Hundreds of potentially harmful toxins surround you in everyday life: lead paints, pesticides, pollution, plastics, smoke and heavy metals may enter your body through the air you breathe. Once inside, these toxins hinder the healthy functioning of your lungs and make them susceptible to infections and allergies. Detoxification helps cleanse the lungs, rids them of toxins and helps increase your immunity and improve overall health.
Step 1
Install air purifiers and sonic humidifiers in your home. This will help remove the excess phlegm from your chest.
Step 2
Consume a cup of green tea every day. You can brew the tea with herbs such as lobelia, comfrey and horehound. Add honey to the brew and drink it while hot.
Step 3
Perform deep breathing exercises regularly. Yoga pranayama and meditation can help increase lung capacity and provide cleansing.
Step 4
Consume warm milk boiled with cardamom every night before going to bed. Cardamom helps cleanse the lungs and expel excessive phlegm naturally.
Step 5
Consume citrus fruits. The vitamin C can naturally cleanse the blood and remove toxins.
