A simple reflex mechanism, such as a cough which is meant to clear the air passages, can turn into a troublesome disease like bronchitis if left unheeded.

Bronchitis is a respiratory disorder in which the tubes that carry air to the lungs are inflamed and irritated. This causes the inner lining of these tubes to swell and produce mucus, leading to a cough.

Bronchitis can be acute or chronic in nature, depending on the duration of the illness. Acute bronchitis mostly develops from cold or other respiratory infections, whereas chronic bronchitis results from a more constant irritation of the bronchial tubes, often caused by smoking. Homeopathy can significantly help sufferers of both kinds of bronchitis and can provide gentle and safe treatment.
