In the human body, nature arranged everything in such a way that each organ performs a vital function. One of these organs is the human lungs. In their absence, a person simply will not be able to breathe and, therefore, the body will not receive enough oxygen. It is they who take on the entire burden and relate to the human respiratory system.

From the earliest stages of life, the entire respiratory system is exposed to external factors. This is air pollution or, in other words, a bad environment. Over time, a lot of bad habits appear, for example, smoking. About what harm tobacco can do to a person is not worth talking about.

Types of diseases

Along with all of the above factors, there are also congenital pathologies that are passed down from generation to generation at the genetic level. The most common diseases:

• Pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs);
• Lungs' cancer;
• Tuberculosis;
• Emphysema.

1. Pneumonia or in simple terms, pneumonia can have varying degrees of severity. The main cause of this disease is the streptococcus virus, which appears or remains in after diseases such as influenza, bronchitis, SARS, acute respiratory infections. Bacteria are other pathogens. In this case, a person can get sick at any time of the year.

The symptoms of pneumonia are very similar to the common cold or flu. However, a person should be alerted by several signs. Firstly, it is a high temperature (over 38), which lasts more than three days. In children, on the contrary, the temperature may not be too high (no more than 37.5).

The temperature is accompanied by a cough (dry), pain in the chest. The sick person experiences a breakdown or simply quickly overworks. Chills appear at times. The presence of all of the above symptoms in the aggregate requires immediate consultation with a doctor. Pneumonia can be cured if you combine the treatment prescribed by your doctor with folk remedies.

2. Cancer is caused by the formation of a malignant tumor, which is formed from the mucous membranes of the bronchi and lungs. With the timely detection of this disease and with an integrated approach, it is curable. It can be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery to remove the affected part.

Symptoms of cancer are: a sudden increase in body temperature, constant or intermittent weakness, shortness of breath and cough. It is on the cough that you should pay attention. It has a paroxysmal form or begins under the influence of environmental factors. The patient develops sweating and loss of appetite. When expectorated, sputum has a yellowish, sometimes greenish tint. In more severe cases, the cough is accompanied by sputum with blood, while the blood can have a varied consistency.

3. Tuberculosis is caused by a bacterial bacillus, better known as Koch's bacillus. This is the oldest disease of mankind. The danger of the disease is that at the initial stage it is asymptomatic and develops without manifesting itself. Like previous ailments, it affects the respiratory system. There are cases when people were cured of tuberculosis using folk remedies.

4. The diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema means that a large number of air bubbles have accumulated in the lung tissue, as a result of which the elasticity of the walls and vessels of the lung tissue is disturbed. The main symptom of emphysema is shortness of breath, in which a person does not completely let out air. This results in the lowest oxygen saturation in the blood. It may be hereditary or acquired.

Treatment Methods

All of the above types of ailments are treated with medication, but in the aggregate and in order to get the most positive effect, non-traditional methods are also applicable. There is a general recommendation on how to treat various ailments, this is to strengthen the immune system. Oddly enough, if a person's lungs are not in order, doctors regard this as the body's response, which is not strong enough to overcome the disease on its own.

With tuberculosis and pneumonia, doctors, without fail, prescribe a course of antibiotics. The duration of the course depends on several factors. What stage is the disease in, what causes it, as well as the presence of concomitant myopathies. With emphysema in the initial and second degree, breathing exercises are prescribed. However, it often causes infection. In this case, antibiotics of various groups are also prescribed.

A sick person is prescribed a special diet, in which there is the least load on the digestive tract. At the same time, meat products must be present in the diet.

Treatment of diseases with folk remedies

Continuing the conversation about certain types of products, it is worth mentioning that this is more related to preventive treatment with folk remedies. These ways are:

• mustard plasters;
• Honey (propolis);
• Herbal preparations;
• Dairy products;
• Milk;
• Wine berries and more.

1. If you treat the disease with folk remedies, then it is worth mentioning the panacea that our ancestors resorted to just recently, medical banks. Previously, they were present in almost every home. They are installed for a maximum of fifteen minutes, provided that they are installed by a person with experience in this matter.

2. Other folk remedies that people have used since ancient times are compresses using honey. All components are taken in equal amounts: honey, vegetable oil and dry mustard. Everything is mixed in a cup, which is placed in a water bath. As the honey melts, flour is gradually added in small portions, while the mixture must be constantly stirred. The result should be a mass, a little thicker than sour cream. Next, put it in a plastic bag and put it to warm up the chest, preferably the back too. The duration of the use of such a compress depends on the duration of the disease.

