I had an acute Bronchitis a few months ago. I still feel that wheezing sound and blockage in my air pipe.

Any suggestions!

Thanks!

Yes, I took antibiotics course twice. Then I took from over the counter - mucinex for a month.
However, I still have this issue - it's been months since I had acute bronchitis.

Maybe you could do some research on natural remedies.

I tried ginger and honey and also tried Barandi 2 teaspoons for a few friday's. I don't drink alcohol and I still tried to recover.

I am taking raw ginger with my food.

Hi sVirgo5,

I have some info in my herbal texts regarding bronchitis (including acute) but the directions to heal it are kinda extensive, and include taking multiple herbs and diet change (for at least the amount of time it takes to expel what is left in your lungs). Bronchitis has more to do with stomach and kidney trouble believe it or not than resulting strictly from a cold/flu. I am happy to type the info out for you when I have time but I'm hoping you would actually try some the suggestions otherwise it can feel like a waste of time because lots of people aren't willing to go through with the longer term natural healing methods and really just want a quick fix, which is not something my herbal texts offer. I hope I can get back to you in a day or two!

Hi sorry it has taken me a while to get back, I am finding it hard to have time to type on the computer lately. Before I write what is in my books, I wanted to say that I would also recommend going to your local herb shop and tell them about your illness and remaining symptoms and ask if they have any teas and/or tinctures for bronchitis/lung issues. They may be able to help or suggest something they already have or know from experience. I don't know if you live by/in a city but if there is a herbal college by you they often offer free or cheaper consultations with supervised students.

Regarding Bronchitis-

"Treatment-
One of the first and most effective things to do in order to clear the throat and facilitate breathing is to take an emetic using warm water. Make a weak tea of cubeb berries, using one heaping teaspoonful to a pint of hot water. A pinch of cayenne added is excellent to cut the phlegm loose so that it can be expelled. After doing this, take a drink of hot chickweed tea to wash out the stomach (make the tea 15 minutes prior and keep covered while steeping). A very little lobelia (1/4 teaspoon) added will relax the throat, stomach, and bronchial tubes at once.

All foods listed here under Acid Forming Foods must be stricken from the diet and scrupulously avoided. Eat alkaline foods, as listed in this book. Freshly squeezed fruit juices of all kinds, especially pineapple, lemon, orange, and grapefruit are best (no sugar added) as they help to loosen and cut the phlegm.

Take equal parts of mullein, wild cherry bark, coltsfoot, yarrow, horehound, and buckthorn. Mix together, using one teaspoonful to a cup of boiling water (keep covered and steep 15-30 minutes). Take a cupful four times a day. It may be taken more often in smaller doses if preferred. (ie when making the mix of herbs for the tea, use 1/2 a cup of each herb then mix them together. When making the tea for the day, use a teaspoon for each cup of water. If you plan on drinking 4 cups of the tea that day, use 4 teaspoon to 4 cups, and consume the tea throughout the day). If you cannot obtain all of these herbs, read the descriptions of the different ones listed for bronchitis and then select the best one suited to your case.

I would repeat, if the breathing is very difficult and the cough severe, take two teaspoonfuls of cubeb berries, one teaspoonful of either peppermint or catnip, and one half teaspoonful herb or seed of lobelia to a quart of boiling water and let steep, covered. When the mixture becomes lukewarm, strain and drink as much of it as possible; then run your finger down your throat until it causes you to vomit. This will clear the stomach and the bronchial tubes of mucus and phlegm. After doing this relieve the colon and intestines of waste matter with a high enema, as constipation is one of the causes of the trouble. Then take laxative herbs and keep the bowels open.

A full hot bath, steam bath or vapor bath, followed by a short, cold shower is beneficial. Hot fomentation to the chest and spine, finishing with cold will do much to relieve the congestion. Hot foot baths with a tablespoon of crushed mustard seed in the water often gives great relief.

List of herbs for bronchitis (always ensure that herbs are organic):

Chickweed, wild cherry bark, coltsfoot, cubeb berries, golden seal, lungwort, mullein, myrrh, white pine, pleurisy root, sanicle, saw palmetto berries, skunk cabbage, slippery elm, ginger, blue violet, bethroot, red sage and lobelia can be used singly or in any combination you desire.

Everyone should have on hand antispasmodic tinctures and the cough medicine made according to the formulas given in this book.

Antispasmodic Tincture:

1 oz (28 grams) each of
Lobelia seed
Skullcap
Skunk cabbage
Myrrh
Black Cohosh

1/2 oz cayenne.

Take one pint of boiling water and one pint apple cider vinegar. Steep the herbs, covered, in the pint of boiling water one half-hour, strain, add the apple cider vinegar, bottle for use.

Drink or use as a gargle, one teaspoonful to half a cup of warm water. Repeat as often as necessary. It will cut all the mucus and kill the poisons. (Antispasmodic tincture can be use to cure snake and dog bites, tonsillitis, even lockjaw).
Cough Syrup:

454 grams (1 pound) Honey
714 ml (1.5 pints) Water

Bring to a simmer, remove the scum and add the following:

28 grams (1 ounce) White Horehound
28 grams (1 ounce) Wild Cherry Bark
28 grams (1 ounce) Anise seed
14 grams (1/2 ounce) Elecampane Root
7 grams (1/4 ounce) Lobelia inflata


Simmer with the lid on for 15 minutes. Strain. Product should be 476 ml (one pint) to which add, 357 ml (3/4 pint) of Raspberry Vinegar.

The above makes one of the finest cough syrups, and can be given with advantage to all ages where such is needed, as in asthma, bronchitis, common cough etc. It is palatable and will keep well. Dose, 15 ml (1 tablespoon) every 1, 2 or 3 hours for an adult. 12 years of age, 10 ml (two teaspoons); infants in proportion.

We have given this syrup to our own children in 10 ml doses at 4 and 5 years of age and have repeated the dose in 2 or 3 minutes if the phlegm has been troublesome. It removes the phlegm, thereby stopping the cough and heals quickly. "

sVirgo5,

I must also say that if you are having lung troubles, you should take the herb chickweed as much as you can, it is amazing for lung trouble and a person basically can't take too much of it. You can take it fresh or dried, taken as tea or eaten as food. Its benefits are innumerable. It is quite light tasting and palatable, it isn't pungent or bitter in anyway.

I've also got some interesting info from a book about healing from the Edgar Cayce readings. The information is quite similar to my herb books. To tired to type it out now. I hope this helps.

That's so awesome sVirgo5, I'm happy to help! I just copied straight out from my books. Herbal and/or natural ways of healing can take longer and can require more severe discipline but are usually so worth it and so much better for the body. I really hope the stuff you got helps!
Please give any updates if you want!
Happy healing

Thanks, I already saw the big difference for myself.
My son had flu symptoms over the weekend, I gave him that tincture and cough syrup. He was good to go to work on Monday.

Thanks!
