Medicine Bronchitis - Complementary and Alternative Treatments for Emphysema

Nutrition and Supplementation Before breakfast, drink a mixture of one teaspoonful of pure, cold-pressed olive oil and apple juice to provide essential fatty acids and help eliminate toxic waste.

Herbal Therapy

To ease coughing and other discomforts of emphysema, choose one of the following herbal remedies: For excess mucus, try coltsfoot, thyme, or mullein tea before each meal. To make any of the teas, steep 1 to 2 teaspoons of the dried herb in 1 cup boiling water for 10 minutes; strain. If you're bothered by constant coughing, try either of two tea blends: equal amounts of coltsfoot, mullein, and licorice; or equal amounts of marshmallow, mallow, colts foot, mullein, violet, and red poppy flowers. To make either of the teas, steep 1 to 2 teaspoons of the blend in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes.

Yoga and Meditation

Any yoga pose that expands the lungs and relaxes the chest can help alleviate the discomforts of emphysema. Performing a daily routine of at least four poses-Fish, Camel, Bow, and Warrior-can be particularly beneficial. It was with keen interest that we got about to writing on Bronchitis. Hope you read and appreciate it with equal interest.

Hydrotherapy Steam inhalations drew university effective for loosening and expelling mucus. Add a few drops of a favorite essential oil, if you wish. Under professional supervision, you also might try constitutional therapy or hot compress applications. For directions on these therapies, see "Hydrotherapy" in the "Introduction to Complementary Therapies" section. Aiming high is our motto when writing about any topic. In this way, we tend to add whatever matter there is about Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema, rather than drop any topic. :idea:

The RESPIRATORY SYSTEM DAMAGE

The long-term effects of air pollution include serious diseases like cancer. The highly polluted city air slowly metamorphoses our healthy and pink colored lung tissues into darkened particles of smog, dust, and other pollutants, making the lungs more vulnerable to infection. The highly sensitive respiratory system can be damaged in a number of ways.

ARDS: Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) occurs when the lungs get severely injured.
Many automobile accidents, poisonous gases, or lung inflammation can cause such a dysfunction.
ARDS patients generally have to battle for life with 50 per cent survival rate.
Bronchitis is the substance of this composition.
Without Bronchitis, there would not have been much to write and think about over here!

Common cold, running nose & stuffy nose: Viruses cause colds by targeting the pharynx and the nasal passages. First, the viruses infiltrate the body through the respiratory system. Then, they target the cells in the nasal passage membranes. But before they can destroy the cells, the body's immune system fights back. The immune system increases the flow of blood to the area. Such reinforcement of white blood cells leads to swelling of the membranes. This causes the stuffy nose. Increase in mucous secretions to neutralize the viral attack leads to the runny nose. Mentionably, the infection can affect the sinuses -- membrane-lined cavities located within the head, besides the middle ear and the lower respiratory tract. A substantial amount of the words here are all inter-connected to and causes bronchitis. Understand them to get an overall understanding on Bronchitis.

Bronchitis

Pneumonia: this Infection of the Alveoli is Caused by Viruses or Bacteria

Pneumonia is a potentially serious state of the lungs. In pneumonia the alveoli gets inflamed after fluid builds up. This gathering of fluid and the consequent inflammation impedes the flow of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the alveoli and capillaries.

Occupational risks: Many professionals are daily exposed to impurities released by their activities.
These workers run a high risk of suffering from respiratory diseases.
Mention may be made of people picking cotton, those working in work in farms or shipyards, mechanics installing brake insulation or lining.
Other people who suffer from such risks are miners, construction workers, quarry workers, stone cutters, and sandblasters among others.
In addition to what we had mentioned in the previous paragraph, much more has to be said about Bronchitis.
If space permits, we will state everything about it.

Nilutpal Gogoi is a writer and a freelance journalist having more than 18 years of service in several audio-visual and print media reputed organizations in North East India. He has published more than 1000 articles and a popular adventure book for children. This is a systematic presentation on the uses and history of Bronchitis. Use it to understand sorting out bronchitis symptoms it's functioning.

