Long Term Relief from Bronchitis through Homeopathy

Homeopathic treatment for bronchitis aims to treat the symptoms of the condition by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. One of the key advantages of homeopathic treatment is its individualized approach, where remedies are tailored specifically to the unique expression of bronchitis in each person. The homeopathic approach to bronchitis focuses on treating the patient as a whole, aiming to restore balance and harmony in the body rather than merely suppressing symptoms.

A female patient of 57 years old, Patient ID: 53706, residing at Ulwe, visited Life Force Homeopathy on 9th February 2024.

The patient had complaints of bronchitis for 1 year—breathlessness on exertion, wheezing over the upper side of the chest, tightness, and a feeling of congestion, along with a continuous cough. The patient hawks voluntarily to remove the expectoration from the throat, as the throat feels quite itchy. Expectoration was greenish-yellow and sticky, and she was unable to expel it.

The complaints were worsening for a week before she visited the clinic. The patient explained her symptoms as, “She feels that she is breathing through clothes.”

Apart from these complaints, the patient had also been having sleeplessness for the last 10 years. The duration of sleep was 5–6 hours/day, and they get disturbed easily. She feels dizzy due to less sleep, usually goes to bed quite late, and wakes up in the morning at around 10 am.

Regarding the patient’s personal history, she was having normal meals but craves fish and has an aversion to vegetables. The thirst was normal, about 2 L/day, with no complaints of micturition or bowel movements. Thermally, the patient was hot.

Regarding her mental symptoms, she was quite irritable, stressed, and jealous in general.

Family history of the patient:

Father – Bronchitis, cardiomyopathy.

Mother—sleeplessness, diabetes, hypertension.

She had earlier taken a bronchodilator for one year along with some cough syrups and antibiotics.

Dr. Shah prescribed the medication based on the totality of symptoms, along with his research medicines.

Follow-ups:

During her first follow-up on 26th March 2024, the patient was better by 20–25%. The breathlessness was reduced, the itchiness was stable, and there was no wheezing. The plug sensation in the throat was improved.

During her second follow-up on 20th June 2024, the patient was better by 40%. There was no episode of breathlessness for the last 5 weeks, the cough reduced significantly, there was no wheezing, and there was no voluntary hawking.

During her third follow-up on 30th July 2024, the patient was 70% better. No breathlessness, no wheezing, no chest congestion, mild expectoration, and an on-and-off cough were present.

The last follow-up was taken on 12th September 2024—the patient is stable with no major episode.

Conclusion:

This case study illustrates the homeopathic approach to treating bronchitis by addressing both the immediate respiratory symptoms and the underlying constitutional factors of the patient. Homeopathy treats the person as a whole, emphasizing not just the physical symptoms but also emotional and mental health, thereby supporting both short-term relief and long-term wellness with Life Force Homeopathy.
