Forgotten Cures: Asthma
Asthma
* Asthma relief from hot Tea or Coffee. Don Ryan
* For asthma, an old neighbor of ours said a teaspoon of
sugar and saturated with turpentine would cure an attack. He gave me a
spoonful once, and it was so nasty I just held it in my mouth until I
got outside and could spit it out. Since I didn't swallow, I'll never
know if it would've worked. (Seems to me that the turpentine would be
like taking poison, so I wouldn't advise this.)

* Simply add a teaspoon of comfrey preserve to any
non-herbal tea. (Comfrey preserve is comfrey mixed with honey, and to
make comfrey preserves, boil 2 cups finely chopped comfrey in 1 quart
water until the comfrey is nearly dissolved. - Don't add extra water -
and then mix in 1 cup of honey.) Not only will this mixture alieviate
current symptoms, the comfrey works to actually heal damged lungs.
This remedy also works for coughs associated with colds.
