Does Using Dry Calamine Flower Helps To Treat Asthma?
my grandson has asthma and on New Years Eve needed his inhaler and we were at a party without an inhaler. Some one at the party had dry calamine flower as he was asthmatic and we biled it and gave it to my grandson and it helped.
can you please let me know where I can get this and does it really work

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to rely on his normal asthma medications first.
Though the calamine flower worked on that occasion,to rely on this to help him in an acute attack would put him at risk.
There is medical evidence documenting the effect of the inhalors but there is scant information on the use of the flower.
You may want to speak to his doctor for advice
I hope this helps
