Quran
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً بِقَدَرٍ فَأَسْكَنَّاهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰ ذَهَابٍ بِهِ لَقَادِرُونَ
"And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away."
Surah Al-Mu'minun · 23:18
Referenced by classical scholars for understanding the importance of measured fluids in treating excess phlegm and moisture in respiratory conditions like bronchitis.
ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَا أَتَيْنَا طَائِعِينَ
"Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, 'Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion.' They said, 'We have come willingly.'"
Surah Fussilat · 41:11
Ibn Sina referenced smoke (dukhan) as harmful to the respiratory passages and bronchial tubes, advising avoidance of smoke inhalation in bronchial inflammation.
Sahih Hadith
عَلَامَ تَدْغَرْنَ أَوْلَادَكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعِلَاقِ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِهَذَا الْعُودِ الْهِنْدِيِّ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَةَ أَشْفِيَةٍ مِنْهَا ذَاتُ الْجَنْبِ
"Why do you torture your children by pressing their throats? Use this Indian costus (al-'ud al-hindi), for it contains seven types of cures, among them treatment for pleurisy (dhāt al-janb)."
Pleurisy and bronchitis share respiratory inflammation pathology; costus was used prophetically for chest and throat conditions involving phlegm and inflammation.
مَنْ تَصَبَّحَ بِسَبْعِ تَمَرَاتٍ عَجْوَةٍ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ سُمٌّ وَلَا سِحْرٌ
"Whoever takes seven 'Ajwa dates in the morning will not be harmed by poison or magic on that day."
Classical physicians interpreted this as strengthening the innate heat (harara ghariziyyah) which combats cold phlegmatic conditions like bronchitis.
