Pneumonia Causes | Symptoms | Remedies To Treat Pneumonia

Pneumonia is the inflammation of the lungs, which can cause serious damage if both the lungs are affected. In this condition, the air sacs in the lungs get filled with fluid and pus, which makes it difficult for the lungs to supply enough oxygen to the rest of the body through the bloodstream. It is a highly infectious disease caused by various microbial organisms, bacteria and germs like streptococcus, staphylococcus, and pneumococcus and sometimes by viruses. Fungal infections, inhaling toxic gases, allergens and pollutants, may also sometimes lead to pneumonia. When there is a build-up of germs and toxins in the body, especially the respiratory tract, its immunity against infections weakens and it becomes vulnerable to infectious diseases like pneumonia. The first symptoms of pneumonia are generally a cold accompanied by a throbbing pain in the head or sore throat, followed by chills and fevers. The patient may also suffer from shivers, pains in the chest and breathlessness. As the infection worsens, the patient also frequently coughs out pinkish or brownish sputum. The rise in body temperature is accompanied with increase in the heartbeat. Such symptoms may cause convulsions and delirium, especially in children.  Other less common symptoms are exhaustion, nausea and diarrhea, which may be misread as symptoms of intestinal problems.

Natural Remedies For Pneumonia Cure

• In order to treat pneumonia, you should adopt a diet comprising only raw fruit and vegetable juices for a week.


• You can use the juices of pineapples, grapes, apples, oranges, carrots and tomatoes and mix these with an equal proportion of water, and drink this every couple of hours. This regimen may be followed by an all-fruit diet for a couple of days. This is an effective natural way of flushing out germs and toxins from the body and lowers the body temperature.


• Consuming a few cloves of garlic is also highly helpful in bringing down the fever. You may also apply a paste of garlic on the chest for better results.


• When the symptoms are severe, boil some fenugreek seeds in water and drink this tea frequently throughout the day. This induces perspiration and lowers the body temperature, expels toxins from the body and revitalizes the lungs.


• For another remedy, soak 15gms of sesame seeds in 250ml liter of water overnight. Then add to it a tablespoon each of linseed and honey and a pinch of salt and mix the contents well. Consume this mixture at regular intervals. This acts as an excellent natural expectorant and expels phlegm from the body.
