What Causes Chronic Bronchitis, and How Can It Be Managed Naturally? - #15274
For the past few months, I’ve been experiencing a persistent cough, shortness of breath, and mucus buildup, and my doctor mentioned the possibility of chronic bronchitis. I always thought bronchitis was temporary, but now I’m wondering—what causes chronic bronchitis, and how is it different from acute bronchitis? I read that chronic bronchitis is caused by long-term inflammation of the airways, often due to smoking, pollution, or repeated respiratory infections. But can it also develop in non-smokers due to allergies or weak lung function? What are the best ways to manage chronic bronchitis symptoms? I know that inhalers, breathing exercises, and avoiding triggers can help, but are there any natural treatments or Ayurvedic remedies that support lung health and mucus clearance? I’ve heard that Vasaka, Mulethi, and Tulsi are used in Ayurveda for respiratory conditions—do these actually help with chronic bronchitis and lung detoxification? If anyone has been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, what lifestyle changes, treatments, or natural remedies have worked for you?
