[size=4][b]Prednisolone Bronchitis - Bronchitis Remedies - What Works and What Doesn't[/b][/size][hr]You'herbal remedies for cough and bronchitis, the bad news is that there's no official cure. You'll just have to wait for it to go away on its own. At the same time, that doesn't mean you have to suffer with full-blown symptoms; there are bronchitis remedies out there.

[list][*]A pan, heat up some castor oil plant leaves.[*]After they cool, spread them on your chest (or on whoever else has bronchitis).[*]But remember, it's poisonous, so don't eat it![*]Try to keep the leaves somewhere overnight. Wink[/list]

[size=large][b]You Need Some Bronchitis Remedies, Here's a List to Get You Started:[/b][/size][hr]1. In a glass of milk, add half a teaspoon of turmeric. Drink this two to three times a day on an empty stomach. The first impression is the best impression. We have written this article on Bronchitis in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it!

[size=large][b]Make a Tea from 1/2 Teaspoon of Pepper, Cloves, and Ginger Powder[/b][/size][hr]Or you could mix them all up with honey and eat that. This mixture works as an anti inflammatory that cuts down on mucous production. Ginger can also help boost the immune system. We have included the history of Treating Bronchitis here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it's history can you learn more about Treating Bronchitis.

[list][*]Onion juice.[*]Yes, onion juice, one teaspoon each morning to be exact for the next four months.[*]It might be hard to swallow, but onions can help you heal.[/list]

[i]Lot of these bronchitis remedies might seem a little unorthodox, but these natural products often have excellent expectorant, mucous-reducing, anti-viral agents.[/i]

[list][*]Some other bronchitis remedies include veggies.[*]Take some fresh spinach leaves, eight ounces of water, and mix a teaspoon of honey and a wee bit of ammonium chloride.[*]This is a good bronchitis remedy.[/list]

1/2 teaspoon of licorice root tea steeped in a cup of hot water is another good remedy. Allow it to cool first, strain it, then drink. Do this three times a day. The facts on Symptoms Bronchitis mentioned here have a consequential impact on your understanding on Symptoms Bronchitis. This is because these facts are the basic and important points about Symptoms Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Mix Equal Amounts of Water, Flour, and Mustard Powder Together[/b][/size][hr]Spread this over the chest of whoever is suffering from bronchitis. A word of warning: Test this on a small area of the skin first, since a lot of people are sensitive to mustard. Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Bronchitis. There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.

Bronchitis can be referred to as a very common respiratory condition. It can hit almost anyone. There is no special age at which this disease can show its' symptoms. However, certain people are more vulnerable to this disease. Smokers and people exposed to smoke or environmental pollution, are at the risk of developing this disease.

Step four: The temperature of patient may go up to 102 degrees or even more. e) Step five: You should look for the symptoms of a patient such as swelling in legs, feet or ankles, blue-tinged lips and pus in sputum for advanced stages of bronchitis. The length of an article is rather immaterial about its response from people. People are more interested in the matter about Bronchitis, and not length.

When it comes to chronic bronchitis, the symptoms are of moderate intensity. However, these are persistent and possess what is known as recidivating character. When compared to acute bronchitis, this type is infectious and certainly requires expert and specific medical attention. The treatment should not be interrupted in any way until directed by the doctor.

[list][*]Step one: You need to look for some of the common symptoms including running nose, sneezing, dry cough and cold.[*]Usually the coughing increases after a few days.[*]You may also experience pain in the throat and also puke phlegm in greenish yellow color.[/list]

Some of the most common factors contributing to this disease include smoking, genetic predisposition to developing respiratory diseases, immunologic deficiencies and prolonged exposure to irritants such as pollutants, dust, chemicals and pollen. Any sort of infection with viruses or bacteria can also be a good reason to development of this disease. The more interesting an article, the more takers there are for the article. So we have made it a point to make this article on Acute Bronchitis as interesting as possible!

Now, the question is how to recognize the potential bronchitis symptoms (acute or chronic) in order to seek immediate medical attention. Here is a detailed guide in this regard to help you: As we got to writing on Acute Bronchitis Symptoms, we found that the time we were given to write was inadequate to write all that there is to write about Acute Bronchitis Symptoms! So vast are its resources.

