Supplementing with immune-boosting herbs and vitamins may help treat pneumonia. Focus on vitamins A and C, which are easy to obtain from food sources such as citrus fruits, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Herbal supplements may help boost the immune system, fight viral and bacterial germs, and help with wound healing. These include echinacea, astragalus, turmeric, goldenseal, cayenne pepper, and pleurisy root. Taking a probiotic supplement will also contribute to keeping the digestive tract clean and supporting immune system health.

Most essential oils contain potent antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and congestion-relieving properties. To make a homemade mixture, add five drops each of tea tree and eucalyptus oils to boiling water. Pour the water into a bowl and inhale the steam until the fragrance runs out. Gently blow the nose to clear the sinuses of congestion. Repeat as many times as needed. Taking a hot detox bath with essential oils may also help. Experiment with other antibacterial essential oils such as lemon, lavender, and camphor.
