How to Cleanse and Detox Your Lungs?

The lungs and respiratory system allow oxygen in the air to be taken into the body, while also enabling the body to get rid of carbon dioxide in the air breathed out.

Respiration is the term for the exchange of oxygen from the environment for carbon dioxide from the body's cells.

Here are the top 5 ways to cleanse and detox your lungs.

1. Deep Breathing Deep breathing can help improve lung capacity by delivering more nourishing oxygen to your body. This will strengthen your lungs, clear the airways and cleanse them.

Furthermore, it will increase energy and reduce stress.      

Lie flat on your back in a comfortable place.

Place your hands on your stomach at the base of the rib cage.

Close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose while counting to 5.

Hold your breath for 2 seconds, then slowly breathe out to a count of 5.

Repeat 9 or 10 times per session.

Do this breathing exercise 2 or 3 times a day.

2. Castor Oil Pack For lung cleansing, you can also make use of a homemade castor oil pack. A castor oil pack stimulates waste elimination and helps draw toxins out of the lungs as well as the uterus, digestive system and liver. It even reduces inflammation and improves lymphatic circulation.  Use only organic, cold-pressed castor oil to make the pack.  Soak 2 or 3 pieces of wool flannel in 1 cup of warm castor oil.

   

Lie down on a large plastic sheet.

Put the soaked wool flannels over your chest and sides, covering the lung areas.

Cover the flannels with a large plastic sheet.

Put a heating pad over the plastic sheet for 1 to 2 hours.

Finally, remove the packs and rinse your body off with warm water to get rid of the oil residue.

Repeat 2 times a week for at least a month.

3. Oregano (अजवायन की पत्ती) Oregano is rich in compounds like carvacrol and terpenes that act as lung-cleansing elements. The herb can help reduce inflammation and congestion in the lungs, and improve nasal passage airflow and the health of your respiratory tract.

Drink 2 cups of oregano tea daily when suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems. You can make the tea by steeping fresh or dried oregano in hot water for about 5 minutes.

To detoxify your lungs, add a few drops of oregano oil to a glass of warm milk or tea and drink it at least once a day.

Also, use fresh or dried oregano in your cooking.

4. Licorice Another effective herb that can cleanse your lungs is licorice. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help reduce inflammation of the bronchial tubes.

Furthermore, its antibacterial and antiviral properties help prevent and treat mild lung infections, as well as reduce lung irritation due to a sore throat, a dry cough or allergen exposure.

A 2002 study published in Planta Medica noted the antimycobacterial and antilegionella activity of licorice roots in the treatment of severe lung infections.  Drink 2 to 3 cups of licorice root tea for a few days when suffering from respiratory or lung problems. To make the, add 1 teaspoon of licorice powder to a cup of hot water, cover and steep for 10 minutes.  Another option is to mix ½ teaspoon of licorice powder with a little honey and have it twice daily for a few days.

Note: This herb may not be suitable for pregnant women, infants and people who have diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease or low potassium levels.

5. Ginger

You can also use ginger to detoxify your lungs. It contains several chemical compounds that help the lungs function more effectively by eliminating air pollutants from the air passages before they irritate the lungs. It also improves blood circulation.

Furthermore, ginger can even help in the treatment of lung cancer. A 2012 study published in Anticancer Agents in Medical Chemistry indicates the promising chemopreventive effect of ginger extracts against lung cancer.  Drink 2 to 3 cups of ginger tea daily to enjoy strong lungs. To make the tea, boil 1 teaspoon of sliced grated ginger in 1 or 1½ cups of water. Allow it to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain it and add a little lemon juice and honey for taste.  Include raw ginger in your cooking. You can also take a supplement after consulting your doctor.

Note: People who take heart or high blood-pressure medication should avoid taking ginger in excess.
