How Do You Get Rid of a Bronchial Naturally?

Untitled-1.pngis the infection of lung bronchi due to which your lungs become irritated and inflamed. The inflammation mainly occurs in the inner lining of bronchial tubes. The main function of the bronchial tube is to carry air to and from your lungs. Due to this, a person who has been suffering from bronchitis often face the problems of a cough, thickened mucus, respiratory infection, and inflammation.  Bronchitis may be either acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is very common and last for a few weeks. But in the case of chronic bronchitis, it lasts for several weeks and keeps coming back and causes serious health issues such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Causes

• The bronchitis is mainly caused when you get infected with cold and flu. The main reason behind the cold and flu are viruses. These viruses cause inflammation and swelling in the bronchial tube due to which bronchial tube produces more mucus. That acts as an obstacle in the bronchial tube and reduces the air flow which make it harder for a person to breathe easily.
• Smoking is also one of the major factors behind bronchitis. Along with this, air pollution, toxic environmental gases are also associated with the bronchitis problem. People who smoke a lot and who live with a smoker are at high risk of facing this problem.
• People with low immunity are also at high risk of developing bronchitis. Low immunity people get virus infection instantly and that’s why they are more prone to bronchitis.
• People who are working around the substances that irritate their lungs such as chemicals, fumes, and dust (such as coal mining industries). This is also one of the major causes of bronchitis.

Ayurvedic Aspect

According to Ayurveda bronchitis is known as “Kasroga”. There are three main doshas in the human body such as Kapha, Pitta, and Vata which plays important role in proper body functioning. The poor digestion, poor diet and less elimination of waste products from the body lead to the formation of ama in the lungs. This will provide the best environment for the production of infectious viruses and organisms in the bronchial area. The primary dosha associated with bronchitis is Kapha dosha, which is the main reason behind mucus formation. This will lead to narrowing of bronchial airways. It also interferes with Vata dosha and causes difficulty in breathing.
