[size=4][b]Cold Bronchitis - Natural Remedies Explored - Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Had a very bad bout of bronchitis years ago, which led to a chronic asthma condition. I lost 2 stone in weight over a 2 month period and I had little idea of how to deal with the debilitating illness...I was frequently struggling to be able to breathe. It's not something I would like to go through again, but it took me the best part of two years to get to grips with the condition.

[list][*]The first step is to remove wheat and milk products from the diet (before you panic, this is only a temporary measure).[*]Why you ask?[*]Because when you have a cold or bronchitis the body produces more mucus and you do not want to add to this by eating mucus producing foods.[*]I know some of you will be sceptical, but what have you got to lose...just try it and see.[*]Bronchitis are basically interesting parts of our day-to-day life.[*]It is only that sometimes, we are not aware of this fact![/list]

Also try adding garlic, onions, ginger, chillies, cloves and liquorice (not the sweets, but do not take if you have high blood pressure) to your diet, as they all act as decongestants. The following herbs are also very useful: astragalus, coltsfoot, echinacea, elderberry, elecampane, ephedra, eucalyptus, fenugreek, gingko, goldenseal, lobelia, mullein oil and reishi. Cold Bronchitis came into being some time back. However, would you believe that there are some people who still don't know what a Cold Bronchitis is?

[list][*]As a child I often had winter colds that developed into bronchitis, with the inevitable regular visit to the doctor.[*]Every time antibiotics were prescribed, why I do not know, but I believe this was what led to me developing asthma later in life.[*]Colds are caused by viruses and are not killed by antibiotics, which kill bacteria, all bacteria even the necessary one's that help with digestion.[*]In addition to weakening the digestive system the bodies immune system is also compromised as it has lost a vital ally in fighting yeast and fungi.[*]These are always present in the body but the good gut bacteria keep them in check.[*]Mainstream medicine now recognises the effect Candida can have on a compromised immune system, although you might still counter some scepticism.[*]Alternative medicine has known about it for a long time.[*]If you do have to use antibiotics then it is sensible to repopulate your gut with good bacteria.[*]There are now plenty of probiotic products available, many advertised on the TV.[/list]

Please feel free to let me have any tips of your own. I have a keen interest in using natural remedies and have had years of experience in using herbs and homeopathy. Developing a basis for this composition on Cold Bronchitis was a lengthy task. It took lots of patience and hard work to develop.

[list][*]Through experience and from reading many health books I now know why my colds developed into bronchitis.[*]I know it's a damn nuisance but we cannot avoid colds.[*]However, we can make life much easier for ourselves.[/list]

[i]What is n-acetyl cysteine (NAC)?Why is n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) good for emphysema disease?How much n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) should you take for emphysema disease? [/i]

[list][*]Warning: please consult your doctor before taking any supplements.[*]If you are a peptic ulcer sufferer, do not take n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplements.[/list]

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is good at reducing mucus production in the respiratory track and its antioxidant properties can help to protect against lung tissue damage associated emphysema disease. It would be hopeless trying to get people who are not interested in knowing more about Bronchitis to read articles pertaining to it. Only people interested in Bronchitis will enjoy this article.

[size=large][b]What is N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)?[/b][/size][hr]The amino acid n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) helps to increase the levels of the powerful antioxidant glutathione in the respiratory track. A lot of imagination is required in writing. People may think that writing on Emphysema Bronchitis is very easy; on the contrary, knowledge and imagination has to be merged to create an interesting composition. Big Grin.

[list][*]How Much N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) Should You Take For Emphysema Disease?[*]To help with the symptoms associated with emphysema disease, you can take up to 500mg of n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplements three times a day.[/list]

Why Is N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) Good For Emphysema Disease? N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is good for emphysema disease. It is not only the anti-mucus properties of n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) which can help to alleviate the symptoms associated with emphysema disease, but n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) can also act as an antioxidant and protect against lung tissue damage. Reading is a habit that has to be cultivated from a small age. Only if one has the habit of reading can one acquire more knowledge on things like Emphysema Bronchitis.

[list][*]N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is extremely good at reducing mucus production associated with respiratory conditions such as emphysema and bronchitis.[*]This article has been written with the intention of showing some illumination to the meaning of Bronchitis.[*]This is so that those who don't know much about Bronchitis can learn more about it. :o[/list]

[size=large][b]So, to Sum Up..[/b][/size][hr]N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid which can help to increase the levels of the powerful antioxidant glutathione in the respiratory track. The length of an article is rather immaterial about its response from people. People are more interested in the matter about Bronchitis, and not length.

