Home Remedy Treatments For Bronchitis

March 6, 2009




bronchitisBronchitis is a heightened swelling of the membranes that make up the bronchi.  This swelling produces an increase of mucus.  Those with bronchitis are prone to coughing up mucus, coughing up blood and having a hard time getting air into the lungs to breathe.  Based on the severity of the illness, bronchitis can either have a diagnosis of acute or chronic. 

Acute bronchitis may only last for several days or weeks which chronic bronchitis can last for months or even years.  This article discusses natural, homeopathic remedies for treating bronchitis.  There are many natural tinctures that you can make from items in your kitchen to treat bronchitis.  Some of the mixtures are taken orally while others are applied to your chest.

Make a paste out of an equal mixture of flour and water and add a dash of mustard powder.  Mix it together and rub it over your chest to wear overnight.  Take some castor oil plant leaves and warm them up on the stove.  Let them cool and place them over your chest.  Keep them on overnight.

Castor oil plant leaves are poisonous so do not consume them.  Warm bay leaves in hot water.  When they cool, apply them to your chest.  Keep your chest covered with a warm towel.  Combine one tablespoon of dry mustard with four tablespoons of flour and warm water.  Spread the paste over a piece of gauze and lay it on your chest.

In a cup of boiled water add ground horseradish root.  Drink it when it cools at least thrice daily.  Add a teaspoon of licorice root tea to hot water.  Let it sit for ten minutes.  Drink thrice daily.  Take one teaspoon of grated lemon rind and add to boiling water.  Let the drink cool and consume it two to three times daily.

Add fresh bay leaves to boiling water.  When the mixture cools, strain it and drink the mix two to three times a day.  Mix ½ teaspoon of ginger with some ground cloves and cinnamon in hot water.  Drink it when it cools.  In boiling water mix ½ teaspoon of savory.  Let it cool and drink.  Mix ½ teaspoon of thyme with a ½ teaspoon of honey with boiling water.  Let the mixture cool and drink.  Mix warm milk with a half teaspoon of turmeric powder and honey.  Drink the mix a few times a day.

Almonds are also believed to help repair respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis.
