Allergic Bronchitis

Allergic Bronchitis is a type of lung problem where the airways (tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs) become inflamed due to an allergic reaction. When someone with this condition breathes in things they're allergic to, like pollen or dust, it can irritate their lungs, causing coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.

Unlike infectious bronchitis caused by viruses or bacteria, allergic bronchitis occurs from an immune response to environmental triggers.

 

Types of Allergic Bronchitis

Acute Allergic Bronchitis – Short-term inflammation, usually flares up and resolves with treatment or removal of allergens.

Chronic Allergic Bronchitis – Long-term inflammation often linked to frequent or prolonged exposure to allergens; may lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over time.

 

Causes of Allergic Bronchitis

  • Pollens (from flowers, trees and grass)
  • Dust and dust mites
  • Mold spores
  • Pet dander (fur)
  • Smoke or other pollutants
  • Certain chemicals or fumes
 

Symptoms of Allergic Bronchitis

  • The symptoms of allergic bronchitis include:
  • Persistent cough, especially in the morning
  • Wheezing or whistling sound when breathing
  • Shortness of breath
  • Tightness in the chest
  • Excess mucus or phlegm production
  • Fatigue
 

Complications of Allergic Bronchitis

If untreated, allergic bronchitis can lead to complications like:

  • Chronic Bronchitis: Persistent inflammation, which can become a lifelong issue.
  • Asthma: A risk factor for asthma development, especially in children.
  • Infections: Chronic inflammation can make the bronchi more susceptible to bacterial or viral infections.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Long-term bronchial inflammation can damage lung function.
 

Ayurvedic perspective of Allergic Bronchitis

Ayurveda, allergic bronchitis is seen as an imbalance of Kapha (responsible for fluids and mucus in the body) and Vata (controls movement, like breathing). When these energies are out of balance, it can lead to mucus buildup and blocked airways.

Ayurvedic treatment recommendations

Diet: Warm, easy-to-digest foods are recommended, avoiding cold, dairy, and sugary items that increase mucus. Diet: Warm, easy-to-digest foods are recommended, avoiding cold, dairy, and sugary items that increase mucus.

Breathing Exercises: Practices like Pranayama (breathing techniques) help strengthen the lungs and improve breathing.

Detox Therapies: Ayurvedic treatments like Nasya (using oils in the nose) and Vamana (cleansing therapy) help remove excess mucus and balance the body.
