Bronchitis

Bronchitis preventative measures. By observing the following you can reduce the frequency, duration or intensity of bronchial episodes:

1) Keep your surroundings comfortable and consistent. Always use air conditioning and heating at a comfortable level. Avoid going from hot to cold (and vice versa) - this includes exposure to outside air.

2) Buy and use a decent humidifier in your home. Adding moisture to your air is a good preventative measure. Use your humidifier with essential oils - eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil work especially well during flare-ups.

3) Avoid dust  - this includes when cleaning your home. Consider wearing an allergy mask or asthma mask whenever possible.

4) Exercise regularly, especially consider low impact aerobic exercises (walking is quite beneficial). Bronchitis symptoms may diminish with healthier lung function. Exercise expands lung capacity making breathing easier.

5) Take warm or hot showers more frequently than normal, especially during times when you're more vulnerable to bronchial symptoms. Warm showers help clear mucus which results in easier breathing.

6) Bronchial patients are more vulnerable to catching colds or the flu or picking up another infection so stay away from sick people.

A) If bronchitis results in chest muscle pain, use an anti-inflammatory medication such as aspirin or ibuprofen.

B) Gently yet firmly tap (or have someone else do it) the front and back of your thorax. Use 2 fingertips or the side of your hand. This practice will loosen some phlegm in your lungs.

C) Add salt to warm water and gargle as needed. This should reduce mucus in the throat. About 1 teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of water should be sufficient (too much salt may make the taste less appealing yet too little may be ineffective. Experiment).

Dietary changes. The following suggestions may help ease symptoms, length and severity of bronchitis episodes:

A) Drink fresh cabbage juice as much as possible.

B) Pay attention to foods that affect mucus production. Consuming garlic, onions, cayenne pepper or chicken stock help reduce mucus while the following products should be avoided because they create mucus: citrus, dairy goods, bananas and products containing wheat.

C) Acute bronchitis sufferers need to drink plenty of fluids, especially water.

D) Foods known to cause allergic reactions should be avoided such as eggs, milk etc... In addition consider reducing intake of foods that use preservatives, additives or food coloring.

E) Consider eating almonds regularly. Almonds are said to have a positive long-term on certain respiratory conditions such as bronchitis.
