Herbal Remedies For Respiratory Ailments

Respiratory ailments are particularly troublesome. When you aren't breathing well, your entire body is affected. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, which are the medium-size airways in the lungs. Often, bronchitis can develop as you're getting over a cold and your immune system is weakened. Drinking an herbal tea blended from olive leaves, St John's Wort, Black Walnut Hulls, White Oak Bark and other ingredients will serve two purposes. The warm tea soothes and comforts, while the natural blend helps strengthen your immune system allowing you to fight the infection in your body.

When bronchitis develops the airways become inflamed and a colored mucus can be produced in large amounts. Depending upon how healthy the lungs are, it can be difficult to expel the mucus, especially if it becomes extremely thick. If this colored mucus continues for three months out of a year for two consecutive years, the diagnosis changes to chronic bronchitis. It's very important to keep the mucus as thin as possible to make it easy to expel. A blend of mullein leaves, capsicum and fenugreek is a safe, effective formula that will help in the thinning of the mucus.
