"So now I'm going to talk a little bit about Bronchitis and what you can do to relieve those symptoms of coughing and shaking and the fever and the chills and just feeling down right miserable. So first thing, you want that Quercetin again which comes from garlic. Garlic is like a broad spectrum antibiotic. It's been shown to be more effective than some antibiotics and so you can cut this up just like you did and you can use it raw or you can use it in your food, but make sure you always have the garlic. Whenever you get the colds or the flus and in this case Bronchitis. Now again, Elderberry is fantastic; the way it just can act like an expectorant and lets all that kind of stuff that's right in your bronchi; it can soothe it and it can get it out. The same with Echinacea; it stimulates the immune system and your white blood cells are able to kill the virus. Hopefully, it's just a virus with the Bronchitis, you don't want it to be getting any bacteria and the other thing is Propolis. You can again take this spray and it can kill the things in your throat and have that added effect and it's not perhaps yet quite going right down to the Bronchi, but it will soothe and kill things right in your mouth. Again with Licorice; it's anti-viral. So it will help get rid of the virus that's creating this mucus. And the other thing, of course, is Vitamin C and in this case, again, Rose Hips is fantastic in terms of the content of the Vitamin C. It's interesting because pharmaceutical companies won't tell you this, but the best expectorant is water. So you want to make sure that you're sipping on water continually when you have Bronchitis to loosen up that phlegm, loosen up all that mucus, get it out and just by sipping water perhaps with some lemon will cut right through to that. So that's a few hints for Bronchitis."
