Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 First I'd like to say hello. My name is Christopher and I found this group while looking for information on herbal medicine. I have a question for those with a great deal of knowledge about herbs and remedies. I have chronic bronchitis and my doctor's solution for this is antibiotics which are not helping. I told him that they werent helping and he suggested that I look into some vaporizers and herbal remedies to see if that might be the way to go. Can anyone recommend anything? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, I raise exotic plants, and if it is ok in the near future I will post a list of seeds that I have available for trading. (I dont sell seeds and never accept money for them, just trade and share with likeminded folks.) Many thanks to everyone.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Welcome Christopher you'll find lots of great information here. While I am not an expert in herbal medicine, I do use several home remedies - the kind that are passed down - with a lot of success. One thing I found works well for congestion of the lungs is fennel tea. It really helps to loosen things up and makes for a more productive cough. If you add some honey to the tea it will taste a lot like black licorice. I've even used it on babies as young as 6 months (obviously without the honey and in a very weak solution). I have asthma and one I found that works really well for me is a steam "tent" with a few drops of tea tree oil in it. I do this whenever I feel my chest start to tighten up and it's kept me off of inhalers for several years. Even my doctor approves of this method. Of course, these home remedies are very much a "YMMV" type of thing - I know people that it doesn't seem to work for but at least it's a start.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hello,About bronchitis, there are several aromatherapy oils that can help, for example eucalyptus oil and thyme oil, they can be used in vaporizers. Check first with your doctor what kind of vaporizer that's best for you. One simple vaporizing method is to pour boiling water in a bowl, add a few drops of aromatherapy oils and use a towel to create a steam bath for inhalation, but this is not suitable for everyone, for example if you have asthma, so ask your doctor first if you can use this method. And before deciding to use the oils do some research, on the internet or a aromatherapy book, so that you get familiar with their use./Autumndream_within_a_dream8008 <dream_within_a_dream8008 Sent: Monday, 4 December, 2006 5:23:46 PM question from a newbie Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.
