Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs, that can consist of different symptoms. Often times they include coughing, muscle aches, fever, headaches, general weakness and more. Luckily, naturally remedies can be used to help treat the symptoms, as well as help to speed up your recovery.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Increase your intake of Vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to stop free radicals. Try taking large amounts of Vitamin C in supplemental form, as high as 10,000 milligrams a day. Split up the dosage into small dosages every couple of hours.

  2. Step 2

    Increase your intake of Vitamin A. Vitamin A helps to strengthen the tissue that lines the luungs. This makes it easier to fight the pneumonia and will shorten your recovery time.

  3. Step 3

    Take Thymus Extract in supplemental form daily, or add it to warm liquids before drinking. Thymus Extract helps your thymus to release a chemical that helps aid the immune system. It helps the immune system to release T cells, which help to kill bacteria and virusis, which cause the pneumonia.

  4. Step 4

    Take Echinacea in supplemental form daily. Echinacea helps to boost the production of both plagocytes and macrophages. These help to fight bacteria and viruses.
