You could try Yoga breathing exercises, and there are specific yoga programs especially for asthma. There are quite a few breathing exercises you can do, not just through yoga, if you would rather do something other than yoga.

There are many supplementary treatments that are supposed to treat and control asthma, and many of them have had success stories. Herbal medicines have been proven to improve lung function quite significantly, however, it is a good idea to do plenty of research with each particular herbal treatment before using them to ensure you do not suffer any adverse reactions.
