I wonder what was in them. How did a little child know how to inhale and all? I have been asthmatic all of my life. Mom took me to a doctor in Charleston who prescribed little white pills. I can remember sleeping with my Uncle Athol Strickland of Blair who had asthma. We slept together so those asthma machines that sprayed vapor could run all night. Gracie, I am going to look for that mullein. Thanks.

From what I read, the leaves on Mullein are very poisonious so I would go to a health store to get that. Also you have to make sure that you get all the little fuzz filtered out. Let me know if it works. I have a friend that has had asthma all his life.
