Allergic Bronchitis -Ayurvedic Treatment for Allergic Bronchitis

Allergic Bronchitis

Whenever you breathe, air enters the nose and mouth. It flows down your throat and travels down the airway called the bronchial tube. When these bronchial tubes become inflamed, the condition is called bronchitis. Allergic bronchitis is a chronic type of bronchitis. Getting proper treatment on time becomes important and our lifestyle also needs to be changed to reduce excessive exposure to allergy triggers. Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine that manages allergic bronchitis, including herbs, diet and lifestyle changes.

Introduction

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to the lungs. It is of two types of acute and chronic bronchitis. Bronchitis can be caused by bacteria or viruses or allergies. Allergic bronchitis is a chronic type of bronchitis and can be caused by exposure to triggers of allergies such as pollution, or dust, tobacco smoke. It can last for several weeks or months. Chronic bronchitis is a part of emphysema as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Allergic Bronchitis Causes

Cigarette, tobacco smoking is the most common cause of chronic/allergic bronchitis. Smoke is full of dangerous chemicals and when inhaled, it irritates the lining of airways and produces excess mucus to lungs. Viral or bacterial infections also cause bronchitis. Other causes of Allergic bronchitis include air pollution, pollen, dust, etc.
