Natural Remedies For Curing Emphysema

Emphysema can be described as a disease of the lungs, which is chronic in nature and usually affects a person around middle-age. It leads to narrowing of the passages that lead to the tiny air sacs, known as alveoli and bronchioles, in the lungs. With time, the air sacs become permanently inflated with air, the number of blood vessels gets reduced and the tissues also lose their elasticity. This results in breathlessness in the affected person, followed by coughing and difficulty in even chewing and swallowing. Gradually, the patient loses appetite and starts losing weight as well. Emphysema mainly affects the people who are already suffering from chronic bronchitis and asthma, but can also result from infection and exposure to high levels of air pollution, smoking and dust.
