Pneumonia is an acute form of respiratory infection in the lungs caused by viruses, fungi and bacteria. When a normal person breathes in air, the air fills the small sacs in the lungs.

Signs and Symptoms
Most commonly, you’ll have a persistent, phlegm-producing cough in which blood may be present, and shortness of breath. Many people experience chills, sweats and fever, headaches and muscle pain. In severe cases, you may even feel nausea and diarrhea set in.

10 Home Remedies for Getting Rid of Pneumonia

Garlic
Among garlic’s added advantages as an antibiotic is its selectivity. Garlic works better than most prescription antibiotics that blindly kill good and bad bacteria. Talk with a health practitioner before pursuing this path.

Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are effective natural treatment of pneumonia. An excellent infusion can be prepared readily by boiling about 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds in a cup of water. Drinking this blend twice a day can be helpful in curing pneumonia very efficiently. For better results, add a little each of linseeds, honey and common salt to the solution before drinking.

Olive Leaf Extract
Olive leaf extract acts as a natural antibiotic, helping your body fight infection while boosting the rest of your immune system. You can find it in capsules, powder, liquid elixir, or as a tea in most health food stores – we recommend drinking one or two cups of olive leaf extract tea before bed.

Turmeric
Turmeric has a few medicinal properties and is extensively used in treating a host of ailments. Additionally, it aids against pneumonia. Other herbs like fenugreek, black pepper, and ginger will also be advantageous for your lungs when used together with turmeric.

Fenugreek
Drinking 3 or 4 cups of freshly prepared fenugreek tea everyday can be regarded as an effective method to cure pneumonia completely as well as efficiently. Add four or five drops of lemon juice to the prepared tea for improving the taste of the same.

Pleurisy Root
Pleurisy root has a long history of being used to treat respiratory infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and influenza. A natural anti-inflammatory and stimulant, it helps reduce the inflammation of the lungs and stimulates the lymphatic system, encouraging the secretion of healthy lung fluids.

Carrot Juice
A glass of carrot juice with dinner, combined with a tablespoon of cayenne pepper to boost the effects of the carrot juice, will add antioxidants to your damaged lung tissue and help heal your lungs. Carrot juice is also a source of vitamin A, as well as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium – all of which are helpful when you’re fighting off an infection like pneumonia.

Liquorice
Liquorice is an herbal remedy used for curing the problem of pneumonia. An individual can add dried roots of liquorice (2 teaspoons) in water (1/2 litre) and boil this mixture for a period of 10 to 15 minutes. Consumption of this mixture 3 to 4 times on a daily basis can help in the treatment of cough.

Fenugreek Tea With Lemon
Prepare tea with fenugreek and add a few drops of Lemon juice to it. Consume nothing but this solution for two to three days at regular intervals. The fenugreek added to the tea helps in removing all toxins and clearing the respiratory tract.

Lemon Juice
Lemons are known for their antibacterial properties, as they are rich in Vitamin C. They help reduce the body temperature and boost the immune system. Get juice of half a lemon and mix it in a glass of warm water. Sprinkle a pinch of rock salt and drink this juice every day.
