As a slight aside, my wife has asthma and was on steroids for much of her childhood. She carried out the Buteyko breathing method (a course) and has been drug free for 5 years. Better for long term. Tends to be frowned upon by docs as they don't like alternative medicine. Technique involves breathing through the nose to regulate amount of CO2 expelled. Reduces overbreathing.

Hope this helps somebody....
