3. Eucalyptus oil
Most people recognize eucalyptus from its robust and distinctive aroma that reminds you of a sterile hospital environment. Eucalyptus is an effective bronchial relaxant, helping to open up your airways and mobilize mucus.
Eucalyptus contains bactericides, polyphenol compounds that kill bacteria. The bactericides directly attack the bacteria causing your bronchitis, destroying it faster than most other natural treatments. The essential oil of the leaves contains natural antibiotics and expectorants. You can use eucalyptus in a variety of different applications. We recommend you try the following.
Steaming – Boil some water and add it to a bowl. Toss in a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the water and cover your head with a towel. Lean over the water and breathe deeply to absorb the bactericides.
In the shower – Blend eucalyptus oil with a little water in a spray bottle. After showering, mist the steamy air with the spray and breathe in the potent healing compounds.
Massage oil – Blend a few drops of eucalyptus with coconut oil and use it as a topical ointment. Rub it into your chest and neck.
