It must be said that bronchitis is quite complicated in treating the disease and the use of one of the herbs that are effective in this pathology often does not give the desired result. All the same, each organism is individual and its reaction to a specific herb may differ from the conventional one. And it's not about individual intolerance, but in the absence of the effect of taking a particular herb or plant.

Sometimes even plants that do not doubt the healing power of even inveterate skeptics and doctors do not help. And it's not for nothing that on the shelves of pharmacies, along with herbal mono-preparations (grass, flowers or rhizomes of herbs, spirits of medicinal plants), there are always a few boxes with herbs that are often called breastfeeding. They are called thoracic, because they are intended for the treatment of bronchopulmonary diseases, i.e. Pathologies of organs located in the thoracic region (bronchi, trachea, lungs, etc.).

Such useful fees can be purchased at any pharmacy, but you can make yourself, if there is available in the useful for the bronchitis of the grass, which we wrote above. The collection of herbs from bronchitis can include herbs with anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect. As a rule, several beneficial effects are typical of the same grass, for example, anti-inflammatory, sedative, expectorant and bactericidal.

Selecting herbs for breastfeeding should take into account from which cough he will be used, and what problems he needs to address. For example, if it is an acute bronchitis, you need to specify the nature of the cough, which varies depending on the stage of the disease. The disease begins with a dry, exhausting cough, when irritation of the bronchi with bacteria or viruses is already there, but mucus is not sufficiently developed to excite irritants. In this case, the collection of herbs in acute bronchitis should contain components with anti-inflammatory, mucolytic and expectorant effect.

For example, such a composition as horsetail, plantain and mother-and-stepmother (we take all the herbs in equal parts) has 3 components with expectorant and anti-inflammatory action, and plantain and mother-and-stepmother are also mucolytics, i.e. Dilute sputum and increase its volume. This compound works well for dry cough. For 1.5 cups of boiling water take only 1.5 tablespoons. Collecting, insisting it for half an hour, the medicine is filtered and taken hot three times a day. Single dose - ½ cup.

Or here is another collection that will prove useful for a dry cough. It can also be used in unproductive moist cough in the second stage of acute bronchitis, if an excessively viscous secret accumulates in the bronchi. The composition of the collection: 1 tbsp. Herb tea, 2 tbsp. Herbs and flowers of mother-and-stepmother, 2 tbsp. Dry altai root. For 0.5 liters of boiling water, take 1 tsp. Collection, boil for 5 minutes on low heat and insist for at least 30 minutes. Such a broth should be taken at ½ cup before eating. Multiplicity of admission - 5 times a day.

A good expectorant action also has such a collection: the root of the althaea (20 g), oregano (10 g), mother-and-stepmother (5 g). At 2 tbsp. Boiling water take 2 tablespoons. Collection of herbs, insist in the heat for at least two hours, then filter and drink half a glass 4 times a day.

Also, for acute bronchitis, you can try to be treated with such a composition: leaves or buds of birch and oregano (1 part each), ledum, chamomile and coltsfoot (2 parts each). For 1 cup of boiling water we take 1 tbsp. Collection of herbs. The composition is boiled for 10 minutes, cover with a lid and leave to infuse for another 30 minutes. Take the decoction after half an hour after eating. A glass of broth should be drunk a day in three sets.

In order to calm a strong cough and facilitate the excretion of sputum from the bronchi, you can use such a collection: medinitsa (grass and roots), marshmallows (roots), nettle (leaves), mullein (flowers). Time for grass to be taken in equal quantities. For 2 cups of boiling water take 2 tablespoons. Mixture of herbs. It takes about 20 minutes to insist. Before use in the infusion add a little honey. Take the medicine before meals three times a day. A single dose for adults - ½ cup, for children - ¼ cup.

It will also be useful to collect herbs in obstructive bronchitis. In such herbal formulations, herbs with bronchodilating and antispasmodic action should be present. Consider examples of such fees.

Dry convulsive cough and attacks of suffocation in obstructive bronchitis can be stopped with the help of such a collection, which includes: flowers of the primrose (40 g), horsetail grass (30 g), plantain leaves (20 g) and coltsfoot (10 g). A glass of boiling water take 1 tablespoon. Collection. The composition is maintained for a quarter of an hour in a water bath and for another 45-50 minutes it is insisted at room temperature. The composition is drunk for 4-5 receptions.

And here is another collection, which is recommended for bronchial obstruction and allergic type of bronchitis: the grass of shandra, lungwort, hive, crushed aloe leaf is taken in equal amounts. For 2 cups of boiling water we take 1.5 tablespoons. Mixture of herbs, we insist composition for 10 minutes and filter. We drink the medicine 4 times a day. Single dose - ½ cup.

A collection is also suitable for the treatment of children, only in this case a single dose should not be more than ¼ cup.

Since allergic bronchitis and bronchial asthma have much in common, the same charges can be used to treat both pathologies. The main thing is that they do not contain herbs that can cause an allergic reaction, in which coughing will intensify, and bronchial obstructive syndrome is possible. In principle, the same fees are treated and obstructive bronchitis, which has some similarity of symptoms with asthma.

