Has anyone used a natural remedy to control their asthma?

I am an adult, with asthma. My triggers are exercise, laughing, colds, allergies. I use my inhaler everyday, which is not good.
I have no insurance to pay for drugs, but I am a member of Rx assistance programs.
I am looking for a natural way of controlling this asthma. I have used homeopathic, but did not stick with it long enough. I gave up too easily , I guess.
Anyone use Respitrol? Anyone have any experience and advice on the matter?

I had an asthma attack and my body became tight and stiff?

I had an asthma attack last night and I couldn’t open my hands or barely move, even my face and stomach felt tight and my eyes wanted to close. I know its from lack of oxygen, but does this normally happen during asthma attacks?
