HOME REMEDIES FOR BRONCHITIS

Bronchitis is an inflammatory disease of the trachea. The tubes that carry air from the trachea to the lungs are called bronchi. In this, the walls of bronchi become unnecessarily weak due to infection and inflammation, due to which they become shaped like balloons. This swelling causes more mucus than normal, as well as these walls are unable to push out the accumulated mucus. As a result, there is a severe accumulation of thick mucus in the respiratory tubes, which causes obstruction in the tubes, due to this blockage, the lung part attached to the tubes is severely damaged and destroyed, or the balloons swell up. . The lungs and respiratory tract located in the damaged part are unable to perform their work smoothly and various types of complications arise in the patient’s body.

Difficulty in breathing is known as SHWAS ROG in Ayurveda .
