Bronchitis is a respiratory disease in which the mucus membrane in the lungs' bronchial passages becomes inflamed.

As the irritated membrane swells and grows thicker, it narrows or shuts off the tiny airways in the lungs, resulting in coughing spells that may be accompanied by phlegm and breathlessness.

The disease comes in two forms: acute (lasting from one to three weeks) and chronic (lasting at least 3 months of the year for two years in a row).

Many Filipinos are experiencing bronchitis, asthma and other respiratory problems because of too much pollution and number of smokers in our country. These respiratory problem are genetic, which means it can be passed down from generation to generation. Although some of the symptoms can be associated with pneumonia, it doesn't mean that it is what it is.

Respiratory problems like lung cancer are mostly caused by smoking, dusts, allergens and bacteria than can infect the airways in our lungs.

Aside from treating these respiratory problems that include breathlessness or 'hard to breathe' cough problem with Nebulizers, there is a natural way of remedying these symptoms that are available in our country that is abundant and can even be planted in your backyard. They are backyard herb or plant remedies.

• Be hydrated at all times, water, is undoubtedly important.
• Breathe fresh air, stay away from pollution in order to not worsen the problem.
• Get plenty of rest, a very proven advise to help your body function well.
• Exercise, walking for example.
• Eat foods with onions, and garlic on it - They are known as natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammation spices.
