CAM!

The alternative treatments for asthma and COPD are numerous. The recommended, or "supported by good scientific evidence" treatments include:

  • Boswellia
  • Buteyko breathing technique (BBT)
  • Coleus
  • Ephedra
  • Psychotherapy
  • Pycnogenol
  • Yoga
Beyond this, however, are heaps of other 'factually unsupported treatments'.

Some alternative therapies for smoking cessation include:
  • Certain herbal combinations, such as Kava Kava and Chamomile
