Asthma

Quick navigation

Asthma definition

Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs get less air.

Supplements that help with Asthma

  • Boswellia serrata for Asthma

test
Moderately Positive

In the control group of 40 patients 16 males and 24 females in the age range of 14-58 years with mean of 32.95 +/- 12.68 were treated with lactose 300 mg thrice daily for 6 weeks. Only 27% of patients in the control group showed improvement. The data show a definite role of gum resin of Boswellia serrata in the treatment of bronchial asthma.

  • Forskolin for Asthma

test
Moderately Positive

Values of forced expiratory volume in 1 s and forced expiratory flow, mid-phase, A similar in the two groups during the treatment period. We conclude that forskolin is more effective than sod cromoglycate in preventing asthma attacks in patients with mild persistent or moderate persistent asthma.
test
Moderately Positive

All drugs were administered by metered dose inhalers. The bronchodilating effect (after 5 minutes) was as good as following fenoterol. At the beginning (after 3 and 5 minutes) the protective effect against inhaled acetylcholine was as good as following fenoterol while later on (after 15 and 30 minutes) fenoterol resulted in a stronger action.

  • Magnesium for Asthma

test
Slightly Positive

Adults who received oral Mg supplements showed improvement in objective measures of bronchial reactivity to methacholine and PEFR and in subjective measures of asthma control and quality of life.
test
Slightly Positive

Regular dietary supplementation with vitamin C or magnesium adds no clinical benefit to current standard therapy of asthma in primary care patients.
test
Slightly Positive

Oral magnesium supplementation helped to reduce bronchial reactivity to methacholine, to diminish their allergen-induced skin responses and to provide better symptom control in pediatric patients with moderate persistent asthma treated with inhaled fluticasone.
test
Slightly Positive

Bronchodilator use was significantly higher after 8 and 12 weeks in the placebo-treated than in the Mg-treated patients with moderate asthma (31.1 +/- 1.8 versus 29.5 +/- 1.2 puffs per patient/4 weeks, p < 0.05, and 31.0 +/- 2.3 versus 29.3 +/- 0.9 puffs per patient/4 weeks, p < 0.05, respectively). Long-lasting Mg supplementation is clearly of benefit in mildly to moderately asthmatic children and is recommended as a concomitant drug in stable asthma.

  • Drumstick Tree for Asthma

test
Slightly Positive

Treatment with the drug for 3 weeks produced significant improvement in forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, and peak expiratory flow rate values by 32.97 ± 6.03%, 30.05 ± 8.12%, and 32.09 ± 11.75%, respectively, in asthmatic subjects. Improvement was also observed in % predicted values. None of the patients showed any adverse effects with M. oleifera. The results of the present study suggest the usefulness of M. oleifera seed kernel in patients of bronchial asthma.

  • Black cumin for Asthma

test
Slightly Positive

The score of subjective feeling decreased over the course of treatment with black seed oil in all four studies. A slight decrease in plasma triglycerides and a discrete increase in HDL cholesterol occurred while the lymphocyte subpopulations, endogenous cortisol levels and ACTH release remained unchanged. Black seed oil therefore proved to be an effective adjuvant for the treatment of allergic diseases.
test
Slightly Positive

The usage of inhaler and oral beta-agonists, oral corticosteroid, oral theophylline and even inhaler corticosteroid in the study group decreased at the end of the study while there were no obvious changes in usage of the drugs in control subjects. The results of phase I study generally suggest a prophylactic effect of N. sativa on asthma disease and warrant further research regarding this effect.

  • African Geranium for Asthma

test
Slightly Positive

Our study shows that Pelargonium sidoides may prevent asthma attacks during upper respiratory tract viral infections.

  • Pycnogenol for Asthma

test
Slightly Positive

Within the contingent of 22 patients who completed the study, almost all responded favorably to Pycnogenol in contrast to placebo. Pycnogenol treatment also significantly reduced serum leukotrienes compared with placebo. The results of this pilot study indicate that Pycnogenol may be a valuable nutraceutical in the management of chronic asthma. We recommend that further clinical trials be conducted in larger groups of asthmatics to establish its efficacy.
test
Slightly Positive

Pycnogenol® administration was effective for better control of signs and symptoms of allergic asthma and reduced the need for medication.

  • Vitamin D for Asthma

test
Slightly Positive

This study suggests that vitamin D(3) supplementation during the winter may reduce the incidence of influenza A, especially in specific subgroups of schoolchildren. This trial was registered at https://center.umin.ac.jp as UMIN000001373.