  • Collection № 1. In obstructive bronchitis, collections with thyme are very effective, because the plant has pronounced bronchodilating properties: eucalyptus (grass, not butter), thyme, mother-and-stepmother. We take the grass in equal proportions. At 1 tbsp. Boiling water, as usual, 1 tbsp. Mixture of herbs, we insist 15-20 minutes and drink a little instead of tea.
  • Collection number 2: Labrador tea and nettle leaves, taken in a 2: 1 ratio. 15 grams of a mixture of herbs brewed 0.5 liters of boiling water and leave to infuse for the night. After 12 hours the composition is filtered and taken 4 times a day for half a cup.
  • Collection number 3: Labrador tea (100 g), chamomile flowers (100 g), birch buds (30 g), conifers or Kuzmicheva grass (20 g). The composition includes the conifers (also ephedra two-colony), which is used in oriental medicine for asthma and bronchial obstruction as a means of enlarging the lumen of the bronchi due to the content of ephedrine and reducing the secretion of phlegm. For 2 cups of boiling water, take 2 tablespoons. Collection of herbs, we insist not less than 6 hours, after which we filter and take three times a day for ½ cup. The composition should be taken in a warm form before eating.

In chronic bronchitis during periods of exacerbation, as well as for their prevention, the following can be taken: rosemary (40 g), oregano (20 g), nettle (10 g), birch buds (10 g). For 1 liter of water, take 1 tbsp. Mixture of herbs. Boil the composition for ten minutes, after which we leave for another hour to insist. Take a decoction after meals three times a day. Single dose - 1/3 cup.

Among other things, it will be useful to stock up with a lime color, as well as young shoots and berries of currants and raspberries (raw jam, dried and frozen fruits). These reserves are very useful for various colds, including bronchitis. Mixing all these plants in equal amounts, you can get a healing mixture that has a general strengthening, immunostimulating, diaphoretic, antipyretic and expectorant action. It will help to quickly cope with a cough and other cold symptoms.

For 1 cup of boiling water take 2 tablespoons. Mix, insist the composition for an hour or more, filter and drink as a tasty vitamin tea at night. To improve the taste and effect to the drink, you can add 1 tsp. Honey.

A good antipyretic and expectorant can be considered a mixture of currants and raspberries, which will help fight bronchitis in its early stages and prevent the disease from becoming chronic.

All the above-described prescription fees can be compiled independently from pre-prepared or purchased in the pharmacy or market herbs. But the collection of herbs from bronchitis for easier expectoration of sputum can also be purchased at the pharmacy. We are talking about nursing fees, the existence of which we have already mentioned above.

In pharmacies, you can find 4 types of nursing fees, which differ in numbering, composition, action and way of preparation:

  1. the root of the althaea, the grass of the oregano, the leaves of the mother-and-stepmother (1 cup of water is taken 1 tablespoon of collection, boiled for a quarter of an hour in a water bath, then insisted for about 45-50 minutes, add boiled water to a full glass and take 2 or 3 times a day for half a cup),
  2. root of licorice, leaves of plantain and coltsfoot (the method of preparation is identical, but the frequency of reception can be increased up to 4 times a day)
  3. althea root, sage, anise, pine buds (the method of preparation is identical, but 2 tablespoons of vegetable collection are taken for 1 glass of water, the water is immediately taken hot)
  4. licorice root, violet, mint, chamomile and calendula (the method of preparation and dose are similar to the thoracic collection No. 3, but the single dose is reduced to 1/3 cup).

The first herbs of the first 3 breastfeeds have an anti-inflammatory and expectorant effect, so they are recommended for bronchitis and pneumonia. The fourth collection is additionally characterized by an antispasmodic effect, which means that it can also be used in the treatment of bronchial asthma. It will also be useful in obstructive bronchitis.

Monastic collection of bronchitis

Since we have started talking about pharmacy products containing effective herbs from bronchitis, it will be superfluous to mention the oldest recipes recognized by therapists and pulmonologists. One of such recipes is embodied in a preparation called "The Monastery Collection of Father George", which is actively distributed on the Internet. By the way, you need to order it only from the official representative, otherwise there is a great risk of getting on a fake.

The monastic collection has a long history. Yes, and the composition of the herbs of the monastery collection from bronchitis was developed not only by monks, but also by ordinary people from the North. The lack of antibiotics and other effective drugs for colds and infections forced people to look for other sources of disease control, and the most accessible of them were herbs.

The full composition of the monastery collection was developed by trial and error for many years, until it was perfected. This collection was used to treat various diseases within the walls of the monasteries of Ancient Rus. But over time, even very important things and moments are undeservedly forgotten. So it happened with the monastery collection. Fortunately, there are always people who are not indifferent, ready to restore old recipes that saved the lives of many patients.

Among such not indifferent people was the archimandrite of the Holy Spirit of Timashevsky Monastery, located on the expanses of the Krasnodar Territory, the famous herbalist Father Georgy. All components of an unusually effective herbal collection were restored to him at the end of the twentieth century and provided to the courts of the luminaries of traditional medicine.

