Emphysema: Impact on Your Lungs
Summary:
Emphysema, although relatively uncommon, is a leading cause of rising mortality rates. This pulmonary disease damages lung tissue due to exposure to toxic air, affecting many people worldwide. Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema can severely impact breathing by reducing lung elasticity. Unfortunately, many lose their lives to these conditions. Smoking is a primary cause, and environmental pollution and passive smoking also contribute.
Causes of Emphysema:
- Smoking
- Deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a protective protein, increases vulnerability.
Symptoms of Emphysema:
- Shortness of breath during activities like climbing stairs
- Persistent coughing
- Wheezing
- Hyperventilation
- Increased mucus production
- Blue tint on skin
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
Self-Care Tips:
- Quit smoking permanently.
- Avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Protect yourself from environmental pollution.
- Use an air purifier at home to eliminate dust and particles.
- Steer clear of allergens.
Home Remedies for Emphysema:
- Soothe Coughing: Drink teas made with garlic, fennel, and rose hips.
- Congestion Relief: Apply eucalyptus or garlic oil to your chest.
- Mucus Management: Consume comfrey and fenugreek capsules.
- Healthy Diet: Eat several small meals, chewing thoroughly. Include vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables like citrus, strawberries, peppers, and broccoli.
- Beta-Carotene Boost: Consume sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots.
- Exercise Gently: Engage in activities like swimming and cycling, which are beneficial for emphysema without straining the body.
- Chinese Medicine: Consider using cordyceps mushrooms for respiratory health.
