hi sir/madam,
In Ayurveda,
Bronchitis is known as Shwasa Pranali Shoth. In bronchitis, the bronchial tubes which carry air to the lungs get inflamed. This disease is more prone to
cold and damp climates. It is a serious variety of the Kasa Roga(respiratory problem).
According to ayurveda peoples will be having symptoms like these:-
1.There is sever coughing and a feeling of pain around the chest especially during the winter mornings.
2.The mucous membranes of the bronchi get inflamed and there is difficulty in expelling the phlegm.

4.Continuous coughing may turn the face of patient blue.
Shortness of breath, loss of appetite and rise in temperature may be noticed in acute stage of bronchitis.

before going for medicines i would like to give you some advice on homely remedies as follows:-
A.Haldi/Turmeric is the most common home remedy for bronchitis. A tea spoon of tumeric powder should be mixed in a glass of milk and taken two times daily. It is more effective if taken on an empty stomach.
B.The juice of vasa is also very beneficial for bronchitis. It can be taken twice or thrice daily.

E.Tulsi is also a great herb for bronchitis. Water boiled with tulsi leaves bring relief to the
sore throat. This water can also be used as a gargle.
F.Khadiradi Vati should be sucked as lozenge four to five times in a day which helps in getting relief from the congested throat.
