Before current standards Cortison was much more common, often with theophylline. That would have been the recipe in the 80/90 in a lot of countries, with the first beta2 sympathomimetics coming up(Fenoterol). Before that (60-70ies)theophylline and Ephedrine were often given solo, sometimes with a barbiturate to counter the simulant, also prednisone started to gain traction.

Before that my sources didn't offer much,but Datura stramonium (Thornapple) was often used for ages - mostly smoked.

Nice article here,but it contains some errors: https://www.news-medical.net/health/Asthma-History.aspx
