Most chest infections, especially bronchitis and pneumonia, are caused by a viral infection. If you take antibiotics for a chest infection, you risk weakening the immune system and increasing inflammation and resistant bacteria. Not many drugs can combat a viral infection, so the immune system has to work to fight the virus.
There are several natural remedies that can help shorten the duration and intensity of a viral chest infection. Here are 7 of the best ones.
1. NAC: supports glutathione production and respiratory health
2. Black seed oil: has traditionally been used for immune and respiratory support
3. Andrographis: is commonly used for respiratory and immune health
4. South African geranium: has been studied for respiratory infections
5. Magnesium: supports normal respiratory and muscle function
6. Licorice root: has traditionally been used to soothe the throat and respiratory tract
7. Vitamin D3: plays an important role in immune function
Learn how these natural remedies work, when they may be most useful, and how to support your immune system and respiratory wellness during a chest infection.
