Here is some more info that might help you.
My daughter is 14, she has had exercise induced asthma since she was 8 or 9. She is also very active in sports, running, travel soccer, ice speedskating. We tried using an inhaler & it never really worked well and she had to scale back sports because there were so many times she couldn’t breathe. We were totally frustrated because no matter what doctor we went to see, nothing worked.
We have found that balance on the bottom of her feet can prevent the attacks. I don’t know why. We also use a capsule of Frankincense in the morning & sandalwood in the evening. If she gets stressed out we add Bergamot to her feet. We use Breathe & Lime on her back right before sports. However, the treatments that are the most effective are the Balance, Frankincense & Bergamot. Since we’ve done these 3, we don’t have any attacks. Sometimes she forgets to put the Breathe, Lime, Bergamot & Balance on before a workout . In this case the attacks are a huge order of magnitude less than they ever were so from this I concluded that the Frankincense/ Sandalwood must be having a big effect. I notice since adding these 2 in, especially the Frankincense that her overall breathing is much better. So I think the Frankincense is very important & I would keep on doing that. It may take time, but eventually the inflammation will be healed.
Diet also plays a big role here too. Sugars & therefore white carbs are major triggers for her, so she doesn’t eat sugar & eats minimal carbs. We also found a source of raw milk & use that.
I think the green food supplement is also a good idea. Actually, I was going to try that next. I’d like to get her off the Breathe & Lime so when she goes to sports camps she can do all her oils herself & I’m thinking the extra greens might help. I’m glad Ramona mentioned that because that was just a gut feel on my part.
I hope this helps.
You just need to experiment & go with your gut feel.

Subject: Re: [Everything doTERRA] severe asthma- going off medications
About 18 months ago, when I was introduced to these wonderful oils, my 4 year old son was on prednisone (for every attack), an inhaler twice a day (flovent) and albuterol as needed. We did go cold turkey off of them, and I'm happy to say that we haven't had to use one of the medications in all this time. However, he had only recently had the daily steroids added, so I think that would make a difference. Pat's suggestions are good ones, but I wanted to share my story to give you hope.
As for past lung damage, I have another story to share. My son who is now 11, when he was 3 had been through 14 bouts of pneumonia (every 6 weeks over 22 months) and they finally found the cause to be a nodule on the outside of his right lung, blocking one of the airways. It had caused a 1/3 of his right lung to be collapsed for most of that 22 months. They told me he would never play sports, that he would have severe asthma his whole life, etc. We tried for 5 months, on their meds to treat it and nothing was helping. Our next option was going to be surgery where they were going to crack open his chest, biopsy and remove the lump. They were planning the surgery for summer when he would be at the smallest risk of more illness. This just didn't sound right to me, so after many hours of prayer, I met a woman who introduced me to Super Greens by Dr. Young in Alpine. For whatever reason, I felt that this was my answer. I gave him scoops of the super greens in his sippy cups of soy milk, every day. I modified his diet to be mostly vegetables and whole grains. I cold turkey stopped giving him his meds. At the end of one month, when we went in for our monthly x-ray, not only could they no longer see the nodule, but his lung was no longer collapsed and the "damage" that had shown up just a month previous was fixed. They were completely stumped and didn't have an answer when I explained what I had done. However, even a follow up ct-scan 6 months later showed that the nodule was completely gone. He is active and runs and plays like any boy his age. He hasn't had an asthma attack in years and rarely even gets sick. My point in sharing this is that I truly 100% believe that healing can come through the natural God given tools we have. I don't believe that most medications are designed to heal but rather to treat. Follow your instincts, and it will all be okay. It may take some time depending on how long it has taken for the damage to occur.

She needs to have breathe in a diffuser so she can inhale the oils. Check out the Lotus. This is going to take some time, there is a lot of damage done. She needs to go off the meds very slowly and only when she is comfortable with her breathing. You might also consider two capsules a day with Frankincense and Wild Orange in them. You are going to need to be aggresive. I also highly recommend the supplements.

hospital several times. The last couple of years, her asthma has been
under pretty good control because her dr. put her on very strong
medications (advair-500 dose, singulair, flovent). She was taking
these every day for about 2 years. Before that, she was taking advair,
but not the other two. She does not like the side affects that go
along with these medications and we are trying to wean her off of them
and only use oils.
Has anyone done this before that can give us good advise? She was able
to get rid of her inhaler pretty easily with just using breathe. The
other medications are proving much harder. Your body gets addicted to
the steroid in advair from what I hear which makes it even harder. We
are currently using the following oils: breathe, eucalyptus, and
frankincense. We've been rubbing them on her chest. She is still
really struggling most days. Is there anything that can heal the
damage that has been done to her lungs? Please help us. She really is
sick of being so medicated all the time, but also has a great desire
to be able to breathe!
