Although asthma often requires medication to prevent and manage symptoms, certain herbal remedies can relieve shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, and other asthma-related issues. Herbs such as ginger, turmeric, and eucalyptus contain natural anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the airways. The most common ways people use these herbs to relieve their asthma symptoms are by drinking herbal teas In this department I excel in giving you the right herbs for your lungs. It is not always Elderberry which many of us think of when we have lung problems.
