Treatment for bronchitis (Bronchitis natural treatments).

1. Rest – get lots of rest to help your body heal itself.

2. Water – drink lots of water to help flush out toxins as well as to keep your body hydrated. Other fluids such as soups and teas are beneficial as well.

3. Eucalyptus Oil – Eucalyptus oil contains anti-viral properties so inhaling this oil can help to soothe the bronchial tubes.

4. Echinacea – this herb helps to boost your immune system which will help your body fight off the virus.

5. Humidify Your Environment – this helps your body to bring up the sputum and cough it out which is the body’s way of removing the virus. A steamy bath or shower can help as well as boiling water in a pot with the eucalyptus oil mentioned above or even peppermint oil can also help.

6. Gargling – you can try gargling with salt and warm water or another method is to use hydrogen peroxide. Do not swallow these, just gargle and spit out. They help to soothe an irritated throat.

7. Honey – this helps to soothe your throat and also has some other beneficial properties so you could add some to your tea if you do not want to consume it directly.

8. Lemons – can be added again to a tea. These help rid the respiratory system of bacteria and mucus.

9. Ginger – ginger works like an expectorant and is often used in a tea for helping with bronchitis.
