BRONCHITIS --
Causes
and Symptoms: Bronchitis is the inflammation of the tubes that lead
from the throat to the lungs. The inflammation tends to impede the
process of breathing because phlegm tends to stick to its insides.
Treatment:
The sufferer from bronchitis must fast for as long as the acute
symptoms last. He should only take water and orange juice. An all fruit
diet should be taken when the fever attendant upon bronchitis has gone
down the breathing is easier. A hot Epsom salt bath every night or
alternative nights will be beneficial during the acute stage of the
disease. A wet pack should be applied to the upper part of the chest
every day. Hot towels (dipped in hot water and wrung out) applied to the
chest are also helpful. The phlegm sticking to the insides of the
bronchial tubes will be dislodged and the sufferer will feel an
immediate relief in breathing. After the hot compresses, a cold compress
should be applied.
After relief is obtained the sufferer should
take to natural feeding because if that is not done, the disease is
likely to recur and it may become chronic. Breathing exercises, a
friction sponge (rubbing the body with a hand towel dipped in water and
wrung out) should be taken regularly. Hot Epsom salt baths should be
taken twice or thrice weekly.
