10 Home Remedies For Bronchitis
Home Remedy #3: Anti-Inflammatory and Probiotic Foods
Bronchitis is an inflammatory disease whose symptoms usually begin after an upper respiratory tract infection such as a common cold. And irrespective of whether the cause of the cold was a virus or bacteria, bronchitis develops when the bronchus becomes inflamed.
Including foods with anti-inflammatory properties and probiotics in your diet can boost your immune system so that it is better able to support recovery. Anti-inflammatory foods like raw fruits and vegetables are rich in micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. They also contain compounds that reduce inflammation and others that fight free radicals. Probiotic foods like yogurt, kombucha, kefir, and sauerkraut increase the numbers of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Good gut bacteria are necessary for overall health including healing from bronchitis.
