Condition

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term condition in which the airways become inflamed and overly sensitive, so they narrow easily and cause wheezing, chest tightness, breathlessness and coughing. Probiotics, magnesium and saffron have the most support, and small trials found asthma symptoms improved with each, with moderate evidence. Those studies were small, often in children, and they were mostly add-ons to usual asthma care.
