To realize the purpose of the study, a system-functional analysis of special literature and materials of the Internet was used.Results. The standard approach to antiasthmatic therapy does not always lead to a controlled course. Reducing the impact of allergens both in the home and in the workplace is an effective measure to control the disease. Phytotherapy and reflexology are widely and effectively used.
