As a perfumer, I have a daily reminder with my colleague at work that even natural essential oils can trigger asthma in persons who suffer from the disease, even those essences known as a cure for it such as lavender.
I have noticed that, unlike allergies to other substances, these crises are caused yes by a certain typology of essences, but above all by their quantity in the air. If the intensity is low there is no crisis.
While most synthetic fragrances and incenses always cause a crisis in my colleague, his reactions to essential oils vary from a day to another. Some days he likes the smell of Lavender (True and Hybrid) and sometimes it causes a crisis. It is possible that when pollens to which he is allergic are present in the air, his sensibility becomes exacerbated and includes a range of essential oils smells.
I have used with success on many persons (and on myself) the essence of Geranium to stop and cure on long term use some forms of asthma and all the allergic reactions that I have encountered included skin allergies and allergies to venoms.
I have not found yet this property listed in aromatherapy books but I found it so stunningly effective that I use geranium almost exclusively for it (see the formula and properties of Anti-Sharks).
Studies also show that Curcumin has an antihistamine-like effect and can target respiratory inflammation. It can help to reduce the frequency and severity of allergic reactions and asthma attacks (See https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18398870/).
inhalation and proper breathing can also help in the long term cases for asthma. As a nose and a singer I am aware of the value of the various techniques associated with inhalation. For asthma sufferers their breathing becomes impaired on the start of an asthma attack for which panic enues and crisis occurs.
when a crisis occurs the victim will struggle for breath and even after the crisis is over shallow breathing continues even though they may not notice. This shallow breathing may become a habit. Thus denying themselves of life giving oxygen which supports all human existance.
By advocating simple breathing techniques when a crisis is not prevalent re deep intake of breath holding for 3 and exhaling for 6 and extending the amount of timed exhalation over a period the patient becomes aware of his lung capacity and control over breathing. This will help in controlling breath when a crisis occurs.
This is beneficial for all organs and well being

Your treatise for geranium is interesting…… what particular form of asthma are you referring? Is there a particular type of geranium that you have found efficacious? There is a young teenager who over the last few years has severe asthma attacks to pollen and any form of artificial perfume spray (the ones the young girls wear ie charlie types………….the school bus had to be stopped one day because someone had sprayed and she went into a crisis. She has to carry a gun at all times (to counter these attacks….. serious stuff)…………..janita haan morris

Salaam this is most interesting concerning the efficacy of something like african geranium.
Another patient who has serious allergies….so serious that even though there are no animals in the room but has been is enough for his throat to start closing up and eyes water…..this man could not stay in his fiances house even though she had spring cleaned from top to bottom after having animals……so sensitive to animal cat and dog particularly ….
Would you say the antishark formula could help someone like him?
I know another who is highly sensitive to dust …………is this a 21st century epidemic that is ascerbated by our clinically and syntheticaly clean environment? the young girl mentioned in the earlier email has been a vegetarian all her life and her parent also and they use all environmentally non synthetic products…..very strict environment ….. was never allowed in their bed and was a bedwetter till quite late in years (8) ….

composer natural perfumeIt is wonderful to see that your antishark remedy is being used in conjunction with homoeopathic remedies. I feel this is certainly the way forward for completmentary medicine. With something like Asthma, diet will also play a supportive role …… ie a natural diet will help…plenty of fresh salads and an avoidance of sugar and low in starch….. fresh comfrey leaves when in season with their salads…along with the gently breathing exercises…
There is also a reliable herbal medicine available for sufferers to make.janita haan morris
