Hey, Karen. A favor? Consider trying wild cherry bark tea,
or a variant of it, for the asthma.

Michael,

I could look for the wild cherry bark tea at my local health food store
and try it. I was just there today buying horse chestnut for my brother
who has poor circulation due to diabetes.

My asthma was doing in remission for about three years. No inhaler and
no maintenance medications. But, we have a tendency to have wild fires
here in San Diego County and I ended up back on Singulair daily and an
inhaler every once in a while.

Question: I know that Singulair works on leukotrienes and not just
histamine response in the body. Do you know if the cherry bark has
similar properties? Maybe marshmallow root tea?

I have an interest in Chinese Medicine and herbal remedies. I guess
it's time to get the book out and see if herbals can enhance or replace
some of my prescription medications. I know I can't stop the meds cold
and not without a doctors permission, but all my prescription copays
just doubled and some of the meds require prior authorizations, which
seem to take forever.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Karen in San Diego
