Asthma is an allergy and is triggered by something. The best non medication treatment for asthma is learning your triggers and avoiding them. Common triggers are smoke, dust, mold, mildew, plants, dust mites, pets and grass/weeds.
If you can not figure our your triggers, you may need to see an allergist and have allergy screening done. This may point out your triggers.
The National Asthma Prevention Program and the Expert Panel of Diagnosis and Management of Asthma both agree if you have to use a prescription inhaler such as albuterol more then two time per week, your asthma is NOT in control and you will need a prescription controller medication.
Controller medications are steroids (Asthmacort Asthmanex, Flovent, Pulmocort), Leukotriene modifier (Singulair, Aculade, Zyflo) or mast cell stabilizers (Cromolyn sodium, Intal, Tilade).
You may want to talk to your doctor about several strong controller medications and maybe Xolair shots.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

While there is no herbal cure for asthma, I would suggest that you see a qualified alternative medicine doctor. If your asthma is caused by allergy, they seem to be somewhat effective in relieving, and sometimes curing it.
My asthma problem was actually caused by mold. I would have quit my job if they hadn't already decided to change buildings. Within weeks, all my problems with asthma went away. We suspect that this was the reason why my sisters' childhood friend actually recovered completely clear of asthma. She came from Massachusetts to stay with us in MN for 2 months. Never had another attack again and it so completely cleared up that she barely remembered ever having asthma (she'd been hospitalized for several attacks before that).
My brother, on the other hand, developed asthma as an adult. He moved to Florida and it cleared up for about 10 years, but now he not only has it back, but has allergies to things he didn't used to have allergies to including shellfish.
My coworker always had asthma attacks after mowing the lawn. He discovered that if he drank a cup of coffee, he wouldn't get an attack. So, after that, he switched to tea and used coffee when his breathing was troubling him. Anything that prevented an attack was good in his book.

There is no herbal cure for asthma. Actually, there's no cure at all. Also, there are many "alternative" drugs (herbs, supplements, etc) that can interact with asthma medications. Please don't play with things you have no knowledge of. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking ANYTHING, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

There is NO herbal cure for asthma! NONE! Certain herbs that supposedly are cures can, in fact, make it worse! It isn't worth the risk; see your physician for REAL treatments!