[list][*]Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a slow progressing destruction of airways caused by gradual loss of lung function.[*]It's a combination of various lung diseases.[*]In COPD, two lung diseases, namely chronic bronchitis and emphysema are the main diseases.[*]Other diseases like asthmatic bronchitis and bullous disease are also present.[*]This disease is common among the older women in America.[*]On a whole, about 11% of the American population suffers from COPD.[*]According to researches, it kills 85,000 people in the US every year and it is the fourth leading cause of death.[*]Prevention is the best medicine for COPD.[*]There is no cure.[*]All the medications for COPD are directed towards reducing the intensity of the disease.[*]So, it is wiser for all of us to take steps to prevent this disease. [/list]

Other causes that lead to COPD are industrial pollution, occupational dusts, continuous contact with hazardous chemicals, outdoors air pollution, etc. In some cases, parents pass on the genes to their children. In some rare cases, COPD is found in people suffering from a gene-related disorder called alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency. Alpha 1 antitrypsin is a protein that inactivates the destructive proteins in the blood. The absence or the low level of alpha 1 antitrypsin in these people leads to the destruction of lungs and ultimately to COPD. Dwelving into the interiors of Asthmatic Bronchitis has led us to all this information here on Asthmatic Bronchitis. Asthmatic Bronchitis do indeed have a lot to tell!Dwelving into the interiors of Asthmatic Bronchitis has led us to all this information here on Asthmatic Bronchitis. Asthmatic Bronchitis do indeed have a lot to tell!

[size=large][b]Smoking is the Primary Cause of COPD[/b][/size][hr]Passive smoking can also lead to COPD. The effects of smoking on the lungs can be severe and permanent. Smoking causes irreversible damage to the lung tissues and causes inflammation of the lungs. This inflammation stops only when the smoking is stopped. The cigarette manufacturing companies add some chemicals to cigarettes for various reasons that block the production of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), which maintain the elastic fibers of the alveoli. This in turn destroys the walls of the lungs, which makes the process of breathing very difficult.

[list][*]As the disease intensifies, the patients suffering from COPD will find it difficult to breathe.[*]Their difficulty may vary according to the changing weather.[*]They sometimes require hospitalization.[*]You're suffering from bronchitis, the bad news is that there's no official cure.[*]You'll just have to wait for it to go away on its own.[*]At the same time, that doesn't mean you have to suffer with full-blown symptoms; there are bronchitis remedies out there.[/list]

You need some bronchitis remedies, here's a list to get you started: 1. In a glass of milk, add half a teaspoon of turmeric. Drink this two to three times a day on an empty stomach. Using our imagination has helped us create a wonderful article on Bronchitis. Being imaginative is indeed very important when writing about Bronchitis!

[size=large][b]A Pan, Heat Up Some Castor Oil Plant Leaves[/b][/size][hr]After they cool, spread them on your chest (or on whoever else has bronchitis). But remember, it's poisonous, so don't eat it! Try to keep the leaves somewhere overnight. Even the beginner will get to learn more about Bronchitis Contagious after reading this article. It is written in easy language so that everyone will be able to understand it. Big Grin.

Lot of these bronchitis remedies might seem a little unorthodox, but these natural products often have excellent expectorant, mucous-reducing, anti-viral agents. We have not included any imaginary or false information on Bronchitis Contagious here. Everything here is true and up to the mark!

Some other bronchitis remedies include veggies. Take some fresh spinach leaves, eight ounces of water, and mix a teaspoon of honey and a wee bit of ammonium chloride. This is a good bronchitis remedy. Suppressing our knowledge on Treating Bronchitis is not our intention here. In fact, we mean to let everyone know more about Treating Bronchitis after reading this!

[list][*]Mix equal amounts of water, flour, and mustard powder together.[*]Spread this over the chest of whoever is suffering from bronchitis.[*]A word of warning: Test this on a small area of the skin first, since a lot of people are sensitive to mustard.[/list]

Make a tea from 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, cloves, and ginger powder. Or you could mix them all up with honey and eat that. This mixture works as an anti inflammatory that cuts down on mucous production. Ginger can also help boost the immune system. This is a dependable source of information on Bronchitis Remedies. All that has to be done to verify its authenticity is to read it!

[size=large][b]Every Day, Drink Some Fresh Cabbage Juice[/b][/size][hr]8. Add a cup of cut or ground horseradish roots to a cup of boiling water. Let the roots seep in the water for five minutes, then drink up. You'll do this daily, three times a day, for a week. We have avoided adding flimsy points on Bronchitis Remedies, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Bronchitis medicines.

[size=large][b]Onion Juice[/b][/size][hr]Yes, onion juice, one teaspoon each morning to be exact for the next four months. It might be hard to swallow, but onions can help you heal. We have included some fresh and interesting information on Symptoms Bronchitis. In this way, you are updated on the developments of Symptoms Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Chronic bronchitis is a condition involving the inflammation of the main airways (bronchial tubes) in the lungs that continues for a long period or keeps recurring. When the airways are irritated, thick mucus (also called sputum) forms in them. The mucus plugs up the airways and makes it hard to get air into the lungs, leading to shortness of breath and persistent cough and phlegm.

