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.

I have bought these teabags as gifts and recently for myself. We all found that the tea has a very calming effect. Will definitely be buying some more.
The service from purchase to delivery is very efficient
I’m coming to the end of my second month using The Natural Health Market's Marine Collagen Powder, I can confidently say it has been a game changer—especially for my hair! I have noticed visible improvements, it has also become an easy and welcome addition to my daily routine.
Every morning, I mix two spoons of collagen powder (roughly 15g) with a teaspoon of organic cacao powder and a teaspoon of coconut sugar into my decaf coffee. I blend it with cold milk first then top up with hot water from the kettle. It tastes really good, feels like a treat while also supporting my well-being.
I’ve dubbed these three products the Power Throuple! The combination of marine collagen, rich cacao and coconut sugar, blends well, makes a great tasting and satisfying brew, keeps hunger at bay and delivers results!
These bags allow me to have a drink and help boost my immune system as well…it’s a win win.
Ia have been buying Himalayan salt from Natural health Market for years. It's the best I've tried so far.
Not to mention all the other stuff the sale like teas, etc.
I have replaced my wake up coffee with a mug of organic ginger tea every morning for over 6 months and feel a real boost to the day. I find them great for my digestive and immune systems. Dealing with The Natural Health Market is seamless with orders arriving as expected. Thank you to the team.
My 1st time of tasting hibiscus tea and I love it.

I can't comment on health benefits as ice only used it for a short while.
It's a little bit of me time.
Purchased these capsules as advised by a health professional. Found this company which offer organic products which I prefer . Been taking for a couple of weeks so is is a little early to give a true statement. Will continue to take this supplement as I'm hoping it will help with inflammation. Will definitely purchase again .

I absolutely love this tea, and I'm quite choosy with my teas. It's light, with a slight sweetness and not bitter. The perfect tea for anytime of day, and great for keeping hydration levels up when water gets boring! I keep coming back for more 😊
Really happy with this protein powder, it mixes so nicely and tastes amazing blended with a banana and some strawberries or whatever fruit you like, even on its own it tastes nice too! It’s worth the money and a good team behind the name, thank you !
I've been using these capsules for many years, good quality and easy to digest.
