There are many condition that affect the respiratory tract, lungs and bronchioles: cold and flu in certain individuals, bronchitis, croup, ,whooping cough, emphysema, pleurisy, asthma, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and certain viruses such as SARS and Covid 19. While some of these conditions have specific remedies, such as pneumonia and certain viruses, all will be benefited by the remedies contained on this page.

The oils and salves listed here can be applied to the chest, back, and feet. They can reduce inflammation and pain associated with lung conditions, while helping to open the bronchioles and discharge mucus. Many have the added benefit of antibacterial and antiviral properites for aiding the body in disposing of harmful pathogens if dealing with a virus or bacteria.

- Massage one of the salves above into the chest or you could use the glandular oil.
- Next apply one of the essential oils listed below or a lung support blend from your company of choice.
- Then do some chest claps. Simply cup your hand and whack it firmly over the chest and back to break up mucous, just make sure that the hand is cupped or else you will just be smacking, not clapping. There are chest clapping tools also available to purchase as well but not needed.
- During the evening run a humidifier in the room of the sick one and add a few drops of one or more of the essential oils below to the water.
- If the patient is having a hard time breathing, wrap warmly in blankets and take out into the cool night air, letting them breathe deeply for several minutes. This can be repeated as often as needed. If it is warm outside go into the bathroom and turn on a hot shower to produce some steam (adding essential oil to the floor of the shower will diffuse it into the steam, opening the bronchial passages) let them inhale for several minutes, then take them out into a cool room.
- Baths and foot soaks are also very healing. I like to make a strong herbal infusion with the Heal All Herb Mix and pour into the bath water. Thyme and oregano baths are good for the respiratory system or use one of more of the herbs listed below. Pour the water over the chest and back while bathing. Drink fluids while bathing.

Specific Conditions
- pneumonia - due to the wet condition of this ailment and the bacteria that can be involved, there are specific remedies for treatment.
- SARS and Covid19 are both viruses that affect the respiratory system. Due to the protein coat on these particular viruses, protease enzymes need to be consumed in addition to any of the above remedies. The protease enzyme will break down the protein coat so the body can then recognize it as a virus and start the process of eliminating it. You can purchase protease enzymes or consume any of the following: pineapple, papaya (including papaya supplements), kiwi, kefir, kimchi, ginger, raw honey, rejuvelac, Dr. Christopher's Plague Remedy.
