Hi there
I also have bronchectisis and asthma and I use it. I rub it on my chest and throat area.
Its important to try and clear any mucus off your lungs before you go to bed either with breathing exercises or with an acapella.

What meds are you using? I sometimes put an Indian version of Vicks – less petroleum jelly and some additional herbs – rubbing it on my chest. Meant to ask my pulmonologist what he thinks about it but i forgot. It sometimes seems to help loosen things while i sleep.

However, i read an article this winter saying it should never be used near the nose, that it does more harm than good in that spot.