However, prior to taking recourse to any of them, one should consult experts of those systems.
Obviously some of the obnoxious habits like smoking and taking of alcohol must be given up to get the optimum results.
This holds true for any treatment.
Bronchitis: Bronchitis refers to membrane inflammation.
The membranes lining the bronchioles or the bronchi get inflamed.
Bronchitis occurs due to bacterial or viral infection.
Bronchitis can also happen from irritating chemicals.

Bronchitis Prevention - Chronic Bronchitis Prevention - Protect Yourself

Chronic bronchitis is a pain in the side of nearly 8 million people in America alone. 'Chronic bronchitis is the inflammation or swelling of breathing passageways and an over-production of mucus that result in expectoration of phlegm. 'There are several different steps you can take to prevent the contraction of chronic bronchitis as well as acute bronchitis.'It is important that you remain in good health, exercise often and eat healthy. 'The best way to stay disease-free is to remain as healthy as possible and help your body fight infections, diseases and viruses. :idea:

Avoid Bacteria-Filled Situations

It is best to avoid public bathrooms altogether, but if it is necessary to use one, make sure to wash your hands before you leave. 'Also be sure to use a hand towel when exiting to avoid touching the door handle. 'Germs and bacteria thrive on door knobs and handles and are easily transferred to your hands.

Stop Smoking, and Avoid Secondhand Smoke

Smoking is the number one cause of chronic and acute bronchitis (not to mention lung cancer). 'If you currently smoke, your best bet is to consult your physician for different methods of breaking the habit. 'There are numerous over the counter remedies including gum, lozenges and patches that may aid you in quitting smoking. 'If none of these options have helped you quit, there are several prescription drugs that help with this. 'Avoid secondhand smoke as well. 'If you live with individuals who smoke, ask them to step outside for their cigarettes if they could. It is only because that we are rather fluent on the subject of Bronchitis that we have ventured on writing something so influential on Bronchitis like this!

Wash and Sanitize Your Hands Often

Diseases and bacteria most commonly enter your body through your mouth via your hands. 'Bacteria is most likely to enter your body through finger foods, but if you bite your nails, or often have your hands come into contact with your mouth you may be at a higher risk. 'Make sure to wash your hands after any bathroom visits, before meals, and after touching door handles. 'Hand sanitizer is available at nearly any grocery store, and is very effective at killing germs and bacteria. 'Sanitizers are also very convenient. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Bronchitis Prevention worth reading!

Wear a Mask Around Irritants

Wearing a mask around irritants such as dust is a great way to reduce added stress on your lungs. 'It is a great idea to wear a mask whenever practical, and you should wear a mask whenever you are dealing with dangerous chemicals, or any time you will be working in an area where large amounts of dust may be in the air. 'Avoiding air pollution and irritants reduces your risk for contracting both acute and chronic bronchitis. When a child shows a flicker of understanding when talking about Bronchitis Prevention, we feel that the objective of the meaning of Bronchitis Prevention being spread, being achieved. :roll:

Consult Your Doctor about Pneumonia Shots

Although a pneumonia shot should be considered anyway, especially if you are over 65, it is a great step towards preventing chronic bronchitis as well. 'Certain pneumonia shots are also recommended for children under the age of 2, and from children from 2 to 5 who are at a higher risk for pneumonia. 'Side effects of the shot are generally minor and include a mild soreness or swelling at the injection site.

Antibiotic overuse (especially for the common cold) has led to antibiotic resistance. Natural antibiotics and anti viral herbs that may boost immune system are discussed, plus the types of cold and flu, and cough and cold in a weak immune system.

Fever is thought to be the 'heat of battle' between pathogenic and righteous qi. In OM, you have a fever if you feel hot, even if your thermometer shows a normal body temperature. Chills are a sign that the pathogen is winning, while fever is a sign that your body is winning. As the information we produce in our writing on Chronic Bronchitis may be utilized by the reader for informative purposes, it is very important that the information we provide be true. We have indeed maintained this.

