Essential Oils

Healthline

Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants that capture the plant’s scent and flavor, or their “essences”. They are obtained from the plant through distillation via steam or cold pressing, and then combined with a carrier oil and inhaled. They are not meant to be swallowed, nor should they be put directly on your skin without a carrier oil. Some essential oils that are effective against both acute and chronic bronchitis are eucalyptus, citrus (like orange, lemon, or lime), and pine needle oil. Other oils which may help ease the breathing difficulties associated with bronchitis are basil, peppermint, rosemary, tea tree, thyme, and oregano. They can be purchased at your local health foods store or holistic healing emporium. Be sure you know how to use essential oils properly though before applying them as a home remedy to bronchitis, and take care never to ingest them.
