| More than 25 million people in the United States have asthma. Effective management of asthma includes having regular asthma checkups with a health care provider, using asthma medicines properly, avoiding asthma triggers, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Complementary health approaches should never be used as a substitute for medical management of asthma or to delay getting care for asthma. If you want to add a complementary approach to your asthma management program, consult your health care provider to find out whether it's safe for you and compatible with your asthma treatment. The complementary health approaches that have been studied for asthma include: - Psychological and physical approaches, such as acupuncture, breathing techniques, meditation, spinal manipulation, and yoga.
- Nutritional approaches, such as herbal products, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, selenium, soy isoflavones, and vitamins C and D.
Psychological/physical approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, or depression may be useful for people with asthma. These approaches may help people feel better and improve their asthma control. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence that any dietary supplements are beneficial for asthma. |
