Old Home Remedies For Bronchitis

Hey, thanks for coming back to visit the site!

Bronchitis is a respiratory condition where the main air passages to the lungs become inflamed. These air passages are known as bronchi and hence the name of the ailment. Bronchitis causes a cough combined with breathing difficulty and tightness in the chest. The coughing can often be associated with the production of mucus.

There are a number of old home remedies for bronchitis that can be used and the most common of these is to use tumeric. This is done by mixing a half teaspoon of tumeric in a glass of milk and drinking it two or three times a day. It is best to take this mixture on an empty stomach.

Another old home remedy for bronchitis is onion juice. Apparently you can take a teaspoon of onion juice in the morning. I haven’t tried this and I doubt that I am likely to.

My old granny used to also use a mustard poultice for chest infections where she would mix an equal amount of flour, water and mustard and spread it on a cloth rag.  This would then be applied to the chest.  I remember this helping my infections of the chest as a child.  The mustard could sting however, so make sure you test this on a small area first.

Try these old home remedies to help with your bronchitis.