Sweating (or 'exterior-releasing') is a major therapy in OM. The type of invasion may be identified by whether or not the patient is sweating, and whether or not that sweating is leading to improvement in your health Time and tide waits for no man. So once we got an idea for writing on Bronchitis, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately! :idea:

Wind-Heat * Symptoms: Feeling of heat, fever more than chills, sore throat or cough, body aches, red eyes, irritability * Herb Formulas: More sore throat - Honeysuckle & Forsythia Formula; More cough - Mulberry & Chrysanthemum Formula * Kitchen Medicine: Mint or chysanthemum tea (cooling)

Tiredness, Qi deficiency, & Weakness The fight may take so much of your energy that you can do nothing but lay in bed.
You may also lose your appetite, which is a sign of qi deficiency in OM.
Some people are more constitutionally weaker from birth, especially those with childhood asthma and allergies.
These are often metal or water type people.
They need to be especially vigilant in prevention.
Isn't it amazing how much information can be transferred through a single page?
So much stands to gain, and to lose about Bronchitis through a single page.

Chinese herbs have successfully treated and caused remission of viral hepatitis and AIDS. In clinical research studies on human beings, at least 15 herbs have been shown to stimulate the immune system and destroy viruses and bacteria (see next table). Chinese herbs appear to have an effect against bacteria and viruses directly, and they stimulate and strengthen the immune system (wei qi) in doing its job of ridding the body of pathogens. It is rather inviting to go on writing on Chronic Bronchitis. however as there is a limitation to the number of words to be written, we have confined ourselves to this. However, do enjoy yourself reading it.

Vulnerability occurs particularly when you are tired, or from excessive environmental influences like cold, heat, dryness, and dampness- each of these is associated with a season when that pathogen is more prevalent Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Bronchitis. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

Types of Colds and Flu in Oriental Medicine Wind-Cold * Symptoms: Feeling of cold, chills more than fever, cough, congestion, fatigue * Herb Formulas: if no sweating - Ephedra Formula; if more body aches - Kudzu Tincture * Kitchen Medicine: Fresh ginger or garlic tea (warming) Writing is something that has to be done when one is in the mood to write. So when we got in the mood to write about Chronic Bronchitis, nothing could stop us from writing!

Most people don't realize that western biomedical understanding didn't include the immune system until very recently. The first vaccine was developed in the late 1800's, and most of the immune system was not understood until the 1960's. Oriental Medicine has been diagnosing and treating immune system diseases with herbs since as early as 150 A.D. when the first systematic book on externally contracted illnesses, the "Cold Damage Classic" was written. Ignorance is bliss, is it? Isn't it better to learn more than not to know about something like Bronchitis. So we have produced this article so that you can learn more about it!

These OM disease theories are not without controversy; some biomedical research has concluded that cold temperatures, for example, do not contribute to getting sick. However, since biomedicine only became aware of the immune system in the 1960's, and OM has been treating colds and flu's for thousands of years, I would slightly favor the application of OM. It is true that OM's theories may be inexact at the same time that the treatments is applies according to those theories are effective. In another thousand years, once biomedical researchers and OM practitioners have tested and sifted through OM theories and treatments, we will have a stronger, more accurate, and integrated medical system. To err is human, to forgive is divine. So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on Bronchitis.

