Posted by admin | Good Health | Sunday 20 December 2009 6:06 am

Fight Bronchitis at home!Bronchitis is mainly caused by the inflammation of bronchi in the lungs. Though it is not that serious an illness it can become very irritable if it continues for a longer period. What made me write about is the way I saw my friends suffering who stayed dizzy all the time because of it.  Severe coughing followed by headache can make it worse as pain in the chest increases and almost becomes unbearable at times. By stating some home remedies here, I do not mean that Bronchitis can be healed only with these without taking any medicines. These are just simple measures which can highly reduce the irritability caused by Bronchitis if employed regularly.  However, in extreme condition, seeking medical help is a must. Written below are some simple recipes for fighting this illness. Read on!

Application of Castor leaves: Castor leaves as well as oil works wonders for people suffering from lung infections. Though some people recommend using castor oil, application of castor leaves on the chest after warming them a bit on the pan can prove to be highly beneficial for bronchitis patients. After placing them on the chest, the vapors released due to their heating should be made to inhale. Make sure the leaves are cool enough to be placed on skin.

Thyme leaves: Drinking herbal tea made up of dried Thyme leaves is another effective remedy for bronchitis patients. Just boil these tea leaves in one cup of water for some time and make the patient sip the solution thrice everyday. Adding honey to the solution will make it more effective.

Herb Powder: Amalgamation of herb powder consists of finely grated ginger, black pepper and cloves. Take each of them in similar quantities (half a tea spoon); add honey to it and your medicine is ready. This herb powder is a highly effective anti-inflammatory home recipe and works extremely well for the irritated throat. The person should keep taking it in small quantities at regular intervals. This will help draw the phlegm out of the chest. It is also effective in treating cold and cough.

Posted by admin | Good Health | Friday 18 December 2009 6:03 am

Home remedies for Bronchitis!Bronchitis, inflammation of bronchi in the lungs can become very troublesome if it persists for a long period of time. I’ve seen some of my friends who stay dizzy almost at all hours of the day because bronchitis never leaves them in a better state. If coughing increases, nothing seems worse as pain in the chest can become stronger at times. Though it is a medical condition which needs absolute medical attention but if some precautions can be taken at home as well, its intensity can be highly reduced. Listed here are some such remedies which can prove to be highly beneficial for people suffering from Bronchitis.

Castor Oil: Castor oil works wonders for bronchitis patients. One can either use castor leaves if available or castor oil can also be used. Just warm a few castor leaves on a pan and after they become cool enough, place them on the patient’s chest. Make the person breathe-in the vapors that the leaves release because of heating. In case of castor oil, apply some oil on the chest and inhale the vapors in the same manner. This can be highly relieving for any patient suffering from any kind of lung infection.

Thyme: Thyme is popular for the tea made by drying its leaves. Dip these tea leaves in one cup of boiling water for ten minutes and make the patient drink them at least three times a day. If possible add some honey to it. It will work as a wonder therapy for Bronchitis patients.

Herb Powder: Herb powder is nothing but a mixture of finely chopped ginger, black pepper and cloves. These substances are full of anti-inflammatory properties and hence work the best towards giving instant relief to the irritated throat. Just add half a teaspoon of each and prepare a mixture with the addition of honey and make the patient ingest it in small quantities at intervals. This will help taking the phlegm out of the chest within a day or two. It is also highly beneficial in healing severe cold and cough.

The substances to be used in each of these remedies are easily available and hence can be put to use immediately. However, if a person is particularly allergic to any of these, make sure you don’t use that as it can further aggravate his condition.
