My son has asthma. Can Ayurveda help reduce inhalers?

Pediatric asthma responds very well to Ayurvedic adjunct care — many children significantly reduce inhaler frequency over 6-12 months. Important: Do not stop the inhaler abruptly. Reduction must be gradual, monitored by both the pediatric pulmonologist and an Ayurvedic doctor. Safe pediatric protocol (9-year-old): Sitopaladi Choornam 1.5g with honey twice daily (very palatable for children); Agastya Rasayanam 1/2 tsp twice daily; gentle daily Anu Taila nasal drops 2 drops per nostril before school. Avoid in pediatrics: Guggulu preparations, Trikatu in significant doses, all Rasashastra preparations. Lifestyle for asthma in children: Warm + cooked foods (no cold drinks, no ice cream), Pranayama practice (Bhramari is easy for children), avoid known triggers, ensure regular sleep schedule. Realistic outcome: Most children see 50-70% reduction in inhaler frequency within 6 months of consistent treatment.
