Bronchitis
Understanding bronchial inflammation and finding lasting relief through integrative medicine
Bronchitis: When Your Airways Need Healing
Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes—the airways that carry air to your lungs. This inflammation causes excess mucus production and narrowing of the airways, resulting in the characteristic persistent cough and breathing difficulties that define this condition.
At Healers Clinic, we understand that bronchitis is more than just a "chest cold." Our integrative approach addresses both the immediate symptoms and the underlying factors that contribute to recurrent or chronic bronchitis.
Key Facts About Bronchitis
- Acute bronchitis lasts 2-3 weeks and usually follows a respiratory infection
- Chronic bronchitis is defined as cough with mucus for 3+ months
- Smoking is the primary cause of chronic bronchitis
- Most cases are caused by viral infections, not bacteria
Expert Care: Our integrative team specializes in respiratory health, combining modern medicine with traditional healing approaches.
What is Bronchitis?
Bronchitis is the inflammation and swelling of the bronchial tubes (airways that carry air to the lungs). This inflammation causes excess mucus production and narrowing of the airways, resulting in coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.

When Bronchitis Occurs
Common presentations
Types of Bronchitis
Acute Bronchitis
Short-term inflammation usually caused by viral infections (cold, flu). Typically lasts 2-3 weeks with complete recovery.
Chronic Bronchitis
Long-term condition defined by daily cough with mucus for at least 3 months, two consecutive years. Part of COPD.
Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Bronchitis
Worsening of chronic bronchitis symptoms beyond normal day-to-day variation.
Bronchiolitis
Inflammation of small airways (bronchioles), most common in infants and young children.
What's Causing Your Bronchitis
Identifying the underlying causes of bronchitis allows us to target treatment effectively for lasting results.
Viral Infection
HighMost acute bronchitis cases are caused by viruses (influenza, rhinovirus, RSV) that infect the bronchial tubes and trigger inflammation.
Bacterial Infection
MediumLess commonly, bacterial infections (Mycoplasma, Chlamydophila) can cause bronchitis, sometimes requiring antibiotic treatment.
Tobacco Smoking
High (chronic)Chemical irritants in tobacco smoke damage bronchial cilia and increase mucus production, leading to chronic inflammation.
Air Pollution & Occupational Exposures
MediumLong-term exposure to dust, fumes, and air pollutants irritates bronchial tubes and promotes chronic inflammation.
Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD)
Low-MediumStomach acid backing up into the throat can irritate bronchial tubes and trigger chronic bronchitis symptoms.
Allergic Reactions
Low-MediumEnvironmental allergens can cause inflammation in sensitive individuals, mimicking or aggravating bronchitis.
How We Assess Causes
Our comprehensive evaluation combines detailed health history, advanced diagnostic testing, and constitutional assessment to identify the unique combination of factors contributing to your bronchitis.
Important Note
The probabilities shown are based on clinical research and our patient population. Your individual case may have different contributing factors. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine your specific root causes.
