Managing COPD

welcome!
My recommendation would be to talk with your doctor. He/she is the person to advise, as you want to make sure that any herbal medications would not have a negative reaction because of your prescribed and other over the counter medications.

Hi I do the huff cough exercise two or three times everyday, that will bring up the phlegm which is what you want. You can find this exercise on u tube it’s the best for clearing your chest.

First let me say always consult your Dr...My problem may not be the same as yours..When I first was diagnosed with copd I had no idea what I was in for..well,I woke up one day and I was struggling for breath,I had no idea what was taking place..I was referred to pulmonologist who informed me I had emphysema..Holes develope in the lungs, basically they deteriorate over time..He suggested I try Anoro which I did for a couple months..the exacerbations continued and was bad..so basically I tried them all Wixella,Breo,Anoro..different inhalers...none worked..I was getting worse...I was 56 at the time,I prayed and prayed,didnt want to die,I started looking into getting all my thongs in order because I thought If God doesn't step in and help then I was gona see Him soon..Well,I started eating more vegetables..I tried every kind of erb concoctions to no avail..i slowed it down a bit..and I finally found (God) showed me...See my emmune system is very low,so my lungs were filling with mucus csusing me much stress..so much so I cuddnt breath .well..I needed something to control the mucus so I started taking an Allergy Relief pill from Walmart (cetirizine hydrochloride)...white not pink..pink is like benadryl..makes you drowsy...white ones dont...I use a nasil spray once at nite and i can finally sleep at nite...i drink l'arginine plus about 5mg of taurine mixed together everyday...My blood pressure went back to normal...threw away the blood pressure pills 7 years ago ..Dr doesn't understand it ..but I've had total exam done last month and im doing better than 10 years ago ..Oh,Im 66 now .so I understand the suffering that goes along with emphysema...Dr. took a cat scan in Jan...he says my lungs look like they have stopped deteriorating...I know one thing,Im walking longer distances and breathing better ..and smiling more...and Dr.didnt do it,God did ..just ask and you shall receive,After 10 years if stuggling,He led me to what helped me...

I just started taking Mullein leaf, 1000 mg, (double wood supplements from Amazon.com). Although I've done no correct scientific study, this is what I've noticed--i take one capsule two times per day and I cough up a lot of mucus-much more than usual. I still do nebulizer breathing treatments 3-4 per day with Duoneb (combivent) I use Symbicort and Spiriva inhalers daily also. Since starting the Mullein capsules I have seen a real difference in how my breathing has improved. It may just be a fluke but I'm going to continue for a while and see if I get continuously better or even remaining where I am now it's better than a few weeks ago. Good luck if you try it.
