The respiratory system is responsible for the absorption and distribution of oxygen, it is a complex and vital system of the body. While many conditions affect the performance and effectiveness of this scheme, asthma and bronchitis are two of the most common respiratory tract ailments.
Treating any serious condition that affects the respiratory system, should be done with the supervision and advice of a doctor or healthcare worker. However, home remedies may help reduce symptom severity to help you breathe easy once again.
The respiratory system can respond well to many effective home remedies; asthma & bronchitis can affect people to different degrees. Mild asthma is usually completely manageable, whereas server asthma can be completely debilitating; the same goes for bronchial disorders.
Here are two common home remedies that people have used to ease discomforts from asthma and bronchitis. This list is by no means conclusive; there are many ways that conditions can be reduced, if you have one that works for you, please tell us about it in the comments at the end of this article.
Nearly 10% of Americans suffer from asthma at some point in their life, the respiratory disorder is prevalent in Europe too. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and while pharmacology research continually develops effective treatments, this long-standing asthma home remedy may reduce airway inflammation common with this condition.
Lobelia, or Indian tobacco, has been used for centuries to reduce respiratory blockages caused by various conditions. While still under investigation, the University of Maryland Medical Centre suggests its internal consumption may reduce asthma symptom severity.
Although dangerous when consumed in large quantities, small doses may curb the severity of mucus accumulation and airway inflammation.
Natural remedy guru, Andrew Weil, M.D., recommends a tincture comprised of three parts liquid lobelia (available at most herbal retail stores) and one part cayenne pepper. Capsaicin, the active compound of cayenne, is scientifically proven to increase circulation and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Curb asthma symptom severity by mixing 20 drops of this solution with lukewarm water. Consume up to four doses for maximum relief.
As mucus membranes in bronchial tubes become inflamed, due to viral infections or asthma, airway walls thicken and breathing ease is dramatically reduced. While healthy adults tend to rid these symptoms without the use of medications, home remedies for asthma may boost healing and recovery time by reducing symptoms such as mucus accumulation and airway inflammation.
Combat mucus build-up and relieve symptom severity by mixing peppermint essential oil or eucalyptus oil with steaming-hot water. The University of Maryland Medical Centre states the active ingredient of peppermint, menthol, reduces bronchitis and other respiratory tract ailments by supporting the expulsion of mucus from bronchial tubes.
Half fill a medium sized saucepan with water and boil and transfer the water to a heat-resistant container. As the steam rises, add four-to-five drops of peppermint oil and drape and towel over your head. Leaning your head over the steam, deeply inhale the peppermint-infused steam for three-to-five minutes. Have plenty tissues on hand, as phlegm and mucus will be bought up from your lungs. Repeat as needed to provide bronchitis symptom relief.

A friend recommended this because she said she's been drinking it every day for years and hasn't been ill since. Unfortunately that hasn't worked for me but I'm not as religious about taking it. I do feel maybe I'm sick for less time since I've been drinking it reasonably regularly.... Another friend of mine loves it and I've just bought her a packet.
Your Hemp tea is sublime.
I am thoroughly enjoying.
Thank you so very much.
I plan to investigate/sample other teas in the very near future.
Thank you
Love these - great flavour as always from Natural Health
Ginger is a natural anti inflammatory so I like to drink this tea to help when ever needed, in particular for my digestive system & sinus inflammation. I particularly like that these are organic & are not mixed with other flavours. Although I don't drink these regularly I feel confident & comforted that I can rely on these quality organic ginger tea bags.
Fast delivery, high quality, recommend
These ginger tea bags are fantastic! The flavor is warm and spicy, perfect for soothing the stomach and relaxing any time of day. No bitterness, just a pure, refreshing ginger taste. Highly recommend for ginger lovers!
A friend recommended these to help combat the effects of radiotherapy and I am very pleased to say they are also delicious.
Really good product, this is my third time ordering it. Service is fantastic too, convenient packaging for initial purchase (buying the tin) and subsequent refill packs
A friend recommended your turmeric tea a few weeks ago. I’ve been have 2 cups a day and have found amazing benefits regarding arthritic pain in the joints. It’s high grade turmeric and organic. Highly recommend.
I always make a mug of echinacea tea first thing in the morning, and take it with me into the shower room. By the time I’ve had my shower it’s cool enough to drink.
I have been doing this for the past 15 years and I think it helps to keep colds at bay.
I don't like ordinary tea, and am always looking for alternatives to fruit and herbal teas. I first came across Hibiscus tea in Egypt this year and have not looked back.
This organic tea is delicious and not too sweet either, perfect for my early morning cuppa and so good for me too.
Consider me a very happy customer as the Natural Health Market provide an excellent service, lovingly prepared orders that make you feel valued and they deliver in a timely fashion. I got the organic cacao powder, which I’m already reaping the benefits of, and they even threw in some complimentary rooibos tea, which I had no idea I liked but now I do!
I’ll be back…
These are the best ginger tea bags I have found. No added extras or flavours just pure ginger. One tea bag could make a pot of tea as it is quite strong just how I like it. I drink it just with boiling water or with a little oat milk. It is also great as a nightcap with hot oat milk.
This is my second time ordering and very happy with the product and the service. With my last order they included a free sample of their herbal tea which was also good and a nice touch. I will definitely be continuing to purchase from this company
Absolutely love this tea,it's a perfect blend,not too strong,I love it
