title: Alternative treatment for allergy and asthma.
abstract: Treatment of asthma remains complex. Patients who are considering alternative and complementary treatments for asthma should have a good understanding of what the treatment entails, and whether it has proven ability to make an impact in the disease. One should remember, however, these treatments are made to complement most traditional therapies and not to replace them.
