[size=4][b]Atypical Bronchitis Symptoms - the Importance and Benefits of Steam Saunas[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Many of us have visited a sauna probably at a public facility of some type. You may have enjoyed one at a motel you stayed at, but not really realized the benefits you were receiving at the time. Steam saunas can be very good for your body. Originally, saunas came from Finland and because they were such a sterile environment, many women delivered their babies in a sauna room. The word sauna is referred to as a sweathouse or steam bath and in the Finnish background, this was a family affair. Everyone participated in this rejuvenating relaxing event. We will learn some of the benefits and importance of steam saunas in this article and you will be surprised at the outcome.

Sauna works by creating heat of some type upon rocks that are placed in the sauna. This normal type of heat would be known as dry, but if you add water to the heated rocks, you will create steam saunas. Steam saunas will still make you sweat which is one way for the body to release waste toxins that build up in the body, but the steam will also open up airways. Sweating alone will increase circulation and cause the blood vessels to open more, allowing more blood to flow throughout your body which can promote healing. With the added effect steam saunas create, you will not only increase circulation, but open up your sinuses and airways as well.

You suffer from bronchitis or have tonsil or throat problems, then more than likely steam saunas can help you. The steam that is created in the steam saunas, opens up the throat and airways that can become inflamed and closed off due to bronchitis or other type of virus infections. The steam will also open up pores found in the skin, and promote a further cleansing of the skin. You must remember that when you are in steam saunas, you shouldn't stay inside for long periods of time. The high temperatures in steam saunas can cause your heart rate to increase. It is not necessary that only the learned can write about Bronchitis. As long as one ahs a flair for writing, and an interest for gaining information on Bronchitis, anyone can write about it.

[size=large][b]Bronchitis is a Disease that can be Tenacious as a Stubborn Dog[/b][/size][hr]It is caused by a severe inflammation or the blocking of the air tubes in the lungs. Bronchitis generally occurs in two forms: acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis is the lesser condition of the two but it can still last for several weeks and may result in pneumonia if it is not taken care of right away. Chronic bronchitis, on the other hand, can eventually lead to more serious heart problems.

You can take a number of vitamins to promote healing of bronchitis as well as preventing it. Vitamin A in large doses taken daily for up to 30 days can promote faster healing of irritated mucus membranes and strengthens the whole immune system. Vitamin C taken along with it can boost your immunity also and helps build up better collagen and mucus linings in the lungs. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects your lungs from air pollution. Zinc works with vitamin A to heal lung membranes and other tissues. An herb called astragalus taken daily in small doses can also help reduce symptoms associated with chronic bronchitis.

Bronchitis can be recognized by the following symptoms: frequent and painful cough with phlegm, high fever, sore throat, chest pain, harsh sounds when breathing and chills. Acute bronchitis is the common result of an infection like the flu or an untreated cold. Chronic bronchitis is usually caused by a lung irritant like cigarette smoke, allergies, dust and all other forms of air pollution. It is the normal style of writers to add additional information with the intention of lengthening the length of an article. However, we have provided a short and concise article with only required information on Bronchitis Common.

Is a common mistake to take antihistamines, antibiotics, or decongestants for bronchitis. These drugs do not relieve inflamed windpipes and can even dry the mucus linings of the lungs. They can also make the mucus so thick that coughing can be very difficult and painful. Antibiotics don't usually help because most bronchitis is not caused by bacterial infections. Antibiotics hurt your chances of getting better by killing off friendly micro-organisms and making certain bacteria strains more antibiotic-resistant. A common herbal antidote for bronchitis is to try drinking half a cup of horehound tea three times a day. This can help to thin and release mucus that accumulates in the lungs of bronchitis patients. We were rather indecisive on where to stop in our writings of Chronic Bronchitis. We just went on writing and writing to give a long article.

[size=large][b]There are Many Things You can Do to Prevent the Onset of Bronchitis in Any Form[/b][/size][hr]The most important thing to do is to stop smoking and avoid secondhand smoke. Avoid pollution by staying indoors during smog alerts and refrain from using sprays for cleaning, insect repelling, or deodorizing. These contain a large number of potentially harmful ingredients that can weaken your lung tissues if used too often. If you are sensitive to dairy products, avoid them because they can increase mucus formation. When you notice the beginning of a cough, get plenty of rest and apply mild heat on your chest and back before going to bed. Drink at least eight to 10 glasses of clear water every day and eat foods that are high in vitamin A, C, E and zinc. Foods that are high in these nutrients including eggs, chicken, pecans, citrus fruits, sunflower seeds, broccoli, sardines and avocados. Smile

Bronchitis is an infection of the intricate network of airways both within and connecting to the lungs. Usually striking when the immune system is low, bronchitis commonly develops as a progression of an upper respiratory infection and will normally clear within a couple of weeks although chronic cases may last for months. A small percentage of bronchitis cases are bacterial in nature and will respond to antibiotic treatment however in most cases the bronchitis is caused by a virus and so antibiotics will have little effect.

[size=large][b]Liquorice Tea[/b][/size][hr]The liquorice herb is a good treatment for assisting recovery and preventing bronchitis. When treating bronchitis three cups of liquorice tea can make a big difference to the length and severity of the infection.

[size=large][b]Drink More Water[/b][/size][hr]Drinking plenty of water will loosen up the phlegm and mucus and make it much easier for the body to eliminate it when coughing. Warm clear drinks are also good but stay away from mucus producing drinks such as milk as this will only make things worse. Having a penchant for Bronchitis Caused led us to write all that there has been written on Bronchitis Caused here. Hope you too develop a penchant for Bronchitis Caused!

[size=large][b]Forego the Cough Suppressors[/b][/size][hr]It is sometimes best not to take cough suppressing medicines as the action of coughing actually helps to loosen up the phlegm and move it from the lungs. Cough suppressing medicines tend to dry the mucus which slows its elimination.

Although the bronchitis virus which causes the more common acute bronchitis infection needs to run its course, the coughing and wheezing symptoms can be eased by following a few simple guidelines such as: Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Treating Bronchitis. There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.

[size=large][b]Stop Smoking[/b][/size][hr]Smoking is directly linked to the vast majority of chronic bronchitis infections either from being a smoker or breathing passive cigarette smoke. If you smoke then the only solution for complete recovery from chronic bronchitis is to quit and if you are a non-smoker then it is wise to consciously avoid areas where others are smoking.

[size=large][b]Avoid Diuretics[/b][/size][hr]It is a good idea to avoid diuretic type drinks such as alcohol and coffee as these have the effect of lowering fluid levels within the body because they make you urinate more. To assist the body to fight the bronchitis infection you need to maintain good fluid levels to break up the mucus.

[size=large][b]Use a Vaporizer[/b][/size][hr]Using a vaporizer to deliver warm moist air into the lungs will also help to break up the mucus and assist your recovery. If you don't have access to a vaporizer then you can either run a hot shower with the bathroom door closed or perhaps place some boiled water in a pan and place your head above it and breathe the steam. There has been an uncalculatable amount of information added in this composition on Bronchitis Caused. Don't try counting it!

Bronchitis should not be taken lightly as it can progress to more serous health problems such as pneumonia if left untreated. In most cases antibiotics are not the answer so the simple measures outlined above along with plenty of rest will help to reduce the time it takes to recover from the infection and make life a little easier while you have the condition. Follow these bronchitis treatment tips and you'll be back to health in no time.
