6. Pycnogenol
Pycnogenol is an herbal product based on an extract from French marine pine bark. A review of multiple studies found that pycnogenol can help reduce symptoms of asthma and improve lung function. Another study conducted in children with asthma found that a combination of this extract and conventional drugs leads to fewer symptoms and decreased need for rescue medication compared with prescription drugs alone.
This herb should not be taken if you have diabetes, or take medication for blood pressure and blood thinners.
