So next time I am tight in the chest with Athsma, I chug a beer, and breathe in some of it also? :mrgreen: :wink:

Interesting nonetheless.

This is the reason it is so pleasant to stick you nose into a freshly opened bag of hops or sniff the aroma a nice IPA. It not only smells good, it also relaxes your bronchial passages. Or at least that is my take on this report. 8)
