Home lung cleansing techniques may prove helpful for smokers, who are regularly exposed to air pollution, and who suffer from chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis.
Inhaling polluted air, cigarette smoke, and other toxins can damage your lungs and even cause he alth problems.
According to the World He alth Organization (WHO), exposure to air pollution causes 4.2 million deaths worldwide each year. Cigarette smoking causes the death of one in five people in the United States.
Lung he alth is critical to overall he alth. The lungs are self-cleaning organs that will begin to heal when exposure to contamination has stopped - for example, when we quit smoking.
When your lungs are exposed to contaminants, your chest may become overflowing, bloodshot, or inflamed. The mucus builds up in the lungs to trap germs and pathogens, contributing to a feeling of heaviness.
Using certain techniques can help clear mucus and irritants from your lungs to relieve chest congestion and other unpleasant symptoms.
Some of these methods can also "open" the airways, improve lung capacity, and reduce inflammation, which can help reduce the effects of pollution and smoke in the lungs.