[size=large][b]Step Three:[/b][/size][hr]The lungs would emit out some abnormal sounds. The doctor will be in a position to confirm this once he or she listens to the breathing of the patient carefully with the help of a stethoscope. This article has been written with the intention of showing some illumination to the meaning of Acute Bronchitis. This is so that those who don't know much about Acute Bronchitis can learn more about it.

[size=large][b]To Start With, Acute Bronchitis Symptoms can be Really Intense[/b][/size][hr]However, these symptoms fade away within a few days time. In case, this type of bronchitis is cause by infection with viruses, it will go on itself. You don't require any medical treatment. However, in case bronchitis symptoms tend to persist and get intense, you must seek the advice of your health care practitioner.

Quote:[list][*]Step two: You need to look for wheezing of the patient immediately after the coughing stage.[*]You would also observe fatigue and some discomfort in the chest.[/list]

Don't stop the treatment even if you see some relief in the symptoms. Medical experts believe that interrupted the treatment would support reoccurrence of the disease as well as the bronchitis symptoms to become more intense.

Bad news: This disease can be a real health problem and pain in the neck making it very difficulty to cope up with daily activities of life. Good news: This respiratory disease can be easily treated when detected on time. People are inclined to think that some matter found here that is important facts about asthmatic bronchitis is false. However, rest is assured, all that is written here is true!

Pneumonia is an infectious disease which lies deep in the lungs, as in contrast with bronchitis, which is an infection in the gateway to the lungs, or the bronchial tubes. Among the noted infectious diseases in the US, pneumonia is currently the nation's leading killer and the nation's fifth leading cause of death overall, claiming more lives annually than AIDS.

[size=large][b]Astragalus (Astragalus, Various Species)[/b][/size][hr]This herb, which is also called huang qi, astragalus is a potent immune booster and traditional Asian medicine's answer to our own echinacea. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Pneumonia Bronchitis. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

Echinacea Antibiotics may be indicated in treating bacterial pneumonia, however in any type of infectious pneumonia, which could either be bacterial, viral or fungal, herbalists recommend herbs that enhance the immune system, and among the herbs they recommend is Echinacea. Many scientific studies indicate that this herb aids the body in warding off all sorts of bacteria, viruses and fungi.

According to health experts, most of those deaths come from two sources; first is influenza, which may progress to pneumonia, particularly in the elderly, and hospital-acquired infections in those who are ill from other causes but develop pneumonia because they have weakened immune systems. Time and tide waits for no man. So once we got an idea for writing on Bronchitis Infection, we decided not to waste time, but to get down to writing about it immediately!

[size=large][b]The Social Costs of Pneumonia[/b][/size][hr]It is estimated that around 40,000 elderly Americans die of pneumonia each year, so it's not an ordinary disease to simply shrug off. Other individuals at risk include those with alcoholism, cancer, cirrhosis, heart or kidney failure, sickle-cell disease, spleen, disorders or recent organ transplant patients.

[size=large][b]Helpful Herbal Treatments for this Disease[/b][/size][hr]Aside from regularly taking the medications your doctor prescribes, you may also try some herbal and nutritional alternatives that have been noted to possess anti-pneumonia fighting qualities. However, you need to first consult with your doctor before using any of these herbs. To err is human, to forgive is divine. So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on Bronchitis Infection.

The bacteria that causes this infectious disease are so abundant in hospitals that according to a US health care report, an estimated 4 percent of all patients develop the infection, most likely as a direct result of their hospital stay. As the information we produce in our writing on Bronchitis may be utilized by the reader for informative purposes, it is very important that the information we provide be true. We have indeed maintained this.

Lieu, of injections, it is also suggested that a patient take a mixture of Baikal skullcap and either of these herbs: barberry, goldthread, goldenseal, Oregon grape and/or yellowroot. Baikal skullcap may be quite hard to find in most herbal health shops and tores, however it's readily available in most Chinese herb stores. Isn't it amazing how much information can be transferred through a single page? So much stands to gain, and to lose about Bronchitis through a single page.

[size=large][b]Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria Baicalensis)[/b][/size][hr]Scientific data from China indicates that the root of this plant, which is closely related to skullcap, has potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial effects. This herb helps inhibit flu viruses and several pneumonia-causing fungi, and in some cases, Chinese physicians sometimes inject a solution of Baikal skullcap, goldthread and amur cork tree extracts to alleviate or treat pneumonia, flu and other respiratory infections. We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Bronchitis Infection. This is to liven the mood when reading about Bronchitis Infection.

