The
Respiratory System Protocols The respiratory system consists primarily of the nasal passages, sinuses, main bronchi, bronchioles and the lungs themselves. The conditions affecting the respiratory system that may benefit from the use of the herbal remedies fall into two main categories: inflammation or infective. Within this we also include allergies, since although the approach is slightly different, the end result is still one of inflammation. Thus, the common conditions seen by the practitioner of herbal medicine are asthma, sinusitis, acute and chronic bronchitis, hay fever and related allergy problems. BRONCHITIS: Bronchitis can be either a chronic or acute inflammation of the airways leading to and from the lungs which then become swollen. This is usually then further complicated by a secondary bacterial or viral infection, leading to an overproduction of thick, infected mucus which if left untreated may damage the tissues in the lungs. Pneumonia may be a complication. Factors Affecting Bronchitis: - Smoking and other forms of air pollution - Allergies or a compromised immune system - Infections of the upper respiratory tract spreading downward Symptoms and Signs of Bronchitis: - Begins with a morning cough (usually productive), becoming more persistent as the disease progresses - Sometimes pain in the upper chest made worse by the cough - Mild fever (if acute) Aims of Herbal Support Therapies: - To increase expectoration, removing excess mucus - To decrease mucus production by reducing inflammation - To enhance immune function - To kill bacteria giving the body a breathing space to continued to resolve the condition
