Chronic bronchitis is a long-term inflammation of the bronchi (airways in the lungs), typically caused by prolonged exposure to irritants like cigarette smoke, pollution, or occupational hazards. It’s part of the broader category of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and is characterized by symptoms like:

• Persistent cough with mucus (for at least 3 months in 2 consecutive years)
• Shortness of breath
• Chest discomfort
• Wheezing

Conventional vs. Homeopathic Approach

While conventional medicine often uses bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics to manage symptoms, homeopathy aims to treat the individual as a whole, focusing on:

• Stimulating the body’s own healing response
• Taking into account not just physical symptoms, but emotional and psychological factors too