[size=large][b]Dandelion (Taraxacum Officinale)[/b][/size][hr]A large number of clinical trials have analyzed and demonstrated dandelion's potency against pneumonia, bronchitis and upper respiratory infections. In preparing a solution, it is suggested to cook the greens and roots. Afterwards, drink the juice that remains after the greens are cooked. You can also drink tea made from the dried herb, or you can also take this in capsule form. It is rather inviting to go on writing on Bronchitis Infection. however as there is a limitation to the number of words to be written, we have confined ourselves to this. However, do enjoy yourself reading it.

[size=4][b]Viral Bronchial Infection - Herbal Therapy for Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Numerous herbs have anti-inflammatory and expectorant capabilities and are helpful in fighting bronchitis. A handful of common remedies follow. To soothe a dry bronchial cough, drink a hot mullein-coltsfoot tea several times a day

[list][*]To make the tea, steep 1 teaspoon each of dried mullein, coltsfoot, and anise seed in 1 cup boiling water for 10 minutes; strain.[*]For bronchial spasms, drink thyme 3 three times daily.[*]To prepare the tea, steep 1 teaspoon of thyme leaves in 1 cup of boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes; strain through cheesecloth. Big Grin[*]For centuries, apricot seed has been used in formulas to treat the coughs and wheezing associated with bronchitis.[*]Use caution with this herb, as apricot seed alone can be toxic in high doses. [/list]

[size=large][b]Traditional Chinese Medicine[/b][/size][hr]Acupuncture Acupuncture is useful in opening up congested bronchial tubes and lessening inflammation, which can ease breathing. and relieve the chronic cough that plagues many bronchitis sufferers.

[b]Acupressure To relieve bronchial spasms, acupressure targets the lung, spleen, stomach, kidney, bladder, conception vessel, and adrenal points on the forearm, front of the calf, back of the neck, chest, ankles, and upper back (between the shoulder blades and the spine).[/b]

[list][*]Hydrotherapy Use steam inhalation to help clear congestion.[*]See "Aromatherapy" in "Introduction to Complementary Therapies" section for directions.[*]Adding aromatic oils is optional.[*]A mustard plaster can be applied to the chest to loosen deep congestion.[*]Homeopathy Bronchitis may respond to homeopathic treatment.[*]However, the selection of a remedy-more than one is available depends on your symptoms and the stage of the Condition.[*]Don't try treating this disorder yourself.[*]See a homeopathic professional.[/list]
[size=medium][b]Kennel Cough Medicine Watch This![/b][/size]




[size=large][b]To Quiet a Cough, Try Echinacea Tincture[/b][/size][hr]Take 15 to 30 drops 2 to 5 times daily. To loosen phlegm and open clogged bronchial tubes, drink coltsfoot tea daily. To make the tea, steep 1 to 2 teaspoons of the herb in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes; strain. We have omitted irrelevant information from this composition on Dry Bronchial Cough as we though that unnecessary information may make the reader bored of reading the composition.

[size=large][b]To Soothe Inflamed Bronchial Tubes, Sip Plain Mullein Tea[/b][/size][hr]To make the tea, steep 1 to 2 teaspoons of the herb in 1 cup of boiling water for 10 minutes; strain. Inspiration can be considered to be one of the key ingredients to writing. Only if one is inspired, can one get to writing on any subject especially like Bronchitis.

[i]Chinese Herbal Therapy Chinese doctors blame internal damp-heat conditions for bronchitis, and thus will most often treat this condition by using herbs to expel the damp-heat and fortify the lungs and bronchial tubes. [/i]

[list][*]Using auricular therapy, an acupuncturist targets the bronchi, heart, lung, and adrenal gland points.[*]In performing full-body acupuncture, various lung, liver, stomach, and bronchial points are manipulated.[*]If additional symptoms are present (coughing, phlegm, or fever) other points are targeted, as necessary.[/list]

The fluoroquinolones are a relatively new group of antibiotics. Fluoroquinolones were first introduced in 1986, but they are really modified quinolones, a class of antibiotics, whose accidental discovery occurred in the early 1960. :o.


