BRONCHITIS & LUNG HEALTH
Recurrent bronchitis and lung infections are more common than ever - natural medicine can help you reduce congestion, irritation, and boost your immune system...
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways. It can occur acutely as the result of an infection or chronically in the case of respiratory diseases like asthma, or emphysema. Acute bronchitis begins with cold symptoms and a dry cough. As it progresses the cough becomes deeper, painful and more productive.
Phlegm can be clear, white or yellow and varies in thickness. Chest tightness and breathlessness can occur. Acute cases usually resolve in a few weeks.
The cough of chronic bronchitis is usually less severe but constant. Phlegm may or may not be produced. This is usually caused by repeated irritations like tobacco smoke, environmental chemicals or other allergens. A weak immune system can also result in repeated bronchial infections.
Conventional treatment of severe or chronic bronchitis involves bronchodilators. They treat the symptoms of bronchitis by reducing bronchospasms and inflammation. They do not address the root cause of the problem. Acute infective bronchitis is often treated with antibiotics. Make sure to replace the helpful bacteria in your system with a probiotic supplement after antibiotic therapy.
Avoidance of all irritating substances is important for prevention of bronchitis. Home air purification systems, humidifiers and dehumidifiers can be helpful. Keep plants that remove pollutants from air. These types include bamboo palm, Boston fern, dracaena, English ivy, ficus ali, peace lily, rubber plant and spider plant.
Regular moderate exercise and deep breathing practices can decrease hypersensitivity of the airways. Steam inhalations with thyme or eucalyptus essential oils are antispasmodic and antimicrobial.
Use hydrotherapy to boost the immune system. At the end of your shower alternate one minute of hot water with one minute of cold water. Alternate several times always ending with cold. To restore strength to the lungs blow up a balloon several times a day.
Dietary approaches to bronchitis are as follows. Increase fluid intake to decrease viscosity of mucous secretions. The lungs are used as a pathway for toxins to be excreted when the primary organs of detoxification are overwhelmed.
Detoxify your body periodically to decrease the amount of toxins being processed through the lungs. A diet high in raw fruits and vegetables provides a good source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Onions and garlic are good sources of substances that make up anti-inflammatory compounds and help to kill microbes. Flaxseed and fish oils contain essential fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory. Avoid animal products because they contain inflammatory precursors. Avoid dairy products, processed foods, white flour and sugar products all of which increase mucous production.
