[size=4][b]Bronchitis - Using Herbs[/b][/size][hr]This article is offered for free use in your ezine or on your web site, so long as the author resource box at the end is included, with hyperlinks. Notification of publication would be appreciated.

[size=large][b]The Role of Herbs in Our Lives is Endless[/b][/size][hr]From cooking to beauty and health. Following are some common herbs and their medicinal qualities. You can make some up in teas, mix them together to find your own personal blend or simply use a teabag. The completion of this article on Bronchitis was our prerogative since the past one month. However, we completed it within a matter of fifteen days!

Quote:[list][*]Peppermint is another great one we are all familiar with.[*]There is a reason for those after dinner mints![*]It helps to ease the digestion and relieve after dinner indigestion.[/list]

[list][*]Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale): Best known for its use as a liver tonic, making it ideal for a variety of digestive complaints and skin problems.[*]A complimentary herb for all liver cleansing diets and de-toxifying. Big Grin[/list]

[size=large][b]Making an Herbal Infusion (Tea) is Simple; Even in You Don't Have Teabags[/b][/size][hr]To make herbal infusions or teas, place the desired amount of dried herb (usually 1-2 teaspoons) in a warmed teapot and cover with boiling water. Allow the tea to infuse for about 10 minutes. A tea infuser can be used in place of a teapot or bag, to make just a cup, or for the convenience of taking it with you when you are out. You may like to mix your herbs to make your own special brew. This can be considered to be a valuable article on Bronchitis. It is because there is so much to learn about Bronchitis here.

[list][*]Chamomile (Matricaria recutita): Well known for it's calming effects, it can be used to ease insomnia and anxiety.[*]Also a calmative for digestive complaints.[/list]

[size=large][b]Herbal Teas are Really Popular[/b][/size][hr]Whether you drink them just for the taste or for medicinal purposes, there is one or a combination of herbs that will suit everyone. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Bronchitis. Such is the amount of matter found on Bronchitis.

[list][*]Garlic boosts our immune system, helps to keep the arteries clear and is good for any heart condition.[*]Ginger warms us, by improving the circulation, eases nausea and is great for those suffering with arthritic aches and pains.[*]The sources used for the information for this article on Bronchitis are all dependable ones.[*]This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article. :o[/list]

[size=large][b]An Herb May Look a Certain Way; Have a Certain Colour or Taste[/b][/size][hr]This leads to the knowledge of what the herb can be used for. For example, ginseng can look like a man, it is found to be an all over tonic for men. Pennywort looks like an ear, and is excellent for soothing ear aches. Herbs with a yellow colouring, eg Dandelion, are perfect for the liver, as are bitter tasting herbs. It was with great relief we ended writing on Bronchitis Dry. There was just too much information to write, that we were starting to lose hopes on it's completion!

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) For anxiety and nervous states, great for mild cases of insomnia, especially for those who wake during the night and can't get back to sleep. Great for children or adults. Useful for indigestion and diarrhoea that is anxiety or nerve related. Mild nerve pain such as neuralgia or sciatica may be relieved. We have also translated parts of this composition into French and Spanish to facilitate easier understanding of Bronchitis. In this way, more people will get to understand the composition.

[size=large][b]Using Herbs[/b][/size][hr]From the earliest of times, herbs have been used as medicines, flavourings, colourings. Herbal medicine has developed by intuition and experimentation. Following the doctrine of signatures, wise medicine women and men over the centuries, have been able to develop the knowledge we now have which allows us to use herbs safely. The doctrine of signatures is simple and is helped along with intuition. The information available on Bronchitis Dry is infinite. There just seems to be so much to learn about, and to write about on Bronchitis Dry.

An herbal infusion can also be used externally, allow them to cool before using. Herbs such as Sage, Thyme and Calendula are great for using on wounds to clean out any germs. We use sage and/or thyme with great success on our cat after he's been in a fight. This stops the infection that often leads to abscesses in cats. Eyebright is great to use on tired sore and/or itchy eyes. Herbs such as Rosemary, chamomile and sage can be used in the hair. Rosemary is used to fight dandruff and Chamomile and Sage can add shine, chamomile to lighten fair hair and sage for dark hair.

