Rating (out of 5): 2

Quail eggs have been traditionally used in some cultures, particularly in parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, as a natural remedy for asthma and other respiratory problems. The use of quail eggs for asthma is largely based on anecdotal reports and folk medicine practices rather than robust scientific evidence. Historically, it has been claimed that regular consumption of quail eggs helps reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks, possibly due to their content of certain proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants. Some proponents believe quail eggs have anti-allergic properties that could modulate immune responses involved in asthma. There are a handful of small studies and animal experiments suggesting that quail egg components, such as ovomucoid, may inhibit allergic reactions and inflammation. However, these studies are preliminary, often have methodological limitations, and are not sufficient to draw firm conclusions about efficacy in humans with asthma. Major medical organizations and systematic reviews do not currently endorse quail egg as a treatment for asthma, and more rigorous clinical trials are needed. In summary, quail egg use for asthma is primarily justified by traditional beliefs and limited, low-quality scientific exploration. Individuals with egg allergies should avoid quail eggs, and medical advice should be sought before considering their use for asthma management.