[size=medium][b]Chronic Bronchitis .the Magnified View Shows the Irregular[/b][/size]
[Image: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/979/i...rbr39.jpeg]


[size=large][b]Third Generation[/b][/size][hr]The third-generation fluoroquinolones are separated into a third class because of their expanded activity against gram-positive organisms, particularly penicillin-sensitive and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, and atypical pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Although the third-generation agents retain broad gram-negative coverage, they are less active than ciprofloxacin against Pseudomonas species. After reading what was written here, don't you get the impression that you had actually heard about these points sometime back. Think back and think deeply about Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]First Generation[/b][/size][hr]The first-generation agents include cinoxacin and nalidixic acid, which are the oldest and least often used quinolones. These drugs had poor systemic distribution and limited activity and were used primarily for gram-negative urinary tract infections. Cinoxacin and nalidixic acid require more frequent dosing than the newer quinolones, and they are more susceptible to the development of bacterial resistance. Revision is very important when writing or speaking about a topic. We had a lot of drafting to do to come to this final product on Bronchitis. Wink

[size=large][b]Gastrointestinal Effects[/b][/size][hr]The most common adverse events experienced with fluoroquinolone administration are gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain), which occur in 1 to 5% of patients. CNS effects. Headache, dizziness, and drowsiness have been reported with all fluoroquinolones. Insomnia was reported in 3-7% of patients with ofloxacin. Severe CNS effects, including seizures, have been reported in patients receiving trovafloxacin. Seizures may develop within 3 to 4 days of therapy but resolve with drug discontinuation. Although seizures are infrequent, fluoroquinolones should be avoided in patients with a history of convulsion, cerebral trauma, or anoxia. No seizures have been reported with levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, and gemifloxacin. With the older non-fluorinated quinolones neurotoxic symptoms such as dizziness occurred in about 50% of the patients. Phototoxicity. Exposure to ultraviolet A rays from direct or indirect sunlight should be avoided during treatment and several days (5 days with sparfloxacin) after the use of the drug. The degree of phototoxic potential of fluoroquinolones is as follows: lomefloxacin > sparfloxacin > ciprofloxacin > norfloxacin = ofloxacin = levofloxacin = gatifloxacin = moxifloxacin. Musculoskeletal effects. Concern about the development of musculoskeletal effects, evident in animal studies, has led to the contraindication of fluoroquinolones for routine use in children and in women who are pregnant or lactating. Tendon damage (tendinitis and tendon rupture). Although fluoroquinolone-related tendinitis generally resolves within one week of discontinuation of therapy, spontaneous ruptures have been reported as long as nine months after cessation of fluoroquinolone use. Potential risk factors for tendinopathy include age >50 years, male gender, and concomitant use of corticosteroids. Hepatoxicity. Trovafloxacin use has been associated with rare liver damage, which prompted the withdrawal of the oral preparations from the U.S. market. However, the IV preparation is still available for treatment of infections so serious that the benefits outweigh the risks. Cardiovascular effects. The newer quinolones have been found to produce additional toxicities to the heart that were not found with the older compounds. Evidence suggests that sparfloxacin and grepafloxacin may have the most cardiotoxic potential. Hypoglycemia/Hyperglycemia. Recently, rare cases of hypoglycemia have been reported with gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin in patients also receiving oral diabetic medications, primarily sulfonylureas. Although hypoglycemia has been reported with other fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin and moxifloxacin), the effects have been mild. Hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity reactions occur only occasionally during quinolone therapy and are generally mild to moderate in severity, and usually resolve after treatment is stopped. It is of no use thinking that you know everything, when in reality, you don't know anything! It is only because we knew so much about Bronchitis that we got down to writing about it!

[size=large][b]Fluoroquinolones Advantages:[/b][/size][hr]Ease of administration Daily or twice daily dosing Excellent oral absorption Excellent tissue penetration Prolonged half-lives Significant entry into phagocytic cells Efficacy Overall safety We tried to create as much matter for your understanding when writing on Chronic Bronchitis. We do hope that the matter provided here is sufficient to you.

The newer fluoroquinolones have a wider clinical use and a broader spectrum of antibacterial activity including gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Some of the newer fluoroquinolones have an important role in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia and intra-abdominal infections.