There are many recipes where treatment is carried out with folk remedies and where honey is present. The ideal is to absorb natural propolis daily for two weeks. The amount of propolis should not be less than 1 gram and not exceed 3 grams per day. Even in the absence of allergic reactions to bee products, the first days the amount of propolis should not exceed half a gram.

Propolis is used to make oil, which is used internally along with butter. Medicinal is propolis oil from 10 to 15 percent. They are mixed in equal proportions and applied 1 teaspoon 3 times a day, 2 hours before meals. The mixture is washed down with warm milk. The course of treatment is two months, but you should stop for two weeks. Each subsequent course increases by 1 teaspoon.

3. If the disease is to be treated for a long time, then compresses should be alternated. Example, mustard plasters on the first day, honey cakes on the second day, iodine mesh on the third day. There is a small nuance, the mesh is drawn with a cell, but the stripes must pass between the edges. It is in these places that many blood vessels pass. On the fourth day, put medical jars and so on. This should also include a compress made from cottage cheese and whey. It is applied as thick as a finger.

4. Internal pork fat, goose, badger and dog fat are essential attributes when rubbing. Pre-fat is melted in a water bath. If dog fat is used, the maximum effect can be achieved if dog soup is consumed simultaneously with rubbing.

5. Any lung disease is almost always accompanied by a cough. It is possible to alleviate the patient's condition, as well as help soften sputum, with folk remedies. The main method in the treatment of cough is herbal preparations. Particularly good as an expectorant is the collection of an equal amount of raspberries, coltsfoot leaves, and oregano leaves. All herbs and berries are mixed. The broth is prepared in this way: one tablespoon of the collection is poured with one glass (200 ml) of boiling water. The mixture is infused for 15 minutes and consumed warm.

6. Sprouted grain in any kind of cooking is a folk remedy. You can make a tincture from it or gnaw it like seeds. The main thing is that the use is permanent. Koumiss and fish (carp), which are rather strange methods of healing, are non-traditional medicine. They were mentioned in their annals by many scientists of the past.

Cognac in combination with hot milk should be drunk immediately, as the milk will curdle after a few minutes. Milk in combination with hot red pepper will serve as an excellent recipe as an auxiliary method to treat tuberculosis.

Even with such a variety of approaches to any ailment, in any treatment, a doctor's consultation is necessary. If the disease is serious and protracted, then healers' methods will become a lifesaver for medical methods.
Thematic video:

One of the most common oncological pathologies is lung cancer, which is often called the disease of heavy smokers. The disease is very difficult to treat, but when detected at the first and second stages of development, the prognosis of subsequent therapy is very encouraging.

However, it is important to understand that the treatment of lung cancer will be successful only if the drug treatment protocol is strictly followed and the patient follows all the doctor's instructions.

For any person, the formulation of such a terrible diagnosis becomes a real shock! Some become depressed and resolutely refuse to take any medication, considering it a waste of money and time, while others desperately cling to life and look for additional effective ways and folk remedies to treat this disease.

Folk recipes or modern medicines?

Going in search of a healing folk remedy for cancer, and deciding to use it, it is very important that the patient understands that it is not worth waiting for a complete and final deliverance from this serious and extremely insidious disease with the help of herbs and decoctions alone.

Official medicine does not deny the fact that the parallel treatment of lung cancer with folk remedies really has a positive effect on the course of recovery. But! So far, folk remedies have not been able to become an alternative to modern methods and programs for the treatment of oncological diseases.

Currently, there are many tried and proven folk recipes in the treatment of lung cancer. However, despite the fact that they are all prepared from natural and harmless to human health components, it is necessary to notify the doctor about their use as an additional maintenance therapy.

Healing decoction

One of the most popular aids is a special decoction based on medicinal herbs.

To prepare it, you will need the following ingredients:

• chaga extract - 200 grams;
• brown rose hips, pine cones and yarrow grass - 50 grams each;
• bitter wormwood - 5 grams.

All ingredients are thoroughly mixed and poured with three liters of hot boiled water. The container with the mixture is wrapped as tightly as possible for 2 hours. Then the resulting herbal infusion is brought to a boil and simmered over low heat for 1.5-2.0 hours under a closed lid.

The finished broth is again wrapped and infused for another 24 hours. After this time, 250 grams of cognac, 500 grams of natural honey and 200 grams of aloe juice are added to the filtered drink.

The decoction should be stored in a glass container in a dark place at room temperature. It should be consumed 5 times a day for a teaspoon one hour before meals.

An infusion prepared according to this recipe can also be used to treat pulmonary fibrosis. Folk remedies, as well as pharmaceutical medicines, are categorically not recommended to abuse.

Celandine for cancer cells

The antitumor properties of such a plant as celandine have long been confirmed by official medicine. Infusions and decoctions from various parts of this plant are advised to be taken by patients of oncology departments as an aid in the fight against the disease.

