Has anyone tried eucalyptus supplements? Saw a couple studies which indicate they help.
Haven't heard that, will Google it for more info. I do suck on a sugar free (I'm diabetic) eucalyptus lolly when my coughing gets too annoying.
Healthline has an interesting article regarding Eucalyptus in addition to regular meds for COPD, there are so many studies out there it is very difficult to determine what will help or hinder. I keep Aloe Plants ( 2) in my bedroom (helps clean the air, snake plant, and some other help with that, humidifier, room air cleaners (heap) help. getting rid of carpeting, anything that promotes dust. Purse lip breathing I believe is essential...So many ideas and thoughts..huh? Another thing I do (and it hasn't seemed to hurt) is at nite at bedtime I use Vicks under my nose and on my chest to help with my breathing....may not do anything but it seems to help. If you have a partner this may cause issues, so good luck if you try! My Nana always swore by Vicks! PS: 78 and been diagnosed 20+ years. seem to be holding my own! Good Luck!
