It is possible to make use of a bronchitis natural treatment. Since treating bronchitis is one of those ailments that can be remedied without any form of oral medication over time, steam would be the answer here. By breathing in steam from a hot shower, or a steam tub with your head over it, covered by a towel, are just a couple of ways for bronchitis natural treatment. There are other homeopathic methods too with oils and rubs. It may however take longer to get rid of the bronchitis with the bronchitis natural treatment but it will still work. It is important to remember it is the bacterium that needs to be treated with an antibiotic if you are recommended to use them, not the bronchitis itself. The use of a bronchitis natural treatment could also be in making of your own home tea brews.
If you are making your own home brew as your bronchitis natural treatment, you would need to know what ingredients to add to break down the mucous and also what can loosen mucous in your bronchial tubes.
Making Your Own Brew
If you are making a tea as your bronchitis home treatment, adding a pinch of fresh grated ginger can boost your immune system while stimulating you to cough up the mucous. Lemon juice can also break down the phlegm so it is easier to cough up and spit out. While drinking milk and liquids that cause excessive mucous build up in your throat and mouth, should be avoided at this time, but lots of liquids are essential to prevent dehydration.

Honey is also another good ingredient in your brew; it is a natural antibiotic and will also help with having to drink the gingery tea you may have made by making it sweeter. There are other ingredients that you could use but are not so often used as the everyday self help medication. If you do have a wet cough still, you could use a teaspoon of honey with a drop of eucalyptus oil on it. It may feel hot for a short while as you throat may already be raw, but be assured it will help get rid of excess mucous in the throat within two days or so.
Not only does the camphor or eucalyptus loosen the phlegm, but it will also help open the airways of your nostrils making breathing a bit easier. By rubbing your throat and your back where your lungs are situated, with camphor would also help loosen and relax muscles that would by now still be painful from all the insistent coughing.
