Pranayama, Buteyko and Papworth which are the three most popular breathing methods for example each have different breathing techniques that can help put episodes under control.
Coffee: For fast asthma relief during emergencies (when immediate rescue/relief medication or medical attention is not readily available) try drinking two cups of strong, dark cofee. The compounds found in coffee have about the same effects as those of your inhalers. Dilating your bronchial passages as well as expectorating mucus within a few minutes of ingestion.
Steam Treatment: You can also use steam to achieve temporarily relief during emergency cases. Although inhaling steam from a bowl filled with hot water might do the trick, running hot water in the bathroom and inhaling the steam that rises can produce far better results.

The active components found in honey have been known to effectively break down mucus and relieve inflamed air passages. Although it is suggested that you use non commercial grade honey for full affectivity, commercial grade will also do in cases where the previous is not available.
Yoga: Pranayama which is a part of yoga that concentrates more on achieving wellbeing through breathing, have been also known to be effective during flare-ups and episodes. Pranayama actually has several stretches and postures that can help in normalizing breathing as well as mucus decongestion.
