Naturopathic treatment of chronic bronchitis

[LittleMiss738]

I have been diagnosed with allergies and a "reactive airway" for years now. Recently I have been working with Hospice and have to go into homes of smokers. I find that since working for Hospice that I have recurrent bronchitis (severe) with fever, chills, malaysia, about every two months or so. Is there any naturopathic treatment that would help me keep from getting sick so much? I realize this topic could cover many areas of ENT issues, but any response would be appreciated.

Do you have muscle pains on the regular basis ? And any other symptoms that you are concerned about ?

Personally I take probiotics to help with my seasonnal allergies.  I had a rhinitis last year and i refused to take antibiotics. My pharmacist proposed to me that I start taking a probiotic called Bio-K+, and my rhinitis has disappeared and my allergies sypmtoms have reduced a great deal since then.

I have been on this product for almost a year and i also noticed that it helps me with my energy level.

I think you should try it. Good luck

How are you? Naturopathic medicine treats health conditions by utilizing the body's inherent ability to heal. It is not a single modality of healing but an array of healing practices including diet and clinical nutrition; homeopathy; acupuncture; herbal medicine; hydrotherapy; therapeutic exercise; spinal and soft tissue manipulation; physical therapies involving electric currents, ultrasound, and light therapy; therapeutic counseling; and pharmacology.  (http://www.healingartscenter.com/Library/articles/art07.htm)

For naturopathic physicians, understanding the patient as an individual is essential when searching for causative factors, particularly in the areas of the physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual. If you are interested in this type of healing, it is best that you visit a naturopathic physician and discuss which treatment is appropriate for you.

I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
