Ever tried to breathe through a straw? If you are one of the lucky ones who has never experienced an asthma attack or serious upper respiratory problem you probably haven’t even thought about it. I’ve spoken to enough sufferers to know how bad it is. Witnessing my young child having an asthmatic reaction to an allergen ranks high on the list of things not to experience if you have any choice in the matter. When it comes to those we love we rarely have the luxury to choose.

Asthma statistics according to the experts (you may want to skip this if you get upset easily)

Perhaps, like me, you already know asthma affects way too many people. Additionally it is on the rise and is supported by poor indoor quality, air pollution, poverty and inadequate health care. But according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (http://www.aafa.org) the stats are staggering:

• Asthma affects an estimated 20 million people • A full 50% of asthma cases are "allergic-asthma." • Since the early ‘80s the number of asthma sufferers has been on the increase across every age, sex and racial group. • Asthma accounts for one-quarter of all emergency room visits in the U.S. each year -- 2 million. • It also accounts for more than 10 million outpatient visits and 500,000 hospitalizations • Asthma is the most common chronic condition among children. It accounts for more lost school days than any other single reason. • The annual cost of asthma is estimated to be nearly $18 billion.

If you have asthma make sure you consult a physician… and then

Need I state that anyone with asthma should consult a medical doctor and follow their doctor’s recommendations? That much is obvious. But what if you are looking for more natural support?

I would like to offer a solution for additional symptomatic relief that is helping many asthma sufferers. The Lion’s Roar is an herbal blend of rainforest herbs that have a long tradition of use to diminish the symptoms of asthma. The herbs support the upper respiratory system both in the short and long-term.

Scientific validation of asthma relief

One of the merits of rainforest herbs is the amount of scientific research on them. Western pharmaceutical companies devote a great deal of time and money to understand rainforest plants and isolate important components. One such herb is amor seco.

Amor seco is one of the main ingredients in The Lion’s Roar because it contains some amazing attributes for treating asthma. While getting down into the weeds on this entails a bit of science babble the bottom line is this: It’s all about dehydrosoyasaponin and a few other unpronounceable chemicals. Believe it or not you get almost 6,000 hits on Google for that one word! Dehydrosoyasaponin is a powerful channel opener for potassium (known as maxi-K) and a very powerful one at that. The channels are important because they help regulate the tone of the smooth muscles in the airways. They also help release constrictive substances in the lungs. In other words, this chemical helps reduce both the likelihood and the intensity of an asthmatic or bronchial attack.
