I have asthma. Can I control asthma without medications?

It is possible but only if you have a very mild asthma. Some asthmatics have only emergency albuterol for just in case if they get a reaction to something. For example a strong sense of perfume or smoke smell or heavy exertion like exercise. That is all depends on what type of asthmatic you are and how often your asthma really bothers you. However if you are someone who falls into mild/moderate, moderate, moderate/severe, or severe cases; at that level you will always need to be on some daily control medication.
