Bronchitis Treatment at Pyunkang
Bronchitis is caused by infection of the bronchial mucosa by viruses or bacteria.
After catching a cold, if coughing and phlegm persist, bacteria may spread into the bronchi, leading to bronchitis.
It occurs frequently in both men and women, but is especially common in middle-aged men.
It is more prevalent in smokers and people living in polluted environments.
Chronic bronchitis is often triggered by viral infections such as influenza, sudden temperature changes, exposure to chemical irritants
like gases, or allergies.
Among the various types of bronchitis, chronic bronchitis especially tends to cause coughing with sudden temperature
changes. If left untreated, the infection may spread to the lungs, causing pneumonia. If it worsens further, it may lead to
complications such as bronchiectasis or emphysema.
Acute Bronchitis
Often occurs as part of acute viral infections such as the common cold.
Symptoms include coughing with phlegm, shortness of breath, and
wheezing sounds, though it usually does not cause severe damage
to the bronchi.
Key Symptoms
Chronic Bronchitis
Defined as a condition where cough with phlegm persists for at least
3 months per year for 2 consecutive years. It often develops from
untreated acute bronchitis. Symptoms include persistent cough,
phlegm, and shortness of breath during physical activity. Phlegm
is typically white or yellow and tends to be worse in the morning.
Key Symptoms
Bronchiolitis
Inflammation at the ends of the bronchial branches, usually affecting
children under 2 years old. Symptoms include severe coughing,
difficulty breathing, and phlegm. It often develops after a cold.
Key Symptoms
Once the lungs, the core of the respiratory system, become healthier, the tonsils—which act as the body’s
frontline defense—also strengthen.
Healthy tonsils release white blood cells that fight off bacteria and viruses, while expelling toxins and waste
accumulated in the lungs through phlegm.
This helps resolve acute, chronic, and bronchiolitis conditions. Strong tonsils also boost immunity,
preventing colds and reducing the recurrence of respiratory diseases.
Activated lung function strengthens the tonsils, and empowered white blood cells and lymphocytes enhance phagocytosis,
helping to prevent and treat not only bronchitis but also various other pulmonary diseases.

Many patients have experienced Pyunkang Hospital’s Cheong-pye (lung cleansing) therapy, which aims at treatment without recurrence.
Only by addressing the root cause can recurrence be prevented.

Pyunkang-tang(hwan) extract
may alleviate respiratory diseases
and pulmonary fibrosis effectively.
A research paper on Pyunkang-tang(hwan) was published in the October 2016
issue of the SCI-level international journal JTCM, receiving scientific recognition.
The study showed that hardened lung tissue improved after taking
Pyunkang-tang(hwan) extract, and that rats exposed to sulfur dioxide,
which caused increased sputum production, showed reduced sputum
secretion after administration of the extract.
After administering bleomycin (BLM),
a substance that causes lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis,
each group was treated differently with Pyunkang-tang (PGT) and dexamethasone (a steroid drug).
The study showed that in the group with histopathological changes in the lungs,
oral administration of Pyunkang-tang (PGT) alleviated the severity of pulmonary fibrosis.

Lifestyle habits that maximize the effectiveness of treatment
Aerobic Exercise
Activities like hiking, walking, and outdoor strolls help you breathe in fresh air
and strengthen lung function. Healthy tonsils then release lymphocytes that
boost respiratory health, preventing and treating bronchitis.
Clean and Hygienic Environment
Dust and mites can trigger respiratory illnesses. Eliminating these harmful
environmental factors allows for healthier daily living.
Healthy Diet
Avoid foods that provoke coughing or phlegm, and refrain from alcohol.
Processed foods high in additives can worsen health and should be limited.
Whole grains, seasonal fruits, fish, vegetables, mushrooms, beans, and nuts
provide essential fatty acids that strengthen immunity.
Ventilation
Ventilate your home every 3 hours and for at least 30 minutes in the
morning and evening. Though invisible, fine particles in the air settle in the
bronchi and lungs, often triggering rhinitis or asthma.
Humidity Control
Excess humidity leads to damp walls and mold growth, while dryness can
worsen respiratory conditions and asthma. Keep indoor humidity at about
50–60% for optimal respiratory health.
No Smoking
Worrying about bronchial health while smoking is like diving into icy water
but fearing your clothes will get wet. Cigarettes harm not only the smoker
but also those exposed to secondhand smoke.