[size=large][b]Herbs can be Used in a Variety of Ways[/b][/size][hr]We use them just for the enjoyment of their taste in cooking and in herbal teas. It is interesting to note that the herbs we use in cooking, generally, have a role in helping digestion. Herbs such as basil, oregano and thyme can all ease the digestive process. Garlic and ginger, used often in our cooking are very beneficial to our health. Both these herbs have many different medicinal qualities about them. It was with keen interest that we got about to writing on Bronchitis. Hope you read and appreciate it with equal interest.

[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.[*]We needed lots of concentration while writing on Bronchial Cough as the matter we had collected was very specific and important.[/list]

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. The magnitude of information available on Bronchial Infection can be found out by reading the following matter on Bronchial Infection. We ourselves were surprised at the amount! Big Grin.

[list][*]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.[*]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 absolute best cure for bronchitis and a chesty cough is to make an appointment with your doctor.[*]There are medications available that can provide relief not only for the cough, but also the infection.[*]This is especially important if the coughing is keeping the person from sleeping or is more violent than normal.[*]Writing this composition on Persistent Cough was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature.[*]Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.[/list]

One of the manifestations of chronic bronchitis is a productive cough accompanied by phlegm, which obstructs the free flow of air in the bronchial tubes. Chronic bronchitis is a long-term disorder that can last as long as two years. It is the fourth largest killer in the United States of America, and around ten million people fall victim to this disorder every year. About 40,000 deaths due to chronic bronchitis have been recorded annually. It is considered to be the most common chronic obstructive pulmonary illnesses (CODP).

[size=large][b]Methods of Managing Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Two methods of managing chronic bronchitis are in vogue at present--inhalation of ipratropium bromide and treatment through sympathomimetic agents. Theophyllinne is also an important therapy, but its uses are limited to a certain cases of the disorder. Patients who exhibit a remarkable improvement in airflow are not given any steroids. Antibiotics have a crucial part to play in the battle against acute infections. Supplemental oxygen is given to those patients who experience difficulties in breathing. Patients are also strongly advised to quit smoking for good, take plenty of nutritional supplements and fluids, and perform exercises to strengthen their respiratory muscles. We needed lots of concentration while writing on Bronchitis Respiratory as the matter we had collected was very specific and important.

Airway biopsies can reveal submucosal and mucosal inflammation, hyperplasia of goblet cells, and abnormal smoothness of the muscles on the small noncartilaginous air passage. The magnitude of information available on Chronic Bronchitis can be found out by reading the following matter on Chronic Bronchitis. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

[list][*]Studies reveal that more than 90 percent of the people who contract chronic bronchitis comprise smokers.[*]About 15 percent of the cigarette smokers are ultimately diagnosed with respiratory disorders charaterized by obstruction of the airways.[*]Biopsies of bronchial samples of people who have quit smoking thirteen years ago still reveal persistent marks of bronchial inflammation.[/list]

[size=large][b]Tests to Determine Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]A series of tests are necessary to determine a variety of factors. Needless to say, testing is also essential to make a correct diagnosis of the condition. The results of tests also confirm the extent to which the air passages are obstructed. Some of the tests include pulmonary function testing, blood tests, chest radiograph, electrocardiogram, biopsies, and sputum cultures.

Tests conducted on patients suffering from chronic bronchitis reveal yet another disturbing factor--the presence of three varieties of bacteria: Moxarella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Writing this composition on Chronic Bronchitis Respiratory Failure was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature. Make this contribution worthwhile by using it.

[list][*]Sample of arterial blood is taken in order to do a blood test, which can determine conditions such as mild polychthemia.[*]Chest radiographs reveal conditions such as blebs, diaphragmatic flattening, peribronchial markings, hyperinflation, and bullae.[*]However, the test results cannot be taken as final proof of the existence of chronic bronchitis.[*]Maintaining the value of Chronic Bronchitis Respiratory Failure was the main reason for writing this article.[*]Only in this way will the future know more about Chronic Bronchitis Respiratory Failure.[/list]

[size=large][b]Causes of Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Certain lifestyle habits such as cigarette smoking is mainly responsible for chronic bronchitis. People who live in highly polluted atmospheres also fall prey to this disorder. The above-mentioned factors weaken the lungs and the body's immune system to such as extent that the person is easily infected by bacteria and viruses that attack the respiratory system.

