Home Remedies For Bronchitis
Using Essential Oils
Eucalyptus, rosemary and myrtle are all at the top of the essential oil list as home remedies for bronchitis. And they work! My husband recently woke up in the middle of the night with acute bronchitis. Hacking and coughing away with tears in his eyes. It sounds awful. Like the lungs are going to burst and he was gasping for breath. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes lining in the lungs. This inflammation can be caused by bacteria, mold, chemical particles, cigarette smoke, and easily turn into an infection if not taken care of immediately. A low grade inflammation that goes on for many months will turn into chronic bronchitis. Now for home remedies for bronchitis:
This is where essential oils come in:
It's the middle of the night and we both agreed the emergency room was not quite necessary yet. - So I took 2 to 3 drops each of rosemary, eucalyptus and wintergreen and applied them one after the other on my man's chest. Giving each a minute to work into the skin. This is called "layering of oils".
- Then I took a hot compress, laid it over the chest, covered it with a doubled dry towel, tucked him under the blanket and let it all rest until it cooled off.
After a few more small coughs, my husband fell asleep and slept for four hours straight! He felt huge relief in being able to breathe, and the sharp pain in his lungs went away. - We reapplied the same oils next morning, also using a special blend called R.C.® (Respiratory Conditions), and twice more during the day.
My husband tells me the pain went away, there was no more "rawness feeling", the inflammation went down, it loosened up a lot of mucus which was then able to leave the body through the occasional coughing fit. - We used a diffuser with peppermint, R.C.®, Thieves®, Lemon and Lavender throughout the day.
Within four days there were no more signs of his acute bronchitis. Needless to say, he is a firm believer in the essential oils. Home remedies for bronchitis in a tiny bottle.
  first recommendations: other single oils to use: An excellent recommendation for bronchitis is gargling. You can use one or two drops of oil in water, tea tree and lemon are safe to use, gargle every hour or as needed. Thieves® mouthwash may be easier to use and is highly effective. Your electric diffuser will be very important to use with any respiratory issues.
