I copied this from WebMd.com:
Whatever you do, don't go out and adopt a Chihuahua to cure your asthma, says Christopher Bates, MD, asistant professor of medicine at National Jewish Medical Center in Denver, Colo. It's not that they are any more likely than other pets to cause asthma, but they certainly don't prevent it as common folklore suggests, he says. "Some cultures believe Chihuahuas take your asthma away from you and that's not true," he says.
There is some evidence that if you're having an asthma attack and you can't get to yourprescribed medicine, two to four cups of black coffee can help, he says. "Coffee contains a substance related to an asthma drug called theophylline," he says. "But a recent study showed that this really made no difference in terms of emergency room visits," he adds.
"Asthma can be aggravated by cold dry air and the only tried and true home remedy is boiling a kettle of hot water on stove and putting a towel over your head and inhaling the steam because the warm humidified air is good for asthmatic lungs," he says. If you have asthma, make sure your medications are with you at all times and if you suspect that you have asthma, see a doctor to get the proper diagnosis and treatment, he says.
