An allergy is a hypersensitive response of the body to allergens. Allergens can be of plant origins, such as pollen; animal origin, such as dander (scales shed from the skin, hair, or fur of animals); insect origin, such as the stings of bees and wasps; or dust mites themselves. Dust, smog, smoke, or some strong odors may also trigger allergies. Conventional treatment for allergies includes antihistamines and low-dose steroids. These allergy medications give you immediate relief from symptoms of allergy but do not cure allergies. Homeopathic remedies for allergies include AB factor and OM 28 Immune system. These allergy remedies boost your immune system and prevent your body from reacting to the slightest stimuli. A combination of resonance homeopathic remedies and ayurvedic herbs when used along with the below-mentioned diet gives you excellent results.

Bronchitis refers to an inflammation of the air passages within your lungs.

The first sign of bronchitis is a cough which is a reflexive action that works to clear secretions from the lungs.
Bronchitis can affect both children and adults. It can be acute or chronic.
Acute bronchitis causes fever and cough which usually resolve within a few days. Chronic bronchitis may persist for many months and can be quite debilitating.
Bronchitis is usually caused due to an infection; however, chronic bronchitis is commonly seen in smokers and people exposed to smoke.
On average, symptoms last for 3 weeks with or without antibiotics.

What needs attention is the cough. The lungs have to be clear of the phlegm which can lead to asthma or pneumonia.

Antibiotics are not of much help according to various studies conducted.

Herbal products are traditionally believed to provide a lot of relief in the acute and chronic stages of the condition. The natural herbs are believed to have mucolytic properties which liquefy the phlegm and it is easily expelled.

It is always better to adopt a holistic approach to curing bronchitis to get faster and long-lasting results.

Home remedy for Bronchitis

Take steps to reduce your exposure to toxins. Avoid smoking and breathing in secondhand smoke, stay indoors as much as possible during periods of high air pollution, and wear the appropriate face mask and protection if you work with chemicals or other irritants.

Use a humidifier or vaporizer to add moisture to the air. This will help loosen secretions and help you breathe easier.
Place a hot water bottle or a warm, moist cloth on your chest and back. This will reduce inflammation and is particularly useful at night, when you want to sleep.

Cover your nose and mouth with a scarf if you must go out into cold air. The cold can further aggravate bronchitis.
Avoid using a cough suppressant, except at night. You need to cough in order to bring up secretions.
Take medications as directed. If you are taking antibiotics for a bacterial infection, take the entire dose, even if you start to feel better before it is completed.

Use aerosols and inhalers as directed. Do not use a larger dose than directed and do not use more frequently than directed. This can cause side effects.

Talk to a naturopathic doctor or general practitioner about dietary supplements such as goldenseal, echinacea, colloidal silver, zinc, coenzyme Q10, and vitamins A and C.