Laboratory studies of the monastery collection, conducted after the death of the archimandrite (2013-2014), proved the ecological purity and high efficiency included in the composition of herbs in the treatment of various diseases. But the main, invisible components of the collection, Father George believed faith in healing, prayer and repentance, without which an effective fight against the disease is simply impossible.

Inveterate atheists may doubt the truth of these words, but the proof will be the effect of a "placebo". If a person believes in his recovery, his body will also believe. Faith activates the internal forces of the body, and prayer and repentance give comfort. After all, everyone knows that anxiety and nervousness do not contribute to recovery. So it's not about religious prejudices, but about physiological processes controlled by the nervous system.

It is clear that the monastery collection can not be considered a panacea for severe forms of bacterial bronchitis, especially caused by a nonspecific pathogen, but with uncomplicated viral infection it can even be used even in monotherapy, since the herbs in the collection (and there are not many of them16) have all the necessary treatment of bronchitis properties:

  • thyme - an excellent bronchodilator and expectorant with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antiviral properties (effective in viral and bacterial pathologies),
  • alternation - antiallergic, diaphoretic, anti-inflammatory agent with expectorant and facilitating breathing during bronchitis (effective for allergic and other pathologies),
  • birch buds - antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and expectorant (effective for fighting purulent types of bronchitis caused by staphylococcal infection),
  • nettle - restorative, antipyretic, expectorant, useful for any colds,
  • lime flower - antipyretic, diaphoretic, restorative, able to facilitate breathing, soften cough and improve the excretion of mucus from the bronchi,
  • sage - anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, immunostimulating agent, somewhat facilitating the excretion of sputum from the bronchi (often used in bronchitis and pneumonia),
  • chamomile - anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, detoxifying agent,
  • marsh swine - improves the blood supply of various parts of the respiratory system and metabolism in them, prevents stagnation of sputum, stimulates regeneration processes,
  • yarrow is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent used in the composition of charges for bronchitis and bronchial asthma,
  • immortelle sandy - anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anthelmintic means (helminths can complicate the course of bronchitis and other colds and promote their transition to the chronic stage),
  • immortelle pink (dried flower) - has a depressing effect on the cough center, so it is used to treat dry residual cough; has the ability to stop bleeding, so it is used for coughing with blood in sputum,
  • hips - bracing vitamin remedy, natural immunostimulant,
  • Leonurus - useful for catarrhal and other pathologies as a sedative, helping to normalize the work of the central nervous system and adjust the body to fight the disease,
  • wormwood is an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory agent that promotes the improvement of metabolic processes (used in the treatment of bronchial asthma),
  • buckthorn - antibacterial, antiviral, detoxification agent, used in cases of persistent cough, difficult to treat,
  • bearberry is an antiseptic, improving metabolism and stimulating regenerative processes in the bronchi.

Having carefully studied the composition of the collection, you get rid of the last doubts about the effectiveness of such a natural medicine for bronchitis. Moreover, abundant drinking is an important component of bronchitis therapy, as this is the way to dilute the sputum accumulating in the bronchi and facilitate its removal. And if the drink also contains medicinal herbs with a specific effect, then the cure is much faster. At the same time, the pleasant with the useful is perfectly combined.

How correctly to apply the monastery collection? There are no difficulties in this. From the collection they prepare a healing infusion, at a rate of 1 h. Of the ground vegetable mixture with 200 ml of boiling water. Yes, pre-collection from the packaging will need to be crushed.

Insist the composition of the monastery collection about half an hour, while the dishes for brewing the lid is not covered. To drink medicinal drink at a bronchitis it is necessary for an hour before meal 3 or 4 times a day on 1 item of l. Course from 1 to 3 months. But in any case, about the dosage it will be better to consult a doctor, because the monastery collection treats not only bronchitis, but also a lot of other diseases, and effective doses may be different.

The collection can be welded in reserve, because you can store the ready-made drink in the refrigerator for 2 days. But it is undesirable to heat the drink, it is better to make it with boiling water.

Contraindication to the use of the  monastery collection is considered to be intolerance of at least one of the components of the plant composition. This will be manifested by allergic reactions and symptoms of indigestion.

In order to keep the collection for a long time its medicinal value, it is necessary to store it correctly. After the bundle with the plant compound has been opened, it is recommended that the collection be poured into glass containers and a tightly fitting lid. So the composition can retain its properties for 25 months. Do not forget that the medicine is far from being a budget, so treat it more safely after storage.

Keep the jar with the collection you need in a dark, cool room, the temperature in which does not rise above the 20-degree mark.

"The monastery collection of Father George" is not cheap, on the contrary, it is quite expensive medicine. And it's not surprising. Try yourself to collect such a rich ecologically pure composition of herbs that grow in different localities and differ in the time of harvesting, dry it according to all the rules (each herb has its own features of harvesting and drying), measure the right dose of each herb in the composition. This is not at all easy, even knowing the healing recipe by heart. It is much easier to entrust this business to professionals and worthily pay for their work, knowing that the collection will be truly curative.