In addition, celandine infusions are often used to treat pleurisy of the lungs with folk remedies.

Celandine is used as an antitussive and immunomodulatory component. Having decided on the independent preparation of any infusions, ointments or decoctions with the participation of this plant, you need to remember that it is poisonous. Uncontrolled intake of folk remedies based on celandine can result in severe intoxication of the body.

Preparing the infusion is very simple: one tablespoon of dried and carefully chopped celandine grass is poured with two glasses of boiling water and infused for an hour and a half. After that, the infusion is filtered and consumed 4-5 times a day for a tablespoon.

Treatment of lung diseases with folk remedies

Of course, cancer is the most terrible disease, and complete deliverance from it is considered a real miracle. However, there are a number of other lung diseases that are difficult to diagnose and treat, which are also very often and effectively treated additionally with folk remedies along with traditional drug therapy.

These diseases include:

• emphysema;
• tuberculosis;
• pneumofibrosis;
• pleurisy;
• various inflammations.

Pulmonary emphysema is quite difficult to treat with folk remedies, however, with due perseverance, it is still possible to get positive dynamics during the auxiliary treatment of this disease with healing infusions.

A long-proven remedy is an infusion of one tablespoon of a mixture of elecampane root, mint and sage leaves, thyme herb and eucalyptus leaves (in equal proportions) in a glass of boiling water. The drink is infused for 2-3 hours, filtered and taken 50 ml 3 times a day after meals.

For the treatment of pneumonia with the help of folk remedies, herbs such as linden flowers, chamomile, calendula and natural honey are often used. Taking all this herbs and flowers, the patient must be clearly aware of the fact that antibiotics have been and remain the main drug for the treatment of pneumonia.

It helps well in the treatment of pleurisy and pneumonia a glass of warm boiled milk and one teaspoon of natural honey and the same amount of unsalted pork fat.

Pneumonia is an acute disease of an infectious nature that affects the lungs (with the involvement of elements of the lung tissue in the process).

Despite the availability of modern antibacterial drugs, the relevance of the incidence of acute pneumonia remains.

According to statistics, about 400 thousand cases of pneumonia are registered annually in Russia. There is still a high percentage of complications and even deaths.

Causes of pneumonia

Among the causes of pneumonia in the first place is bacterial infection:

• gram-negative microorganisms (hemophilic bacillus, legirnella, E. coli, Proteus, enterobacteria, Friedlander's bacillus);
• gram-positive microorganisms (strepto- and staphylococci);
• viral infections (adenoviruses, parainfluenza, influenza, herpes viruses);
• mycoplasmas;
• fungal infections (dimorphic yeast fungus, candida, etc.).

Among non-infectious causes Pneumonia can be caused by several factors:

• allergic agents (some drugs, animal dander, dust, plant pollen);
• toxic substances (fumes of gasoline, kerosene, chlorophos);
• ionizing radiation;
• burns of the respiratory tract;
• chest injuries (bruises, blows, compression pressure).

Factors that increase the risk of developing the disease:

In children:

• pneumopathy;
• injuries during difficult childbirth, malnutrition;
• cystic fibrosis;
• congenital heart or lung defects;
• hypoxia or intrauterine asphyxia;
• immunodeficiency.

For teenagers:

• weakened immunity;
• heart disease (acquired);
• caries;
• chronic inflammatory processes with localization in the nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses;
• early smoking.

Characteristic symptoms

The characteristic clinical manifestations of the disease are:

• temperature rise to 39 degrees;

Not really

This is a large group of diseases that are characterized by an inflammatory process in the lungs. In this case, the entire tissue of the lung or only part of any one lobe of the organ can be affected. The cause is usually a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. Inflammatory fluid and mucous secretions accumulate in the alveoli and airways, thus creating blood stasis and lung tissue is compacted. All this negatively affects the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The disease can be caused by injuries, be a complication of another disease or a consequence of prolonged bed rest, develop from inhalation of air poisoned by chemicals.

Distinguish between acute and chronic inflammation of the lungs.

Acute pneumonia is characterized by fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, inflammation

There are two forms: transient, or croupous, and protracted - catarrhal.

By doctor's definition O. Morozova, croupous inflammation always begins with a tremendous chill and high temperature - up to 40 and above. Urine becomes thick, dark, then there is a cough and pain in the side. At first, the cough is dry, and after two or three days, sticky sputum of a rusty color appears, sometimes with blood. With the correct course of the disease, a crisis sets in after 7-8 days: the patient falls asleep soundly, during sleep the temperature drops sharply, the patient wakes up in a sweat, and recovery begins from that day. If the crisis does not occur at a certain time, then the disease becomes chronic or threatens with a bad end.

