Answer 1

Hi Kefer

Here are ideas to remedy this.

Cause:
This is a condition from improper diet and results in bowel problems. Relieving the effects of the condition will not heal it. Bronchitis usually develops from a cold which settles in the lungs and develops into a chronic condition if not healed, eventually going into consumption or tuberculosis.

Herbal Aids
1. Comfrey and Aalmond are Specifics for Bronchitis. Since constipation is one of the chief causes of the problem, the bowels must be cleared and kept open with the lower bowel tonic [Fen LB] or herbal laxatives. If one has shortness of breath and needs the throat cleared of mucus, he can use an emetic. Cayenne is very effective for cutting the phlegm, as are fruit juices such as grapefruit, lemon, orange, or pineapple. Chickweed, comfrey, marshmallow or mullein are the greatest cleansers to get the mucus out of the body. One can relax the throat, stomach, and bronchi rapidly with a very small amount of lobelia. Other useful aids for relief are a hot vapor or steam bath followed by a cold shower or sponging; also hot fomentation of pleurisy root or mullein (with lobelia in it) on the chest and spine. If you want to speed up any fomentation, add cayenne as a counterirritant.

2. Bronchitis, Bronchial and Spasmodic Coughs, Whooping Cough: Drink the infusion of red clover freely.

3. Garlic: For chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract (inflamed tonsils, salivary glands, neighboring lymph glands), pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, etc.:Keep garlic in the mouth constantly during wakeful hours, renewing morning and evening after the cloves have absorbed the poisons; or, use another appropriate garlic preparation.

4. Garlic Syrup: for asthma, whooping cough, cough, pneumonia, smallpox, bronchitis, dyspnea, etc.: Where there is spasm, give 1 teaspoonful of the syrup with or without water every 15 minutes until the spasm is controlled, then give 1 teaspoonful every 2-3 hours for the rest of the day; thereafter give 1 teaspoonful of the syrup 3-4 times daily. Use the foot poultice; also, mix the freshly expressed juice with leaf lard and rub on the chest, throat, and between the shoulder blades.

5. Yarrow: Enuresis, bronchitis (and other respiratory affections): Drink the yarrow decoction cool.

6. Pleurisy Root: for pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, inflammatory rheumatism: Give hot infusion while the patient is closely-covered in bed; repeat the dosage every 30 minutes until free perspiration is produced; apply hot cloths externally, wrung out in the infusion.

7. Thyme: May be taken internally or used externally with amazing and beneficial results. Internally: 1 teaspoonful in 1 cupful of water, sweetened with 1 tablespoonful of honey 3-4 times daily; good for infectious bronchitis.

Take control and get well.

Cheers

Answer 3

First you need an antibiotic, or it can turn into pneumonia. But to relieve symptoms, I always go in the bathroom, and turn the shower on as hot as it will go. I don't get under the water, just sit on the toilet or a stool, but breathe in the steam. They make tablets now, that have medication in them that you drop in the tub, and it releases medicine in the steam. Another is try take guaifenesin, it's a drug that thins out the mucus so you can cough it out, even though your chest probably hurts from so much coughing to begin with. I would suggest ibuprofen for the pain.

Answer 4

Try Chicken Soup.
It works!

Answer 5

Steam inhalation. It loosens phlegm and soothes the bronchi.
