I have suffered with asthma for a long time and have constantly searched for natural relief from this debilitating respiratory condition.  One that I have found to offer relief is licorice root tea.  The first time I tasted this tea, I could not decide whether my mouth was happy or upset with me.  Licorice root tea  has a very strong flavour that first-time users may detest.

  From experience, I can say that you will eventually become accustomed to it.  It ook me a few cups but we eventually got along. 

With regular intake of one cup per day (without sweetner or milk), I noticed my wheezing had calmed down and I was not as prone to attacks.  Licorice has also been known to help reduce ulcers and can be used as a cough suppressant and expectorant.
