Cayenne may seem counterintuitive for asthma but most herbalists recommend it as a good therapy. It is antispasmodic helping to relieve bronchial spasms. Cardiotonic properties regulate heartbeat helping to prevent shock from severe asthma attacks. Cayenne is one of the best herbs when shock is already present.
Cayenne is also expectorant, thinning out mucus to clear congestion.
One of the best "one-twos" against an asthma attack is cayenne together with lobelia, a calmative decongestant.