[size=4][b]Cold Bronchitis - Factors or Conditions that Impersonate Asthma[/b][/size][hr]Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory tract and is mainly caused by constriction of the air passages due to several reasons. There are quite a few conditions that manifest with symptoms similar to that of asthma. This makes these diseases as well as asthma both very difficult to diagnose. Some conditions that impersonate the symptoms of asthma relatively closely are described here to facilitate ease of detection and treatment.

[list][*]Foreign body aspiration is found in toddlers mainly who tend to put everything in their mouths.[*]These foreign bodies may then get sucked into the bronchial tubes and get lodged in the trachea.[*]These may be tricky to detect as many foreign bodies do not get reflected on the X-ray and the symptoms are very similar to asthma.[*]The doctors sometimes have to manually check and remove the foreign body with the help of a bronchoscope.[*]Other conditions impersonating asthma may be malignant tumors of the chest like lymphosarcoma and Hodgkin's disease.[*]Also swelling of the wall of aorta known as aneurysm may cause symptoms of asthma.[*]Sometimes inhalation of inorganic and organic substances also causes symptoms of severe asthma.[/list]

Other cases it is seen that a patient develops intrinsic asthma after suffering with chronic bronchitis at some very early stages in life. Intrinsic asthma may develop much later and also without any apparent history of allergens or any genetic indications. So many times because of the close relativity of all these diseases it becomes very difficult to chart out the primary cause leading to other complications. Closeness in symptoms also presents a very tricky situation. So after reading what we have mentioned here on Bronchitis Emphysema, it is up to you to provide your verdict as to what exactly it is that you find fascinating here. Smile

[size=large][b]Hysterical Emphysema: this is a Disease that is Mostly Psycho-Somatic in Nature[/b][/size][hr]It is generally found in young girls and also in some hyper sensitive older women. In this symptoms are that of heavy breathing but do not show any difficulty in breathing. There is no perspiration and apparently there is no wheezing too. Bu the patient still feels very heavy breathing. The attack usually manifests after an emotionally charged bout that may include uncanny anger.

Quote:Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema: Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are diseases that are very closely related to asthma. It is generally seen that the patients of slightly older ages start with asthma and later on if untreated develop symptoms of chronic bronchitis, which may eventually lead to symptoms of emphysema. Writing on Chronic Bronchitis proved to be a gamble to us. This is because there simply seemed to be nothing to write about in the beginning of writing. It was only in the process of writing did we get more and more to write on Chronic Bronchitis.

Cardiac Asthma: In this situation the symptoms of breathlessness are similar to those of bronchial asthma but they are caused mainly because of a heart disease. These symptoms happen generally during sleep or after exertion. The attacks are very similar to those of asthma accompanied by suffocation and tightening of chest muscles. They may even create pain in the chest region. The patient gasps for breath and is very restless. He may sweat profusely and has terrible difficulty in inhalation and exhalation. This may also be accompanied by a sharp rise in blood pressure and may trigger off terrifying fear of death in patients. The attacks may last for about few minutes to few hours. After the attack the patients feel terribly exhausted even for several days. There are many varieties of Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema found today. However, we have stuck to the description of only one variety to prevent confusion!

The asthma may be due to allergens of any kind, which are difficult to detect as it is, and the system thus provoked may lead to more severe disorders. Sometimes the whole cycle may go in a different direction altogether and the patients develop asthma after a prolonged bout of chronic bronchitis. Thus, whichever route the diseases take it becomes complicated to chalk out the path where one may lead to another and symptoms may be very closely entangled.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a serious disorder which may produce chronic intestinal and pulmonary problems. The symptoms here are those of severe asthma. The disease may start with recurrent infections and pneumonia. The infants who are underweight and prematurely born generally show the symptoms of CF. the chest X-rays of such children show severe scarring of the lungs due to recurring bouts of pneumonia. CF is best detected with the help of a sweat test because the patients secrete excessive amounts of sodium and chloride salts in their sweat.

[list][*]Contrast to bronchial asthma, cardiac asthma is caused by failure of the pumping action of the left ventricle of the human heart.[*]It is generally a condition that is suspected in people with a history of hyper tension and heart diseases in the family.[*]It is also to be generally ruled out before proceeding for further treatments if the patient happens to be above the age of forty years.[*]Looking for something logical on Chronic Bronchitis, we stumbled on the information provided here.[*]Look out for anything illogical here.[/list]

Viral Bronchiolitis, Foreign Body Aspiration and Cystic Fibrosis: These three conditions are generally found in children and have symptoms closely mimicking those of asthma. Viral Bronchiolitis is a condition caused by a potent virus called the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). This virus causes wheezing and fever and the symptoms do not respond to anti-wheezing treatments. There is a vast ocean of knowledge connected with Bronchial Asthma. What is included here can be considered a fraction of this knowledge!

