Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, most often of viral origin.
It heals naturally in around ten days but the cough can be relieved using natural solutions, including essential oils.
Which ones to choose? We guide you.
Eucalyptus essential oil
Eucalyptus essential oil is known for its positive effects on coughs in cases of pharyngitis, bronchitis or sinusitis. It is very expectorant and therefore facilitates the clearing of the respiratory tract.
It is also found in many medications indicated to relieve stuffy noses and coughs (drops, capsules for inhalation).
To relieve your cough and/or stuffy nose, pour 12 drops of eucalyptus essential oil into a large bowl of hot water. Then inhale the water vapor for a few minutes. Do three a day.
Cinnamon essential oil
The cinnamon is a spice widely used in cooking but you should know that it also has therapeutic virtues. Cinnamon essential oil may be helpful in stopping the spread of pathogens in the respiratory tract.
In other words, it is a natural antibacterial. To relieve the symptoms of your bronchitis, use cinnamon essential oil in an air diffuser or inhale the steam of hot water into which you have previously poured a few drops of cinnamon essential oil.
Rosemary essential oil
The rosemary is a plant found all over the world. It has the power to relax the muscles of the trachea, which has the effect of calming coughs for a moment.
To relieve your cough, inhale water vapor into which you have poured a few drops of rosemary essential oil.
You can also dilute a few drops of this oil in vegetable oil. Then apply this mixture to your chest.
Thyme essential oil
Thyme is a natural antimicrobial agent effective against respiratory infections.
To benefit from all the benefits of thyme essential oil, a study recommends diffusing it in the air at high concentration for a short time.
Peppermint essential oil
The essential oil of pepper mint is widely used to decongest the nose and unclog the bronchi. It can be used in an air diffuser or in inhalation.
