Reduce mucus congesting your airways: Excess mucus in the bronchial tubes often occurs as your condition progresses, which may restrict airflow to your lungs and cause shortness of breath. Of course nowadays it is used in cooking all round the world and is also used as a herbal remedy for a number of conditions. Liquorice is recognised as a tasty treat. It is part of many Eastern dishes, drinks and sweets and has been used traditionally in both Chinese and European medicine. If any of the side effects become serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed above, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.

Liquorice confectionery or medicines should be used with caution in those suffering from high blood pressure, kidney, liver or heart disease and those suffering from a low potassium level in their blood If your symptoms worsen or persist for more than one week, a doctor or qualified practitioner should be consulted If this is the case, Echinaforce in combination with Bronchoforce, may be a good option for you. Echinaforce can help to minimise the duration and severity of your symptoms, whilst also supporting your immune system. What about conventional medicines? If you struggle with a chesty or mucus cough and suspect this could be contributing to the shortness of breath, use the herbs Ivy and Thyme found in Bronchoforce to help ease your symptoms. Do not use if you are already using another product containing liquorice (eg. liquorice confectionery / sweets)Fresh spruce shoots contain a volatile oil that is rich in terpenes, an organic compound that has antiseptic, antibacterial and mucolytic properties. This last feature means it can encourage mucus to become liquid in form and therefore easier to move. However, pine shoots also promote the removal of catarrhal congestion from the lungs. Bronchosan is unique in containing pine or spruce shoots as its active ingredient. The young leaves of Picea abies (sometimes also known as the Norway Spruce and used for Christmas trees), have a long tradition of use to help relieve coughs. Ivy is naturally anti-spasmodic and can work well to help loosen any stubborn mucus, whilst thyme is gently anti-septic, helping to thin the mucus to make it easier to expel – good team work there! Interestingly, the study 1 also measured the effects of Echinacea on cough symptoms. After analysing the results of the eight studies of relevance, it was concluded that there was no significant evidence to suggest that Echinacea reduced the severity or duration of a cough... People with asthma may be more prone to allergies. These could be caused by a variety of triggers including foods, medicines as well as herbs. If this is your experience, you may wish to start off by trying a small dose of Bronchoforce (say 5 drops) to see if you are allergic to the herbs present which are Ivy, Thyme and liquorice.

The narrowing of the airways due to inflammation, together with the excess mucus that is often produced, can cause airflow to and from the lungs to become restricted, which may result in shortness of breath, particularly when psychically active. Coughs may be a sign of worsening asthma so if your cough does not improve with treatment, speak to your doctor There is no evidence that the use of Bronchosan will lead to drowsiness as it does not contain the active ingredient present in some conventional cough syrups or cough remedies which can cause sleepiness.Alfred Vogel recommended that walkers look out for fresh pine shoots and chew them when rambling. For those of us not out on the pine-covered hills however, it might be easier to find them in Bronchosan Cough Syrup. Adding a few drops of peppermint or eucalyptus essential oil to your steam tent can also help soothe your airways and can aid in breaking up any mucus.

This inflammation can also cause the membranes in the lining to start producing excess mucus, clogging the bronchi and restricting airflow to the lungs further. This can trigger coughing, the most common symptoms of bronchitis, as well as shortness of breath. Why does bronchitis cause shortness of breath? Use a vaporiser or steam inhalation: Warm, moist air can help to ease the congestion and inflammation causing shortness of breath. Inhaling moist air delivers moisture deep into the bronchial passages, where it helps to loosen mucus, making it easier to expel, as well as hydrating the bronchial tubes to help soothe irritation. A vaporiser works by heating water until it turns into hot steam. Try pursed-lip breathing: This is a common breathing technique, which can help ease shortness of breath. It works by slowing the pace of your breathing, helping you restore your normal breathing. Next, if an underlying infection is likely to be causing the chesty cough (this is particularly common in cases of acute bronchitis), this could also be contributing to additional symptoms such as a shortness of breath.

There are several measures you can take to ease shortness of breath caused by bronchitis. You should: Once these bugs have been captured, the body may try to expel mucus from the respiratory tract by coughing. This is fine if the cough is moderate and productive, but not so great if the cough doesn’t result in the expulsion of catarrh, and continues unabated for ages. It’s thought that lingering coughs can last for up to three months after a common cold which is bound to make life miserable! Tobler M, et al. Characteristics of whole fresh plant extracts. Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur GanzheitsMedizin, 1994. As an added bonus, the adverse events after the use of ivy and thyme were mild and no different to those in the placebo groups. This is often a different story when it comes to more synthetic products laden with paracetamol, caffeine or even refined sugar. So all in all, very positive results indeed!