15 Anti-Viral Chinese Herbs Proven Effective in Human Studies Andrographis (Chuan xin lian): Viral hepatitis, encephalitis B, herpes zoster, viral influenza Astragalus (Huang qi): Restores immune function in immune suppression from chemotherapy, increases IgA, IgG, and interferon production Deer antler (Lu rong): Promotes lymphocyte transformation and treats leukopenia due to chronic benzene poisoning, promotes bone marrow function Ganoderma (Ling zhi): Treats hepatitis, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, altitude sickness, cancer (especially leukemia) Ginseng Ren shen: Increases resistance by stimulating adrenal gland via pituitary Isatis (Da qing ye, Ban lan gen): Encephalitis B, measles, mumps, infectious hepatitis, URTI Licorice (Gan cao): In pulmonary TB, it increased ESR - arthritis and hepatomegaly from hepatitis - acute and chronic hepatitis Lonicera (Jin yin hua): Severe acute pneumonia, bacillary dysntery Oldenlandia (Bai hua she she cao): Peritonitis, UTI, hepatitis, chronic bronchitis Phellodendron (Huang bai): Meningitis, dysentery, GI infection, conjunctivitis, UTI, candidal/trichomonal vaginitis Polygonum (He shou wu): Malaria Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu zhang): Lung infections, tonsillitis, hepatitis, RA, osteoarthritis Salvia (Dan shen): Hepatitis, SLE Siberian ginseng (Wu jia pi): Xue and qi xu - improves leukocyte count in 70% of leukopenic patients - caution when there is heat Sophora (Shan dou gen): Alkaloids effective in countering leukopenia due to radiation Viola (Zi hua di ding): TB A rolling stone gathers no moss. So if I just go on writing, and you don't understand, then it is of no use of me writing about Bronchitis! Whatever written should be understandable by the reader.

Superbacteria Medical professionals are now concerned about antibiotic-resistant 'superbacteria.' These superbacteria have evolved because of inappropriate medical prescriptions. Antibiotics are effective only against bacteria, not against viruses. MD's and DO's often prescribed antibiotics to pacify patients who refused to leave the doctor's office without them - even when the doctor knew the antibiotic would not help. The problem is that we are running out of antibiotic drugs; there is a finite number of them. It is thought that, in the future, the more complex treatment agents such as natural herbs may be our only defense. We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Bronchitis. This is to liven the mood when reading about Bronchitis.

Entrance of the Pathogen

The Lung (a system of correspondences including the lung, throat, nose, and skin) is the most exterior and most vulnerable organ. Sweating opens the pores, and 'wind' enters through pores. Wind can be thought of as the pathogen itself, since another quality (cold, damp, or heat, for example) is usually attached to describe the pathogen. Wind-heat, then, is the invasion of the body by a heat pathogen. It is with much interest that we got about to write on Bronchitis. So we do hope that you too read this article with the same, if not more interest!

Bronchitis is an Inflammation of the Bronchi

Bronchitis usually caused by infection but sometimes caused by irritation from a gas or particle. It occurs when your trachea (windpipe) and the large and small bronchi (airways) in your lungs become inflamed. There are two main types of bronchitis: acute and chronic. Acute bronchitis, usually caused by viruses or bacteria and may last several days or weeks. Acute bronchitis is characterized by cough and sputum (phlegm) production and symptoms related to the obstruction of the airways by the inflamed airways and the phlegm, such as shortness of breath and wheezing.

Drinking Fluids is Very Useful for Fever

Take aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) if you have a fever. Meta-analysis antibiotics may reduce symptoms by one-half day This is a dependable source of information on Acute Bronchitis Symptoms. All that has to be done to verify its authenticity is to read it!

Bronchitis and Prevention Tips 1.
Do not smoke. 2.
Minimize exposure to air pollutants. 3.
Use a humidifier or steam in the bathroom.

Older adults, infants and young children also have greater vulnerability to infection. Stomach acids that persistently back up into your esophagus may cause a chronic cough. To treat acute bronchitis that appears to be caused by a bacterial infection, or as a precaution, antibiotics may be given. Take aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol) if you have a fever. One of the best ways to keep from getting bronchitis is to wash your hands often to get rid of any viruses. Avoid exposure to paint or exhaust fumes, dust, and people with colds. Get help to quit smoking.Use a humidifier or steam in the bathroom.

Pneumonia can have symptoms like acute bronchitis. Symptoms of pneumonia can include a high fever, shaking chills, and shortness of breath. Bronchitis caused by Adenoviridae may cause systemic and gastroentestinal symptoms. Chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition. Chronic bronchitis "is characterized by hypersecretion of mucus accompanied by a chronic productive cough. People have a cough that produces excessive mucus. Chronic bronchitis keeps coming back and can last a long time, especially in people who smoke. Low resistance may result from another acute illness, such as a cold. We have avoided adding flimsy points on Chronic Bronchitis, as we find that the addition of such points have no effect on Chronic Bronchitis.
