Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 The person at the " health food " store said to smoke the mullen plant for asthma. This is what people used to do before inhailers were invented. I bought some, put it in a pipe, smoked it and inhailed deeply. Nothing! Didn't do any good, didnt hurt either. When I told my doctor about my little experiment she was shocked. She told me never to try anything like that again. (This was 2 years ago before Xolair came out) My father was a bad asthmatic too. He lived form 1917-1992. He used to tell me about " asthma powders " that came in a can. You would open the can, light the contents and breathe in the smoke. He said he got some relief that way. I think it was a form of the Mullen plant. Well, from now on, if the doctor says it's ok, then I will try it. UPDATE: I am still on 20mg of Pred a day. I have tried to taper down to 10 mg but without success. The mold is unusually high right now and the heat and humidity is terrible. I will be glad when it gets cooler so i can get back off my pred.
