Sodano DC, DABCI, DACBN, CFMP, CICP, BCTN (adapted from The College of Integrative Medicine Module 30 Clinical Botanical Medicine) Minor common disorders of the respiratory system can often be successfully treated with phytotherapy and it can be helpful as a supportive measure in more serious disease, such as bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia. i Cold and flu-like virus infections, decongestants (e.g. menthol and eucalyptus), broncholytics and expectorants (including ipecacuanha, thyme and senega), demulcents (e.g. mallow), antibacterials and antivirals (e.g. linden and elder flowers, pelargonium) and immune system modulators (e.g. echinacea, andrographis) are popular and effective. ii Herbal treatment and management strategies (caution in individuals with known allergic reactions to specific herbs): Inflammatory catarrhal (mucous) conditions of the upper respiratory mucosa (e.g. common colds, rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media) Acute bronchial and tracheal infections Allergic rhinitis Nervous coughing patterns Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (e.g. chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, emphysema, silicosis) Asthma Chronic tracheitis Definitions Stimulating (reflex) expectorants provoke increased mucociliary activity by reflex stimulation of the upper digestive wall Warming expectorants increase blood flow to the respiratory mucosa Respiratory demulcents soothing and anti-inflammatory action Respiratory spasmolytics relaxation of the bronchioles Anticatarrhal treatment of mucosal conditions Antitussive allay coughing Decongestants - remove congestion of mucous membranes 1