At the first signs of the disease, you should consult a doctor, since pneumonia is a very dangerous disease and, if not properly treated, can result in death.

The injection of penicillin quickly stops the inflammatory process in the lungs, and the patient recovers.

But if, for any reason, you have to treat the patient yourself, then you must first take the following measures: cleanse the patient's stomach with some kind of laxative, place in a warm, but not hot room. Give food broth, milk, but food beyond desire is harmful. To lower the temperature water with lemon or cranberry juice. To the very weak and old, to raise their strength, give little by little. guilt. Wrap the chest, sides and back with a warming compress of water, changing it twice a day. Inside give hot for expectoration tea, infusion of marshmallow root two cups a day or on an empty stomach - half a glass of warm water, in which to dilute half a teaspoon of soda and a pinch of salt.

If there are powders salicylic sodium 0.5, then to lower the temperature give twice a day, one at a time. It is good to give something diaphoretic to drink - infusion lime blossom, mint, sage.

In chronic or prolonged inflammation, the lungs are not completely affected, as is the case with acute inflammation, and the affected areas are scattered everywhere.

At the very beginning of a protracted inflammation, it is useful to give hot or warm drinks. milk, letting in a drop of purified turpentine.

V otherwise, the measures taken for cure are similar to those used for croupous inflammation.

Doctor O. Morozova, published a medical manual for Russian emigrants, widely used the practice of old zemstvo doctors who did not abuse medicines, preferring well-tested remedies. So she advises for pneumonia to use such folk and home remedies:

1. V the very first days of the disease, one should begin to take purified sulfur 1/4 teaspoon per day, washed down with water or eaten with semolina. And who lives next to a pine forest, then you need to collect dripping from the pines sulfur(resin), roll it into balls with sugar and swallow it like that. This remedy is very good not only for inflammation of the lungs, but also for tuberculosis.

2. For expectoration of sputum, drink a cup a day of a hot infusion of herbs ivan da marya, otherwise - tricolor violet.

3. A warm compress can be done like this: spread on the canvas soft curd(a little with serum) as thick as a finger and continue to do as with a regular compress.

4. Inside it is desirable to give the present olive oil.

5. To divert the heat from the chest, wrap the feet up to the ankles soaked in water with vinegar rags(well squeezed), and wrap your legs in something warm on top. When the rags dry, it is necessary to moisten again. You can put wet socks on your feet and wrap them in warm ones.

6. Put banks on the chest and back for 10-15 minutes.

Famous Russian doctor P. M. Kurennoe offers:

Banks and... "Superbanks"

With inflammation of the lungs, body temperature quickly reaches a high level in a short time. There is a need to put in this case from 30 to 40 cans on the back, on the sides (near the back), and sometimes on the chest of the patient. 8-10 hours after cupping, the body temperature begins to drop and the patient recovers. Grandfather applied "superbanks" only to very old patients and those with very poor health, the hopes for saving them with simple banks were very weak.

Grandfather took small (with a capacity of two glasses) clay crusts (with a belly). He heated the Russian stove and, when it was necessary to put bread in the oven for baking, grandfather made v bake a sheet of asbestos and coat the upper edge of the crusts with dough cakes. Then he arranged the crusts upside down and heated them to the desired temperature. The asbestos and the dough crust protected the crusts from excessive heating.

Then the grandfather made very small cuts (up to 10 in number) with a sterilized sharp knife in the place where the "super bank" should be placed. Then he put the korchazhka on the cuts and ... left this peculiar jar for 7-10 minutes. Under the jar turned out to be black as hell, blood, in the amount of one sixteenth of a glass ... .

But no matter how attractive the idea of ​​"super cans" may seem, nevertheless, their setting requires a huge experience, skill, adaptability of both the oven and the crusts themselves ... Ordinary mortals, and not experienced healers, let them put simple cans better. Forty simple jars at the same time allow you to reduce any temperature. Even an agonizing patient can recover!

To do this, fresh cow's milk (steam milk is even better) is diluted with cold water so that for each bottle of milk there are from 1 to 3 bottles of water - thicker koumiss or thinner. Water is mixed with milk in an open bowl and granulated sugar is added - 1 tablespoon for each bottle. The more sugar you put in, the stronger the koumiss will be.

Take a large format newspaper and fold it in half across. Attach it to the chest so that the fold line rests on the neck, make notches in the places corresponding to the throat and armpits. On one side of the newspaper, apply a layer of the mixture so that it does not fall on the heart area. Cover this place with a folded cotton cloth. Now apply the newspaper with the greased side well body, wrapping it around the chest. The fold line should rest against the neck.
