Home Remedies for Bronchitis

Bronchitis refers to the inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the bronchial tubes within
the lungs. Bronchitis may be acute or chronic. In chronic cases, the disease is of long duration
and more serious.

Due to inflammation in the bronchi, large quantities of mucus are secreted and expelled as
phlegm. This phlegm is sticky, semi fluid and may even be purulent. The patient suffers from
fever, experiences some difficulty in breathing, and has a cough. Other symptoms are
hoarseness, pain in the chest and loss of appetite.

An important cause of bronchitis is smoking. Excessive smoking irritates the bronchial tubes and
lowers their resistance, so that they become vulnerable to germs breathed in from the
atmosphere. Other causes are living or working in a stuffy atmosphere, use of drugs to suppress
earlier diseases, and hereditary factors. Changes in weather and environment hasten the onset
of the disease.
