all times plus lots of maintenance meds. I'm nearly 85 years old.