[list][*]The ratio between the measured forced expiratory volume (FEVI) and the forced vital capacity (FVC) defines the severity of chronic bronchitis.[*]One of the signs of severe and long-term chronic bronchitis is progressive decline of FEVI rates.[*]Factors such as age affect the elasticity of the lungs due to which the pulmonary testing of most adults over middle age show a 30ml decline in FEVI.[*]In addition, the blocking of the bronchi due to an increase in the production of sputum does not always indicate chronic bronchitis.[*]Pulmonary testing documents the reversible characteristics of air passage obstruction, and this helps physicians properly diagnose this disorder.[*]Give yourself a momentary pause while reading what there is to read here on Bronchitis Respiratory.[*]Use this pause to reflect on what you have so far written on Bronchitis Respiratory.[/list]

Electrocardiograms pinpoint distrubances, such as arterial fibrillation or flutter and atrial tachycardia having "P" pulmonale, in the supraventricular rhythm. The information available on Chronic Bronchitis is infinite. There just seems to be so much to learn about, and to write about on Chronic Bronchitis. :o.

Sputum culture is done in case of patients who have not been hopitalized but display acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. It is one of the methods used to determine the requirement for antibiotic therapy. Protected-tip sputum cultures are done in case of patients who are in hospitals especially if atypical organisms are suspected to cause the excarberation.

Question 
[size=4][b]Bronchitis Symptoms - Symptoms of Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Bronchitis is a disease that occurs on the respiratory system wherein inflammation is experienced by the mucous membrane of the bronchial passages of the lungs. This irritation could cause thickness and swelling thus narrowing the tiny airways that can be found in the lungs. As a result, spells of coughing will be experienced by the patient accompanied by breathlessness and thick phlegm, which are also considered as among the symptoms of bronchitis.

One of main symptoms of bronchitis, as mentioned earlier, is a cough that is accompanied with green or yellowish-gray sputum or mucus. Although the presence of mucus is not unusual as it is normal for one's airways to secrete mucus every day, this doesn't usually accumulate. This is because these secretions are cleared continuously in one's throat and are just swallowed along with the saliva. However, when the bronchial tubes or the lung's main passageways for air get inflamed, large quantities of discolored mucus are usually produced and these are coughed up during coughing spells. If after three months, this symptom is still being experienced by a patient, then he or she already has a case of chronic bronchitis. Secondary infection is always looked into if there is mucus present that is not clear or is not white in color. Reading all this about Bronchitis Symptoms is sure to help you get a better understanding of Bronchitis Symptoms. So make full use of the information we have provided here.

There are actually two types of bronchitis and these are the acute bronchitis, which could last not more than 6 weeks and the chronic bronchitis, which reoccurs quite often in the span of two years or more. Aside from this, there is also another form of this respiratory disease, which is known as the asthmatic bronchitis that happens to people who already have asthma. Big Grin.

Quote:There are also other symptoms of bronchitis that could accompany the coughing bouts and mucus. This is because it is common for acute bronchitis to be accompanied by the usual signs that are usually apparent in an infection on the upper respiratory tract. These include sore throat, chills and slight fever, breathlessness, soreness and a constricting burning feeling in the chest, wheezing, chest congestion, overall malaise and fullness of the sinus cavities.

[size=large][b]However, the Symptoms of Bronchitis are Really Quite Deceptive in Nature[/b][/size][hr]This is because there are cases of bronchitis wherein the presence of mucus is not there. This is especially hard in children, who oftentimes get to swallow the mucus that they coughed up, thus masking the presence of a possible secondary infection. There are even many smokers who have does the throat-clearing habit during mornings, immediately after they get out of bed. While they might think that this is just normal, it could actually be a symptom of bronchitis. If this clearing of throat goes on even after three months have already passed, then this could already be chronic bronchitis. We did not write too elaborate an article on Asthmatic Bronchitis as it would be then difficult for the common man to read it. We have written this article in such a way that everyone will be able to read and understand it!
