Natural Cures for Blebs

Tissue inflammation of any kind can be uncomfortable and even painful. Depending on the type of bleb you have, you may have to try different treatments to find one that works; however, this condition is treatable. Some of the best remedies for blebs are hydrogen peroxide, coconut oil, and garlic.

What Is A Bleb?

Blebs manifest in a variety of ways and locations. However, any type of bleb is considered a relatively large blister filled with bodily fluid.

Symptoms of blebs vary depending on the type. However, common indicators include an unexplained blister-like structure somewhere on your body, inflammation, and tenderness.

What Causes Blebs?

The cause of a bleb or bullae depends on the type. One of the most common forms is pulmonary, which is sometimes caused by underlying lung diseases or other respiratory concerns. Eye blebs are generally caused by ophthalmic procedures. However, blebs often form in individuals with no apparent health conditions.

Are There Any Effective Natural Remedies for Bullae?

While there are several different types of blebs, most respond well to natural treatment. In any case, doctor supervision is advisable as professional medical care can help prevent more aggressive issues and conditions and help you determine the best plan for treatment. Nonetheless, hydrogen peroxide, coconut oil, and garlic are three effective options for treating blebs.

1. Hydrogen Peroxide

Most frequently used for treating pulmonary blebs, hydrogen peroxide helps naturally dissolve a bleb. The hydrogen breaks down in the body, releasing additional oxygen in the body. Once oxygenated, the cells of the bleb break down, and the growth diminishes. You can use hydrogen peroxide by adding a small amount to your humidifier at night and allowing it to run and circulate in your system all night long.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is often used for massaging an external bleb. The oil is naturally anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, so it helps treat any underlying infection as well as reduce inflammation. Simply use a small amount of oil to massage the raised area several times a day gently.

3. Garlic

Garlic is another effective treatment option. Garlic contains allicin, an anti-inflammatory compound. This compound helps reduce inflammation at the sight of a bleb and treat infection in the tissue. The best way to apply this treatment is to eat several cloves of raw garlic a day simply; however, you can also take garlic in capsule form.

These natural treatments should help remedy tissue inflammation in a few days. Give one of our remedies a try, or continue reading below for our reader-contributed list.

Bleb Remedies

I'm glad I found this web site. I was just diagnosed with one large and three or four small blebs. The Pulmonologist tells me what they COULD do (Chest tube or surgery). He tells me what they WON'T do (either). He tells me we'll wait and see and I'll have another CT in one year. In hindsight this "cough" has been around for 2 years and only recently gotten worse. The last 6 weeks I've developed a wheeze when coughing. If something is worsening I'm not comfortable with a wait and see attitude.

Starting tomorrow I will try the peroxide in with the humidifier at night. I will also try enough garlic in capsule form to equal 3 gloves a day. I won't be able to follow up with anything definitive until my next CT scan but I've book marker this page and will update any changes, good or bad during the next year.

I had a pneumothorax in my left lung last yearJyear which was cause by a raptured bleb or bollus. I had to under go an operation and since then my left lung has never given me any problem again. I used to have pains since I was about 13 (I'm 17 now) and it would normally alternate between my left and right side. I literally just started developing pains yesterday on my right side again which is probably because of the transition into winter. Normally laying down on my stomach or on the side that isn't paining helps me relive the pain. Arcoxia is the one medication that's really really helped me and hasn't had any side affects. I'm also a serious athlete hoping to go pro soon and take my fitness and health really seriously. I'm going to try out these 3 suggestions and report back if they help. I first hand know how painful and devastating it is to have a pneumothorax and I'll be the happiest if I can give someone the knowledge I wish I had now when I was going through it all.

Surgery really really helps and if you're looking for medication that actually relieves the pain within 3 to 4 days max, I recommend Arcoxia (mild strength).

Please Help. My son is 41 has been a smoker for 20 plus years. He was admitted to the hospital 5 days ago with a collapsed lung. Results of CT showed blebs in both lungs. The dr said they were the largest he had ever seen covering about 1/3 or more of his upper lungs. One dr had a dismal prognosis. He has a small leak but difficult to do surgery to close the leak because it may cause problems in future for surgery on blebs. We are believing for ievine healing. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Eileen, putting a squirt of hydrogen peroixde in a humidifier near him might be a first step.
