chronic sputam in chest

The condition of Mr.Rama Kaushik is that of chronic ;if left like that it would lead to infection and even severe discomfort and debility. Dr.Nath has given very good guideline in 2 posts'in the first what to do now, in the second how to prevent this from repeating. After these 2 the Pranayama etc can be followed on a regular basis. To be frank with you all, I used to be allergic to house mite,road dust, pollen during seasons and hay fever.It will start of day one with sneezing and forced to take anti allergens. If exposure to allergens allergens is too much, then the hardening of the phlem takes place starts to get down the Respiratory syatem into the Bronchii and the lung loabs.That is when fever severe difficulty breath occurs. The stage where the Doctor has to prescribe anti biotics. I haven't got this at all these 20 months, though I continue to do house cleaning once in 3 moths. You should know why and How ?By Avoiding pollution both indoors & outdoors As Dr.Nath had adised. Most of us were wearing MASKS when we go out of the house. So I was protectd from the pollen, road dust. After the MASK wearing habit started, when ever house cleaning I wear a MASK prevntion Inddor pollution. when the the phlegm is in the process of getting solidified, medicated steam was inhaled with good results. If people want to use herbal steam inhalation, can squeez Eucalyptus leaves in hot water. Like wise, even OMAM leaves Ajwain,shown in the attachment, lime leaves, betel leaves are advised. more  

Steam inhalation helps to break the mucous collected at bases of lungs & it becomes easy to expel mucous. Plus steam sterilizes the respiratory tract. Warm water and a spoon of honey helps because honey is antiseptic & moisturizer & has lesser calories compared with white sugar. more  

Get Tested for COPD-spirometry for lung function is like echocardiography for heart function. Get treated afterwards through any pathy.. Avoid pollution both indoors & outdoors. more  

I think dates could help detox lungs. Soak 2 to 3 dates every night. In the morning eat them first on an empty stomach.Then, have a glass of warm water on it. All the cough should come out in a few days. Now that winter is approaching, this would help. more
