If you’ve ever battled bronchitis, you know how draining it can be. When your airways are clogged and inflamed, even the simplest tasks — walking, talking, breathing — can feel like a challenge.
Bronchitis often begins as a mild cold but can quickly escalate into a persistent cough caused by inflammation of the bronchial tubes. This cough may bring up thick, yellowish mucus and linger for weeks — even after the infection subsides. In severe or untreated cases, it can lead to lasting lung damage.
Conventional treatments include rest, staying hydrated, and avoiding irritants like smoke or pollution. In more stubborn cases, doctors may prescribe inhalers, steroids, or even supplemental oxygen. But whether it’s mild or chronic, bronchitis often means a long recovery and weeks of frustrating coughing.
A Gentle Homemade Relief
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 400 ml boiling water
- 2 tablespoons of honey
Instructions:
- Peel and mash the bananas using a wooden spoon or fork until smooth.
- Place the mashed bananas in a bowl or pot and pour in the boiling water.
- Let the mixture steep for 30 minutes.
- Once the liquid has cooled to room temperature, stir in the honey (this helps preserve honey’s beneficial properties).
- Store the mixture in a sealed container and take 100 ml four times per day.
- Make a fresh batch daily and repeat the process for five days.
