Introduction:

Perhaps a wind instrument was playing; it must have sounded lovely. However, it could be concerning if you hear a similar sound originating from someone's body while they breathe. Wheezing is the loud whistle or rough rattle-like sound humans make when living. It may result from illnesses like asthma, bronchitis, allergies, etc., blocking a portion of the airway. The kind of sound heard changes depending on whatever part of the airway is obstructed. Some wheezes can only be detected with a stethoscope; not all wheezes are audible to the human ear.

Wheezing often sounds when we breathe out (exhale), but it can also occasionally be heard when we breathe in (inhale). 

Wheezing: What causes it?

Our bodies include a network of bronchi tubes extending from the nose to the lungs. We can hear wheezing when there is a blockage or obstruction in the smaller pipes (bronchioles). One of the more giant tubes might also be blocked. Wheezing can be brought on by a variety of medical disorders, like :

• Inhalant Allergies
• Anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction)
• heart attack
• Long-Term Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Pneumonia
• The chaos of Gastric and Esophageal Reflux (GERD)
• Smoking Aspiration, which is when a foreign object is breathed in
• Acute and chronic bronchitis (infection in the small tubes in the lungs)
• Dysplastic fibrosis (blocking of breathing tubes in us by mucous)
• Syncytial respiratory virus (a seasonal viral infection)
• vocal cord disease.

Wheezing symptoms include a partial obstruction of the airway, which is caused by an underlying medical issue. Wheezes are sounds similar to whistles, rattles, or clarinets (wind instruments). Most of the time, wheezing is audible when you breathe out, but it can occasionally be heard when you live.

Wheezing can occur from several causes, and as a result, many different home remedies can many other home remedies can be used to cure it. The use of specific naturally occurring compounds that are conveniently available in our homes can be utilized as a treatment for wheezing. Here are a few examples.

1. Vasaka (Malabar Nut)

 In Sanskrit, it is also known as Vasa, while in English, it is called Malabar Nut. Breathing is more manageable, and the airways are widened or opened by the Masaka leaf decoction or tea. It is therefore used to address respiratory issues. People use it as a treatment for wheezing brought on by lung problems. Vasaka leaves can be used to prepare a decoction that can be ingested. The decoction can be sweetened by adding sugar or honey to offset the bitterness. 

2. Tulsi

Tulsi is a popular ingredient in many Ayurvedic cough medicines. Tulsi assists in moving the mucous, so removing the obstruction occurs in situations like bronchitis and asthma when the mucus becomes trapped in the airway passages and partially plugs them.

After a hard day, we can prepare a decoction with tulsi leaves, honey, ginger, and other ingredients. This treatment relieves symptoms of bronchitis, the flu, cough, colds, and allergies, which can cause wheezing.

3. Black nightshade

 Black nightshade, also known as Brihati in Sanskrit and Janglibhata in Hindi. It is one of the essential substances used in making cough syrups. It works by reducing the thickness of the mucus that blocks the airways. Due to this ability, it is beneficial when wheezing is brought on by bronchial and tracheal inflammation brought on by bacterial infection (bacterial tracheobronchitis). Making a tea or decoction from nightshade leaves and drinking it can be used as a treatment.

4. Ginger

 The rhizome of ginger, also known as adrak, is particularly important medicinally. It is used to recreate a variety of situations. A small amount of honey, pomegranate juice, and ginger juice can be eaten to alleviate asthma, a common cause of wheezing. When we have allergies, another common cause of wheezing is a decoction produced by boiling ginger or ginger powder in water, and adding honey might help calm the throat. Therefore, ginger can be added to various dishes to treat wheezing.

5. Pipli

Long Pepper is known as Pipli in Hindi. In Sanskrit, it is also known as Chapla. This tree's fruit has therapeutic properties. Wheezing is frequently caused by asthma, which Pipli can also treat to stop hyperventilating. Jaggery can be taken with a small amount of dry pipe powder. To experience its sound effects, it can be drunk twice a day after meals. 

6. Mulethi

In English, mulethi is also referred to as licorice. Mulethi, when taken as a tea, can be used to treat wheezing that results from bronchial asthma or any other bronchial irritation.

Mulethi and ginger can be used to make a herbal tea that can be sipped to relieve wheezing. It is advised to limit your intake of this herbal tea to 2-3 cups per day. 

7. Breathing exercises

By relaxing our airways, breathing exercises help to expand the lung and increase lung capacity. Breathing exercises used in yoga are called Pranayama. Wheezing may be reduced by engaging in Pranayama or other deep breathing techniques. To maximize the advantages, it is suggested that you perform these exercises in a moist atmosphere

8. Hot herbal tea

 Taking hot herbal tea relieves throat discomfort and opens up congested airways. This can be a result of the herbal tea's heat and wetness. Another benefit that green tea is claimed to offer is its antimicrobial capabilities. Therefore, a delightful technique to stop wheezing is to sip hot herbal tea.
