The Gourd... A Cure for Asthma?

The Nigerian Tribune reports on interesting natural methods of dealing with asthma, even suggesting that the affliction can be cured.

One of the methods involves gourd juice: "A cupful of fresh bitter gourd juice mixed with a table spoonful of pure honey taken once daily for three to four months depending on severity of asthma, according to natural medicine practitioners would cure asthma and chronic bronchitis."

It's hard to say if this works. There is a great deal of promise in natural methods that may or may not work, depending on the person. As an asthma and severe allergy sufferer myself, I'd look to any possibility with hope, mixed with a certain degree of skepticism.
