Bronchopulmonary disease, better known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD, is a disease of respiratory origin. It is a chronic inflammation of the lungs that causes permanent distension and destruction of the pulmonary alveoli. In addition, COPD causes the airways to become slowly and progressively blocked. It is a fatal disease that is caused, in 80% of cases, by smoking. However, bronchopulmonary disease can be of genetic origin, particularly in an individual deficient in alpha 1-antitrypsin. In addition, chronic asthma, pollution, smoke from wood heaters are factors that promote this disease. The treatment of this pathology consists of the elimination of toxins contained in the patient's lungs, to improve his breathing. To this end, homeopathic treatments can be effective in treating bronchopulmonary disease.
Symptoms of bronchopulmonary disease
In the initial stage of the disease, the signs of COPD are difficult to recognize. Indeed, a simple cough can be a symptom of the disease. In most cases, the chronicity of the cough can indicate bronchopulmonary disease. In addition, dyspnea or abnormal shortness of breath are also symptoms of COPD. As a result, a person who suffers from bronchopulmonary disease may be short of breath following less intensive physical exertion. Fatigue and respiratory discomfort of the patient are also signs of the disease. On the other hand, these symptoms may be accompanied by excessive mucus secretions or sputum.
Homeopathic remedies to treat bronchopulmonary disease
Carbo Vegetabilis is a recommended remedy for treating COPD. Indeed, this homeopathic medicine based on vegetable charcoal prevents coughing from causing the patient to choke. If a patient is diagnosed with bronchopulmonary disease, it is advisable to take a daily dose of 5 granules of Carbo Végétabilis 7 CH for one week. If the disease is at an advanced stage such as bronchospasm, the Carbo Vegetabilis to be taken is diluted to 15 CH or 30 CH. In addition, Natrum Sulfuricum is a homeopathic medicine of mineral origin that is also used for the treatment of bronchopulmonary disease. Therefore, it is recommended to take 5 granules of Natrum Sulfuricum 15 CH every day for ten days. On the other hand, to prevent the disease, a person can take a weekly dose of Natrum Sulfuricum at 15 CH.
When should you see a doctor?
An immediate visit to the doctor is required as soon as the first symptoms appear, especially in smokers. Indeed, if it is COPD, a cough can very quickly lead to breathing difficulties. The doctor is the only person who can diagnose and determine the stage of the disease. In addition, it is the doctor's responsibility to prescribe the treatment that the patient must follow.
