Anything with any type of peppers in it is actually good at helping with Asthma or any other types of breathing problems. "Hot peppers work like expectorants. Capsaicin in the mouth, throat and stomach triggers a flash flood of fluids in the air passages, breaking up mucus, flushing out the sinuses and washing away irritants."