Prescribed oxygen therapy, one must use it day and night to get the most advantage. Oxygen can help breathe better, easier and therefore live longer. Severe Bronchitis proved to be the foundation for the writing of this page. We have used all facts and definitions of Severe Bronchitis to produce worthwhile reading material for you.

Many patients with chronic bronchitis are susceptible to recurring bacterial infections, so treatment becomes all the more tough. Excessive mucus production in the lungs provides the perfect environment for infection to thrive, which also causes inflammation and swelling of the bronchial tubes and a reduction in the amount of airflow in and out of the lungs.

Treatment: There is no complete cure for chronic bronchitis. The main aim of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent complications. You may be filled with astonishment with the amount of information we have compile here on Bronchitis Antibiotics. that was our intention, to astonish you.

Exposed for a long time to other substances that irritate the lungs, such as air pollution, chemical fumes, dust and other noxious substances, one can get chronic bronchitis. Our objective of this article on Severe Bronchitis was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Severe Bronchitis, and compare it with what we have printed here.

It is important to quit smoking, and thereby prevent chronic bronchitis from getting worse. Any other respiratory irritants should also be avoided. * Inhaled medications (bronchodilators) that widen the airways and decrease inflammation help reduce symptoms such as wheezing. * Antibiotics are also prescribed for infections as required. * Corticosteroids are used during flare-ups of wheezing or by people with severe bronchitis who do not respond to other treatments. * Physical exercise programmes, breathing exercises are part of the overall treatment plan. * Oxygen supplementation may be advised in severe cases. * In very extreme cases, lung reduction surgery to remove damaged area of lung or a lung transplant may be recommended. Big Grin.

[size=large][b]What Causes Chronic Bronchitis?[/b][/size][hr]Cigarette smoking is the main cause of chronic bronchitis . When tobacco smoke is inhaled into the lungs, it irritates the airways, thereby leading to excessive production of mucus. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Bronchitis Lungs projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you.

Do antibiotics help in treating chronic bronchitis? In general, antibiotics don't help much in chronic bronchitis. Antibiotics are usually prescribed if one gets a lung infection along with chronic bronchitis. This is because, if one has a lung infection, he may cough up more mucus thereby aggravating the situation. One may also get down with fever and shortness of breath. Whenever one reads any reading matter likePersistent Cough, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that its reading is complete.

[size=large][b]What is Oxygen Therapy?[/b][/size][hr]Because of the damage to lungs due to chronic bronchitis, the lungs may not be able to get enough oxygen into the body. Therefore, a doctor may prescribe oxygen supplementation if the chronic bronchitis is severe and medicine doesn't help. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Bronchitis Severe. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Bronchitis Severe.

Always seek professional medical advice about any treatment or change in treatment plans. Preventive measures to avoid flare-ups: * Quit smoking * Healthy diet * Avoid substances that cause flare ups * Avoid dust * Physiotherapy, regular exercises as shown by a practitioner to strengthen lung muscles. * Chronic bronchitis increases the risk of lung infections, so be sure to get a flu shot every year. Also, get a pneumococcal vaccination to protect against pneumonia. Using the intuition I had on Severe Bronchitis, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Severe Bronchitis has been included here.

[size=large][b]Few Other Suggestions:[/b][/size][hr]* Exercising regularly so as to strengthen the muscles that help breathe. Start by exercising slowly and for just a little while at a time. Then slowly increase the time you exercise each day and also how fast you exercise. * An exercise regime called pulmonary rehabilitation may also help improve breathing. Pulmonary rehabilitation is usually given by a respiratory therapist. * A breathing method called "pursed-lip breathing" also helps. To do this, take a deep breath and then breathe out slowly through the mouth while holding the lips as if going to kiss someone. Pursed-lip breathing slows down the fast breathing and helps one feel better. * Drink a minimum of eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. This will help to keep the mucus thin, making it easier to cough up. Avoid sugar and dairy products because they tend to weaken the immune system and stimulate excessive mucus production. * Avoid taking cough suppressants, as it may cause mucus buildup and can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia. * Avoid taking antihistamines or decongestants as these medications can worsen the situation by drying the airways and causing the mucus to thicken. * Stay away from chemicals, dust, paints, insecticides and other respiratory irritants as these worsen the condition.

[i]Medical terms, a person is considered to have chronic bronchitis if cough and sputum are present (without any other disease that could account for these symptoms) on an average of 3 months for at least 2 successive years or for 6 months during a year.[/i]
