Resistance to chemically produced drugs, too little effect and the occurrence of sometimes severe side effects are the main reasons for this.

Alternative medical treatment options

The desire of very many people affected by asthma or allergic diseases for alternative medical treatment methods is great. They expect them to provide more self-determination, fewer side effects, and last but not least, greater relief or even cure of their symptoms.
