Herbs for Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the medium sized airways in your lungs. It can last for weeks, and often has symptoms of a bad cough, lots of phlegm coming up from the lungs, and shortness of breath and wheezing. The phlegm is often caused by the airway inflammation, and it can also be the cause of breathing problems. So, most herbs used to treat bronchitis are used purposely for their ability to help the body force the phlegm out. Some antibiotic herbs are used as well, because sometimes bronchitis can occur with an infection. [More]
