In order to treat bronchitis successfully, the mucus that has accumulated in the bronchial tubes must be loosened so that it can be coughed up.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inhalation<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Breathing in vapours clears the airways. Hot vapours are naturally inhaled during a hot shower or bath. You can also hold your head over a bowl of steaming water and place a towel over your head so that the vapour is inhaled directly and loosens the secretions in your lungs and bronchial tubes. The vapour treatment is more effective if you add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the water. Eucalyptus softens the mucus and has antibacterial properties.<\/p>\n A humidifier should be installed in the bedroom so that the air you breathe is moist enough to dilute the mucus.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Drink water<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To make it easier to cough up mucus, you should drink plenty of water and herbal tea, at least 250ml of liquid eight times a day. Alcohol and caffeine should be avoided.<\/p>\n Hot spices thin the mucus in the lungs and make coughing more effective.<\/p>\n Woolwort tea, also known as mullein tea, is a traditional remedy for respiratory diseases. The herb contains saponin and a gelatinous mucilage that soothes inflamed mucous membranes. Add 2 teaspoons of herb per cup, pour boiling water over it and leave to infuse for 10 minutes. Then strain. Woolwort tea can be drunk up to three times a day until the bronchial symptoms subside.<\/p>\n Avoid dairy products, milk stimulates mucus production and can worsen the symptoms.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Medication supplement<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Amoniacetylcysteine (AAC) or N-acetylcysteine (NAC) dilute and loosen the mucus. Take three times a day in the form of effervescent tablets between meals until the bronchial tubes are clear.<\/p>\n Echinacea strengthens the immune system and helps fight viruses and bacteria. For acute bronchitis take 500mg of echinacea four times a day, for chronic bronchitis twice a day.<\/p>\n R-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that helps heal inflamed airways. Lipoic acid attacks cell-damaging free radicals and thus supports health. In a healthy body, sufficient lipoic acid is produced, but when inflammation occurs, the cells are stressed and the body is weakened. Take 100mg R-lipoic acid three times a day with meals.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Prevention of bronchitis<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The most important prevention of chronic bronchitis is not to smoke and to avoid smoky environments.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Wear an appropriate protective mask against dust, vapours, exhaust fumes and other pollutants.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n To avoid catching viral bronchitis, wash your hands frequently and keep them away from your face, especially when in contact with other people who have a cold. Keep your nose and sinuses clear with saline solutions.<\/p>\n Vitamin C helps to fight viral diseases. Vitamin C is particularly effective in combination with bioflavonoids.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In order to treat bronchitis successfully, the mucus that has accumulated in the bronchial tubes must be loosened so that it can be coughed up. \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_id":["2504"],"_fgj2wp_old_id":["2098"],"rank_math_focus_keyword":["behandlung von bronchitis"],"rank_math_analytic_object_id":["2137"],"rank_math_internal_links_processed":["1"],"_trp_automatically_translated_slug_en_GB":["treatment-of-bronchitis"]},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gesundheit","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neuropool.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
