Inflammation of the bronchi is also known as bronchitis, and it is uncomfortable and bothersome. 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 fight this horrible disease:
Drink much liquid.
It is strongly recommended that you drink plenty of water and stay away from liquids like coffee etc. Fresh fruit juice is great. Drinking plenty of fluids will help thin 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 remedies from everyday products.
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 added 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 more effective if you drink it first thing in the morning. They are known to soften phlegm and possibly prevent phlegm buildup.
Almonds are great too. adding the 7 ‘crushed’ almonds to your drink just before bed is best.
‘Wheatgrass’, spinach or other vegetables are also fantastic. Juicing these vegetables with carrot and celery is the most appetizing.
Asparagus! It is believed to be excellent for fighting bronchitis and asthma. Fresh asparagus, beets, celery, and carrots are also a great juicing combination. You can add other vegetables to your liking.
Last but not least is vitamin C. Antioxidants are thought to help the lungs prevent damage and potential degradation.
Give up smoking.
Yes, that’s right, you should STOP smoking. It is a well known fact that smoking damages 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 surroundings.
It is best to have a vaporizer in your bedroom when you sleep at night if you feel a bronchial attack or restricted airway. The humidity helps to relax and relieve the tense membranes of the bronchial tubes and is good for reducing coughs.
Exercise regularly, do you have to be kidding me? Exercise is good for people with breathing difficulties (in a moderate environment, of course).
Swimming and other forms of regular, light exercise are good for people with bronchitis and asthma. Breathe fresh air. Go outside if possible. Morning exercise is probably 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, then it is best to seek professional healthcare help right away, BUT, don’t be afraid to try something different or new.
