How to Quickly Cure Your Bronchitis without Medicine

By Paul Tamens


Have you ever suffered from bronchitis and wonder if there was a way to rid yourself of it without taking any medicine? There are several reasons why you might want to cure yourself naturally. Perhaps you are uninsured and can't afford the costs. You may simply have a preference for alternative or natural cures. Well there are in fact ways that you can cure yourself of bronchitis without taking medicine.

There are two levels of severity that bronchitis reveals itself. The least severe form of bronchitis is acute bronchitis. This is the type of bronchitis that is based on an attack of the body by a virus or bacteria. The most severe form of bronchitis is chronic bronchitis. This is the type of bronchitis that usually shows up in smokers. By knowing what type of bronchitis you have this gives you more options for determining what is the best form of treatment.

One of the best ways to cure bronchitis is to take it easy and get plenty of rest. The two best places to be when you have bronchitis: in your bed under the covers and on your couch under the covers. You want to get as much sleep as you can and when you are awake, restrict yourself to non strenuous activities such as watching television and listening to music. Taking a nice long hot bath will do wonders for you as well.

To power your immune system as well as clear out many of the harmful toxins that trigger the bronchitis illness, you want to make sure you drink plenty of fluids and liquid based meals. Fluids and liquid based meals go through the body smoother thus making it easier for the body to get the nutrients it needs to power the immune system. Secondly bronchitis forces the body to work harder and drains out liquids from the body at a faster rate. If you are suffering from bronchitis you should drink plenty of water as well as eat plenty of soup.

If you are looking for a natural approach there are some additional options you should consider. One option is aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is based on the principle of using natural and organic components in nature to heal the body. For instance, plants that have been known to possess healing properties are used to create oils that can be either rubbed on the body or breathed in as an aroma. By using aromatherapy you are able to treat bronchitis without having to use medicine simply by using natural elements from the earth.

In order to cure bronchitis you must limit the amount of mucus build up that takes place by expelling it as much as possible. Anything that you can do to increase the frequency and productivity of your cough aids in the curing process. For example, if you take a warm shower or breathe in the humid air that a warm shower creates, it makes it easier for you to breathe and clears up your lungs. It also makes it easier for you to cough out the mucus build up.

There are many ways you can treat bronchitis without medicine. However, if you find that your condition is not getting better after a couple of weeks, seek a medical professional.
