Bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the trachea and bronchi by bacterial infection. Does not normally cause major complications, but it is important to treat it so that it does not derive in other more serious lung diseases.
We offer some tips to cure bronchitis as soon as possible following adequate food and using natural remedies at our disposal.
Adequate food
During the bronchitis is essential to monitor the power, because there are foods that cause inflammation and mucus. We should avoid especially:
- Refined sugars
- Bread (we can replace it with dextrinated bread, a bread type biscuits which receives a cooking completes and facilitates digestion, as if he were already predigerido)
- Dairy
On the other hand, take a diet rich in:
- Fruits (grapefruit, lemon, Orange, kiwi)
- Vegetables, purées and soups (especially garlic, onion, leek, cabbage, celery, carrot)
- Whole cereals (brown rice, quinoa and millet...)
It will also be very beneficial to incorporate some medicinal foods to our diet:
- Cayenne: Add a pinch of Cayenne to our hot meals to activate circulation, open the bronchi and help detoxification.
- Propolis and honey: products derived from bees are large antibiotics that will help us to raise the defenses.
- Grapefruitseed extract: this very powerful antiviral being used more and more. We will take from 5 to 7 drops diluted in a glass of water on an empty stomach.
- Vitamin C: can take it either as a supplement or food (potato steamed unpeeled, garlic, citrus...)
Medicinal plants
We will notice a big improvement if we daily prepare a pot of herbal infusion and we are taking it very hot continuously. Podem choose between the following herbs: plantain, Uña de gato, mauve, elder, mint, camomile, drosera.
In addition we can make steam. Put to boil in a pot water with some herbs (eucalyptus, thyme, Rosemary, cajeput, savory) and when the cooker is ready we proper fire, will cover our heads with a towel and will do a few deep breaths directly on top of the preparation. We can go on and off the fire to create steam. We can do it several times a day according to the mucus.
Finally, these same medicinal plants that we have commented for infusions and exhalations can use in the form of essential oils. We can prepare a mixture with 30 CL of a base oil (almond, olive, sesame...) and add 5 drops of each essence. We will apply this oil directly on the torso and neck or you can use it in a diffuser scents in the room where we are.
Remedies with clay
The clay is an ancient remedy. When there were few resources it was easier and more effective to use clean mud to extract toxins and at the same time provide minerals to the body. For bronchitis, we recommend two uses with clay:
- We will make a poultice by mixing the clay with water until you have a creamy but consistent texture. We will add 4 or 5 drops of essential oil of eucalyptus, thyme and oregano. Ready once we will apply it, preferably hot, on the chest and the back alternately. We can repeat every 6 hours.
- In some health food stores sell a special to take clay. It is a purified, clay free of elements that would be toxic to the body. Mix it with water without using metal spoon (we will use one of wood, porcelain, etc.), we will leave it to stand for 10 minutes and take it in the morning.
Thermal equilibrium
When a person suffers from bronchitis there is usually an imbalance of temperatures in your body. We recommend, especially if neck is warm and cold feet, perform any of these practices:
- Rubs in cold areas with some rough material, like a sponge
- Apply cream or ginger oil
- Do foot baths with hot water and a few tablespoons of baking soda, at least for 20 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Emotional issues
The psychosomatic meaning of bronchitis usually have relationship with untreated emotional issues that cause us sadness. It will be important to keep that in mind especially if we tend to have repetitive bronchitis. In this case we recommend to go to a therapist or to resort to homeopathy, flower essences, or other techniques of emotional support. Also, we must not forget that in all repetitive or chronic disease, it is essential to avoid bad habits (tobacco, alcohol, poor diet, etc.)
