Want to help: Can Chinese medicine cure bronchitis?


Expert Reply

Hello, yes, bronchitis can be cured. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways in the lungs. The main tubes that air flows through in the lungs are called bronchi, and branching off them are smaller tubes called bronchioles. When these tubes become inflamed it causes narrowing, constriction, and blockage of the airways, which leads to symptoms of bronchitis.

Instructions:
The Chinese look at bronchitis as an invasion of pathogens or a malfunction of the internal organs of the body. The pathogenic infection is known as an invasion of Wind Cold, accompanied by a dry cough and whitish mucus. The Chinese medicine prescribes the use of ginger to combat this. Bronchitis, in which the mucus is yellow-green in color, is called Wind Heat bronchitis, and herbal formulas constituting fritillaria extracts and tricosanthis fruit are useful in treating this. The Chinese extensively uses a mixture comprising many effective herbs, which have long been used in China for medicinal purposes.

Useful Tips:
To thin mucus and help you cough it up more easily, drink lots of water‘at least eight 250-mL glasses each day. And avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks, which dehydrate your system and make the mucus tougher to dislodge.
Eat chile peppers, hot spicy salsa, or dishes prepared with cayenne pepper. Fiery foods don’t just make your nose run’they also thin the mucus in your lungs, helping you cough more productively.

Drink mullein tea. Mullein, a traditional folk remedy for respiratory ailments, offers another way to clear mucus from your lungs. It contains saponins, which help loosen phlegm, along with a gelatinous mucilage that soothes raw mucous membranes. Boil a cup of water, remove from the heat, and drop in two teaspoons dried mullein leaves. Let the tea steep for 10 minutes, then strain out the wet leaves and drink the tea. You can drink up to three cups a day.

Avoid milk products. Cow’s milk contains lactalbumin, which stimulates the production of mucus in the upper and lower respiratory tract and in the intestines. (Young calves, with four stomachs, need this extra mucus to help protect their intestinal tracts from strong stomach acids…but you don’t!) When humans drink cow’s milk, the result is excessive mucus production.
