Asthma frequently surfaces during childhood,
and may be caused by outside allergens that can bring on an
attack or by internal causes, such as stress. People  with
asthma often suffer from hypoglycemia, were weaned too early
(usually before the end of the first year) and onto excessive
amounts of wheat, dairy products and sugar. The child may also
have been treated for early illnesses with immune suppressive
treatments (high levels of antibiotics, for example, which scientists
have found to be immune suppressive), which can trigger the
onset of asthma. Wheat, dairy products and sugar are common
allergens for those who suffer from asthma. Even when a food
intolerance is not the cause, they tend to play a role in a
larger picture.
For centuries, they have cultivated mullein in
Scotland and England as a herb that would help lung problems.
The reason mullein is so good is that it contains a good amount
of potassium phosphate and calcium phosphate.  These
two organic salts are essential for rebuilding tissue, the nervous
system and bone structure and in maintaining the body. Mullein
is an excellent herb for the respiratory system. It is also
very good for glandular problems, digestive and nerve disorders,
ear infections, as an antidote for poison plants, a pain killer,
bleeding bowls, mastitis and many other health problems.
Mullein is one of the best herbs for asthma. As
an astringent, it opens air passages allowing the person to
breathe more freely. Mullein is the leading herb in LIFE