Antibiotic overuse (especially for the common cold) has led to antibiotic resistance. Natural antibiotics and anti viral herbs that may boost immune system are discussed, plus the types of cold and flu, and cough and cold in a weak immune system.

[size=large][b]15 Anti-Viral Chinese Herbs Proven Effective in Human Studies[/b][/size][hr]Andrographis (Chuan xin lian): Viral hepatitis, encephalitis B, herpes zoster, viral influenza Astragalus (Huang qi): Restores immune function in immune suppression from chemotherapy, increases IgA, IgG, and interferon production Deer antler (Lu rong): Promotes lymphocyte transformation and treats leukopenia due to chronic benzene poisoning, promotes bone marrow function Ganoderma (Ling zhi): Treats hepatitis, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, altitude sickness, cancer (especially leukemia) Ginseng Ren shen: Increases resistance by stimulating adrenal gland via pituitary Isatis (Da qing ye, Ban lan gen): Encephalitis B, measles, mumps, infectious hepatitis, URTI Licorice (Gan cao): In pulmonary TB, it increased ESR - arthritis and hepatomegaly from hepatitis - acute and chronic hepatitis Lonicera (Jin yin hua): Severe acute pneumonia, bacillary dysntery Oldenlandia (Bai hua she she cao): Peritonitis, UTI, hepatitis, chronic bronchitis Phellodendron (Huang bai): Meningitis, dysentery, GI infection, conjunctivitis, UTI, candidal/trichomonal vaginitis Polygonum (He shou wu): Malaria Polygonum cuspidatum (Hu zhang): Lung infections, tonsillitis, hepatitis, RA, osteoarthritis Salvia (Dan shen): Hepatitis, SLE Siberian ginseng (Wu jia pi): Xue and qi xu - improves leukocyte count in 70% of leukopenic patients - caution when there is heat Sophora (Shan dou gen): Alkaloids effective in countering leukopenia due to radiation Viola (Zi hua di ding): TB Isn't it wonderful that we can now access information about anything, including Bronchitis form the Internet without the hassle of going through books and magazines for matter!

[list][*]Fever is thought to be the 'heat of battle' between pathogenic and righteous qi.[*]In OM, you have a fever if you feel hot, even if your thermometer shows a normal body temperature.[*]Chills are a sign that the pathogen is winning, while fever is a sign that your body is winning. :o[/list]

[i]Types of Colds and Flu in Oriental Medicine Wind-Cold * Symptoms: Feeling of cold, chills more than fever, cough, congestion, fatigue * Herb Formulas: if no sweating - Ephedra Formula; if more body aches - Kudzu Tincture * Kitchen Medicine: Fresh ginger or garlic tea (warming)[/i]

[size=large][b]Oriental Medicine Concepts of Immunity[/b][/size][hr]Wei (pronounced 'way') qi ('chee') is the protective qi. This qi is thought to circulate in the more superficial levels (skin and muscles). In biomedical terms, it is probably not the entire immune system, but the part of it that deals with external invasions. Protective qi is controlled by Lung organ-system, and can be compromised by overwork, grief, smoking, not eating, and talking too much.

[size=large][b]Sweating (or 'Exterior-Releasing') is a Major Therapy in OM[/b][/size][hr]The type of invasion may be identified by whether or not the patient is sweating, and whether or not that sweating is leading to improvement in your health The more you read about Chronic Bronchitis, the more you get to understand the meaning of it. So if you read this article and other related articles, you are sure to get the required amount of matter for yourself.

[list][*]Tiredness, Qi deficiency, & Weakness The fight may take so much of your energy that you can do nothing but lay in bed.[*]You may also lose your appetite, which is a sign of qi deficiency in OM.[*]Some people are more constitutionally weaker from birth, especially those with childhood asthma and allergies.[*]These are often metal or water type people.[*]They need to be especially vigilant in prevention.[/list]

Most people don't realize that western biomedical understanding didn't include the immune system until very recently. The first vaccine was developed in the late 1800's, and most of the immune system was not understood until the 1960's. Oriental Medicine has been diagnosing and treating immune system diseases with herbs since as early as 150 A.D. when the first systematic book on externally contracted illnesses, the "Cold Damage Classic" was written. When doing an assignment on Chronic Bronchitis, it is always better to look up and use matter like the one given here. Your assignment turns out to be more interesting and colorful this way.

