Dietary section
1. Dahil ang chronic bronchitis ay may mahabang history, ang gastrointestinal function ay weakened, at ang immunity ay bumaba, dapat dagdagan ang intake ng proteins, calories, at vitamins, tulad ng lean meat, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, at fruits, upang mapabilis ang pagbawi ng damaged tissues at mapataas ang immunity ng katawan; kumain ng mga foods na nakakatulong sa spleen at qi, at light and di-mabigat na dampness, tulad ng yam, winter melon, radish, water chestnut, loquat, atbp. Maraming mga pagkain na may therapeutic effect sa chronic bronchitis, tulad ng ginkgo nuts para sa pagpapalabas ng phlegm at pagpapalakas ng breathing, pear para sa pagpapalambot ng lungs at pagpapalabas ng cough, pumpkin para sa pagpapalabas ng cough at phlegm, kumquat paste para sa pagpapalabas ng phlegm, lily for lung nourishment and moisturizing, and tremella for lung nourishment and cough relief. Maaaring maging marami ang mga ito.
2. Ayon sa Traditional Chinese Medicine, ang mahabang panahon ng pagkain ng mataba at mabigat na pagkain ay nakakasira sa spleen and stomach function, na maaaring magdulot ng phlegm at dampness sa katawan. Kaya dapat i-limit ang mga high-fat foods. Ang seafood tulad ng mackerel, yellow croaker, shrimp, crab, and rubber fish ay dapat iwasan, dahil maaaring magdulot ng mas malala na cough o asthma. Iwasan ang tobacco, alcohol, cold, and spicy foods, at kontrolin ang salt intake. Kainin ang mga mabilis na digest at hindi mabilis na fermented na pagkain upang maiwasan ang constipation at intestinal gas.

Exercise section
Targeted exercises not only help prevent and treat chronic bronchitis, but also promote blood circulation, improve metabolism and microcirculation, and enhance lung function. Here are several simple and effective methods:
1. Breathing exercises:
(1) Inhale, slowly extend arms upward, forming an obtuse angle with the trunk.
(2) Exhale, lower arms. Inhale through nose, exhale through mouth, and purse lips during exhalation to increase resistance. Deep inhalation, slow exhalation.
2. Chest expansion exercise:
Raise arms, elbows bent halfway, fists clenched, palms down. Expand chest, push arms backward with force.
3. Abdominal breathing:
Stand upright (also applicable sitting or lying down). Place one hand on the chest, one on the abdomen. Practice abdominal breathing: inhale deeply, expand the abdomen, keep chest still; exhale, contract the abdomen, expel as much air as possible. Breathe rhythmically, with an inhalation-to-exhalation ratio of 1:2 or 1:3. Exercise twice daily, 10–20 minutes per session.
4. Acupressure:
(1) Use the large fleshy part of the thumb to rub from the Yintang point, moving downward along both sides of the nose to the Yingxiang point beside the nostrils. Apply moderate pressure; the goal is to feel warmth and tears in the nasal area, and improved nasal airflow.
(2) Press firmly with index fingers on both Yingxiang points (located beside the nostrils), rotating left and right for 15–20 times. The point should feel firm and sore. Ensure accurate placement.
5. Moxibustion:
Use a lit moxa stick to gently burn a set of acupoints that strengthen the body, regulate the lungs, and boost immunity:
First group: LU 13 (Fei Shu, located 1.5 cun lateral to the third thoracic vertebra), CV 6 (Qi Hai, located 1.5 cun below the navel), ST 36 (Zu San Li, located 3 cun below the outer knee, about one finger width lateral to the tibia).
Second group: GV 14 (Da Zhu, located at the seventh cervical vertebra), BL 17 (Ge Shu, located 1.5 cun lateral to the seventh thoracic vertebra), CV 4 (Guan Yuan, located 3 cun below the navel).
Alternate between the two groups, each session lasting 20–30 minutes. A course consists of 30 sessions, followed by a 3–5 day break before starting the next course.
