Asthma

If your are having an asthma attack and you are out of your medication, drink two to four cups of strong, black coffee.The caffeine in the coffee may give you some relief until you can get your medication. Jason Chu from San Francisco writes; "You note that caffeine is the active agent to offer some relief. Actually, it is not the caffeine which can actually aggravate someone who is excited, but the theophylline which is also in coffee that causes vasodialation and the relief associated with consuming coffee. The warm water vapor steaming from the cup of coffee also helps." Thanks Jason! Or, try this old time remedy: Roll spider webs in a ball and swallow. Believe it or not, but this remedy is still being researched today!
