Fight Bronchitis With Everyday Home Remedies, Before It Gets You Down
Inflammation of the bronchi is also known as bronchitis, and it is uncomfortable and annoying. As the condition worsens, mucus develops. Inflammation of the bronchi is the main cause of bronchitis.
There are at least a few things that can help combat this horrible disease:
Drink much liquid.
It is highly recommended that you drink plenty of water and stay away from liquids like coffee etc. The fresh fruit juice is great. Drinking plenty of fluids will help thin the mucus, but keep in mind that water is the best fluid.
It’s often best to avoid cold drinks, as they can block airflow.
Look at home for your everyday product remedies.
Ginger is said to be an effective remedy for respiratory problems such as bronchitis and respiratory problems. Ginger can be taken in many different ways including tea and adding it to juices etc. Drinking the tea several times a day may offer a little more relief. Try the apple, lemon and ginger juice – wow, it will blow your mind.
Onions! yes, onions are also a great help for bronchitis. Making onion juice is most effective if taken first thing in the morning. They are known to soften phlegm and possibly prevent phlegm buildup.
Almonds are also great. adding the 7 ‘crushed’ almonds to your drink right before bed is best.
‘Wheat grass’, spinach or other vegetables are also fantastic. Juicing these vegetables with carrots and celery is the most appetizing.
Asparagus! It is believed to be excellent for fighting bronchitis and asthma. Fresh asparagus, beets, celery, and carrots also make a great juicing combination. You can add other vegetables to your liking.
Last but not least is vitamin C. Antioxidants are believed to help the lungs avoid damage and possible degradation.
Give up smoking.
Yes, that’s right, you should STOP smoking. It is a well known fact that smoking deteriorates the lungs. This leads to damaged blood vessels, making it difficult for oxygen to be absorbed. Smoking is bad. Secondhand smoke (inhaling other people’s smoke) is just as bad as smoking. So stay away from smoke in general.
Humidify the air and your environment.
It is better to have a vaporizer in your bedroom when you sleep at night if you feel a bronchial attack or a restricted airway. Moisture helps to relax and ease the tense membranes of the bronchial tubes and is good for reducing coughing.
Exercise regularly, do you have to be kidding? Exercise is good for people with breathing difficulties (in a moderate environment, of course).
Swimming and other forms of light, regular exercise are good for people with bronchitis and asthma. Breathe fresh air. Get outside if possible. Morning exercise is probably the best as it ‘sets a great rhythm’ in your body for the rest of the day. Make sure that your posture and breathing are also done correctly when exercising.
Practice these minimal steps to help relieve some of your bronchial symptoms. Remember that if you are experiencing pain or things you are unsure about, it is best to seek professional medical help right away, BUT, don’t be afraid to try something different or new.
