Bronchitis natural cures Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes. These bronchial tubes are the two large tubes that branch off the windpipe. Bronchitis is either caused by bacteria or by a virus.
The lining of the bronchial tubes swells and gets congested with mucus. Heavy coughing indicates that the child is trying to clear the congested mucus from his bronchial passages.
Consult your doctor to determine whether it is caused by bacteria or a virus.
Apart from that, make sure the child’s intake of fluid increases. Intake of water would be the best, but any other fluid will also work. Fluids help to thin the mucus, making it easier to cough it up. At least 32 ounces of liquid should be taken every day. One teaspoonful of turmeric powder in a glass of warm milk, taken on an empty stomach, early in the morning, works wonders. Make a mixture of equal amounts of black pepper, long pepper and dried ginger. Take this mixture thrice a day. To dissolve and remove the trapped phlegm, add a teaspoon of honey and ginger juice to 150 ml of hot water. Apart from this, gently rubbing eucalyptus oil on the chest also helps. Inhaling medicated steam, made up of hot water and 2-3 drops of lavender/ Eucalyptus/Thyme or Tea tree essential oil, will also help to dissolve the phlegm.
