Late Onset Asthma - Natural Treatments Requested

Posted By Dla1016 (Madison AL) on 02/24/2024

I have just been diagnosed with asthma at the age of 74! I am taking meds, got an inhaler, and am using a nebulizer 2times a day. I’ve had small improvement. What are some suggestions to help this diagnosis?

Here is a good starting point to manage your asthma.

A treatise of the asthma is divided into four parts: in the first is given a history of the fits, and the symptoms preceding them: in the second, the cacochymia which disposes to the fit, and the rarefaction of the spirits which produces it, are described: in the third, the accident causes of the fit, and the symptomatic asthmas are observed: in the fourth, the cure of the asthmas fit, and the method of preventing it is proposed: to which is annext a digression about the several species of acids distinguished by their tastes, and 'tis observ'd how far they were thought convenient or injurious in general practice by the old writers, and most particularly in relation to the care of the asthma.

Here is a book - A Treatise of the Asthma by Sir John Floyer Thorax 1698
