Lungs - a very important organ, on which human well-being and the functioning of the whole body strongly depend. Since the lungs are, one might say, a kind of filter, over time, all impurities existing in the air we breathe accumulate in them. So the question of cleaning them is important for any person, although it is most relevant for smokers and those who quit this destructive habit.
Sources of lung contamination
Naturally, the main one (non-smoking) is the air itself, especially in cities. There is dust, gasoline exhausts, and factory emissions. The second source is food, which a modern person is very far from ideal. All sorts of harmful goodies, additives, preservatives, GMOs, alcohol - all this contributes to the accumulation of harmful substances and mucus in the respiratory system. Lack of movement (and, accordingly, more rare and shallow breathing) also contributes to the pollution of the respiratory system. And all these reasons lead to the fact that there is nothing left but to cleanse the lungs.
Smoking cessation tips
Giving up cigarettes in itself is a necessary, important and positive step. But very logical reasoning should follow after it: it is necessary to find out how to clean the lungs of nicotine and help them in the process of self-cleaning. The easiest way to help this can be called walking along the pine forest. If there is none nearby, replace them with a long walk with the subsequent lighting of a coniferous incense stick. How to clean the lungs by inhalation, it is clear to anyone - with them all at least once, but faced. It is important to choose what to breathe, that is, lime blossom, juniper, eucalyptus, fir, pine, mint. And do not forget that after the procedures you can not go out or speak for half an hour. An interesting method for cleansing the lungs is a Russian bath. If you also steam with a birch broom, the effect will intensify at times. And when coughing oils are added to the stones, the process will go even faster.
Those who have recently joined the ranks of non-smokers will have to learn to breathe again - meaning proper breathing. A good way to clean the smoker's lungs is butter with warmed milk, after which you can do gymnastics or go for a walk in the park, along the river or in any other place away from the roads.
What people advise
And in the “pre-medical” times, people monitored the health of their respiratory organs. There were many ways to cleanse the lungs. For example, an infusion of licorice root (2 tsp) and flowers from a linden tree (1 tbsp); weeds are poured with boiling water for half an hour. If you drink this potion regularly 3 times a day, the lungs will become like new. The people also advise the root of elecampane. If 15 g of a miracle plant is poured into a glass of boiling water, insisted for half an hour and drunk with honey, often in small sips, mucus and toxins from the lungs will leave.
Nature healer
Well, if you never smoked, but just want to improve your respiratory system, find a boarding house on the seashore for the upcoming summer vacation, where there are also pine forests nearby. Two weeks under such conditions will be wonderful to support, refresh and disinfect your lungs.
