4. Garlic

Asthma is an inflammatory condition. Garlic is anti-inflammatory and has antiasthmatic properties. In a 2019 study on allergen-induced airway inflammation in mice, garlic extracts lowered inflammatory cell counts, but more research is required. Incorporating fresh garlic while cooking may be of benefit, but bear in mind that garlic can cause gas, which might put pressure on the diaphragm and affect breathing.
