Yes! I tried the drink because it was winter at the time and I thought it sounded like a nice warm drink for a chilly day. I had no thoughts about it affecting asthma at the time. When I realized I was using my inhaler less, I could scarcely believe it. To me, this is a miracle. If you or anybody you know has asthma - especially the severest kind where they regularly struggle to breath and have to use an inhaler regularly - please, please, please do persuade them to give the ginger tea a try. I can't say enough what a difference it has made in my life.
