Lung infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, are increasingly common in India, especially during colder months and in areas with high pollution levels. If not addressed promptly, these infections can lead to serious health complications.

According to the Indian Journal of Public Health, chronic respiratory diseases account for approximately 7.3% of all deaths in India, with conditions like COPD and lung infections contributing significantly to this burden. The World Health Organisation also emphasises infection prevention and control as a crucial strategy in reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses.

Highlighting the potential of alternative medicine, a study of Dr Batra’s clinic published in Homeopathic 360 reported a remarkable case of complicated pneumonia with pleural effusion. While conventional treatment recommended surgical tapping, the patient was successfully treated with a single dose of the homeopathic remedy Bryonia alba, avoiding invasive procedures and showcasing homeopathy’s ability to address even severe respiratory conditions through holistic healing.

This blog will guide you on how to reduce lung infection, prevent its recurrence, and avoid common triggers that affect respiratory health.

What are Lung Infections?

What Triggers It / Causes

Various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause lung infections. Common triggers include:

  • Exposure to pollutants and allergens
  • Weakened immune system
  • Smoking or second-hand smoke
  • Chronic diseases like asthma or COPD

Role of Immunity

A strong immune system is crucial in defending against lung infections. Factors that compromise immunity, such as poor nutrition, stress, and lack of sleep, can increase susceptibility.

Lifestyle/Environmental Factors

Urban living with high pollution levels, occupational hazards, and lifestyle choices like smoking significantly impact lung health. Implementing preventive measures is essential.

Dr Batra’s® pro tip:

"Regular exercise and breathing exercises like pranayama can enhance lung capacity and resilience."
