Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation, swelling or infection of the bronchial tubes between the nose and the lungs. Your goal when you have bronchitis: Thin the phlegm in your chest and get it moving, so you can cough it up and out. Symptoms of bronchitis include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue, heavy and multicolored mucus production (clear, white, yellow, green), and persistent cough.

Homeopathy, the most efficient solution to conquering bronchitis, is very successful in managing all the symptoms of bronchitis, and as well plays a significant role in preventing further complications and improves the general health of the person. Homeopathic approach concentrates on the body’s natural healing ability for a genuine cure of the condition.

Probiotics

Probiotics are a good option for treating bronchitis. Probiotics are unique formulation of “good” bacteria. These bacteria help prevent infections by working in the digestive tract and supporting your immune system. You can take probiotics in capsule form or find them in many foods, such as yogurt.

Gargle with Warm Saltwater

Gargling with saltwater may provide a double dose of relief by soothing the inflammation in the throat and by cutting through some of the mucus that may be coating and irritating the sensitive throat membranes. It only takes one teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water; too much salt causes burning in the throat, and too little is ineffective. Gargle as often as needed, but be sure to spit the salty water out after gargling.

Bryonia

Bryonia treats chronic bronchitis with possible complication of either bronchopneumonia or pleurisy. The cough is accompanied by a sore throat with difficulty swallowing. The chest feels as if it is going to burst with every movement (breathing). There is a great desire to be left alone and not disturbed.

Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus oil is another natural treatment for bronchitis that can be used to open up inflamed airways. Though eucalyptus oil isn’t mean to be taken internally, you can put 5-10 drops in a hot bath and breathe in the steam to relieve chest congestion. Alternatively, you can mix eucalyptus oil with olive, neem or coconut oil and rub it on your chest and throat for quick relief. Eucalyptus contains cineole, a powerful antiseptic that makes it a good remedy to have around during cold and flu season.

Garlic is also a viable option for treating bronchitis. Garlic contains a compound known as allicin, which helps reduce inflammation and fight infection. The herb also contains nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B as well as copper, iron, calcium, and selenium. Take 4 grams of minced garlic by mouth a day.