Superbacteria Medical professionals are now concerned about antibiotic-resistant 'superbacteria.' These superbacteria have evolved because of inappropriate medical prescriptions. Antibiotics are effective only against bacteria, not against viruses. MD's and DO's often prescribed antibiotics to pacify patients who refused to leave the doctor's office without them - even when the doctor knew the antibiotic would not help. The problem is that we are running out of antibiotic drugs; there is a finite number of them. It is thought that, in the future, the more complex treatment agents such as natural herbs may be our only defense.

[b]Vulnerability occurs particularly when you are tired, or from excessive environmental influences like cold, heat, dryness, and dampness- each of these is associated with a season when that pathogen is more prevalent Wink[/b]

[size=large][b]Entrance of the Pathogen[/b][/size][hr]The Lung (a system of correspondences including the lung, throat, nose, and skin) is the most exterior and most vulnerable organ. Sweating opens the pores, and 'wind' enters through pores. Wind can be thought of as the pathogen itself, since another quality (cold, damp, or heat, for example) is usually attached to describe the pathogen. Wind-heat, then, is the invasion of the body by a heat pathogen. Learning about things is what we are living here for now. So try to get to know as much about everything, including Chronic Bronchitis whenever possible.

These OM disease theories are not without controversy; some biomedical research has concluded that cold temperatures, for example, do not contribute to getting sick. However, since biomedicine only became aware of the immune system in the 1960's, and OM has been treating colds and flu's for thousands of years, I would slightly favor the application of OM. It is true that OM's theories may be inexact at the same time that the treatments is applies according to those theories are effective. In another thousand years, once biomedical researchers and OM practitioners have tested and sifted through OM theories and treatments, we will have a stronger, more accurate, and integrated medical system. This article will help you since it is a comprehensive study on Bronchitis.

Wind-Heat * Symptoms: Feeling of heat, fever more than chills, sore throat or cough, body aches, red eyes, irritability * Herb Formulas: More sore throat - Honeysuckle & Forsythia Formula; More cough - Mulberry & Chrysanthemum Formula * Kitchen Medicine: Mint or chysanthemum tea (cooling) People always think that they know everything about everything; however, it should be known that no one is perfect in everything. There is never a limit to learning; even learning about Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]There are Many Times of the Year When Bronchial Infections Seem to Increase[/b][/size][hr]While not a researcher or medical professional, I have noticed that cold and rainy weather along with the changes in seasons, my kids seem to have more than their share of colds and flu like symptoms.

[list][*]Bronchial cough can quickly be identified by a tight feeling in a person's chest and usually wheezing.[*]The person with bronchitis may also not be able to breathe deeply and breathing may be difficult or painful. Wink[*]Wheezing often sounds as if there's an air leak characterized as a whistling noise in the chest that occurs when breathing.[*]This is due to the obstructions and constrictions of the bronchial tubes due to infection.[*]The title of this composition could be rightly be Symptoms Bronchitis.[*]This is because what is mentioned here is mostly about Symptoms Bronchitis.[*]Bronchitis, like many illnesses is broken down as either acute or short term, and chronic which is much longer.[*]A major sign of an upper respiratory tract infection is a persistent cough.[*]In an attempt to remove yellow or green mucus.[*]When infection hits, the pulmonary tract, it's not unusual for a body to generate huge amounts of mucus.[*]One symptom of bronchitis is an ongoing and persistent bronchial cough.[*]We hope you develop a better understanding of Asthma Bronchitis on completion of this article on Asthma Bronchitis.[*]Only if the article is understood is it's benefit reached.[*]Hard coughing can lead to ruptures or pulled muscles that then make it painful to cough.[*]Anyone with an illness like a respiratory tract infection also needs the rest in a medical doctor can help with both.[*]Until you're able to get in to see the doctor however, have the person with bronchitis resting in a more upright position.[*]This sometimes can help control the coughing.[*]Hot tea with honey has also been known as a home remedy for a cough.[/list]
