Asthma, an ailment of the respiratory track, is a highly distressing disorder, more so, when the patient is a small child. Fortunately, asthma can be completely cured by yoga. People, generally, never get an attack once they start doing the right practices. But children below 7 or 8 find it difficult to follow the recommended techniques. However, I have found the combination of the following practices sufficient to diffuse the attack and even avert it all together.

If it induces vomiting, well and good: it becomes a yogic kriyathat is an important part of the treatment for asthma.

Let the child blow a conch. It empties the lungs of stale air and fills it with pure oxygen, while exercising and strengthening this vital organ
Make the child practice makarasana a few times during the day. This asana opens up the lungs and drawing blood to this organ, rejuvenates it Technique: Lie down on your stomach with the head propped up, keeping the hands under the chin. Remain in this posture for 4-5min or more. Basil is known to have therapeutic effect on the respiratory system.
Keep a number of basil plants and encourage the child to spend as much time as possible near them to absorb its vapour. A simple but effective home remedy: Keep a basil leaf in a conch shell with a little water, overnight. In the morning, grind it and give it to the child. Asthma is basically a psychosomatic ailment and responds favourably to this simple meditative practice that small children find easy to follow. Technique
In place of the musical notes, Sa Re Ga Ma…, sing Oum Oum Oum Oum …
Ask the child to follow you for 5-10 min.
