Detox for Lungs


Detox for Lungs

There are various chemical substances are contained in the air that is invisible, those chemicals are absorbed in mucosa of nose, mouth, throat, wind pipe, bronchus and lungs.                                               It is said that oral and dermal absorption of toxic are only about 20%, but the rest of 80% is from airway, because the surface area of Lungs to absorb the air intake is so large like about 1 tennis court size. 


Air and the other materials entered through the mouth or nose is carried to the lungs, passes through the heart and spreads through the whole blood vessels.
                                                   Because it runs through the whole body without the detoxification process of the liver and it’s easy to accumulate in the body.



---  Toxics of Airway absorption  ---
PM 2.5 (air pollutant, exhaust gas), virus, mold, bacterium, pesticide, photochemical oxidant (OX = photochemical smog), building material (asbestos), dioxin, fragrance (synthetic perfume, environmental hormone = endocrine disrupting chemicals), insecticides, tobacco etc. It is absorbed by breathing the air contaminated with chemical substances outside and indoor air generated from residential building materials.

Also the brain has a gateway ( blood brain barrier ) that any harmful substances cannot get through there, but the fragrance is absorbed directly from the nose to the brain by mucosal absorption. 
We’ll get used to the smell when you keep to use it and tend to prefer a stronger fragrance that the amount of harmful chemicals increases even though it is invisible, but there are certain impacts on the brain, that decreases neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin ( that sometimes induces depression… )



--- How to Detox the Lungs ! ---                                                                                                             (= Keep to have the adequate immune function of respiratory organs in a daily life ) 
lung detoxification can be said to remove foreign matter attached 
tmucous membranes of the immunity of nose, 
mouth, throat, wind pipe, bronchus and lungs.

 Nose-Breathing                                                                                                                            

Because of the structure, mouth breathing is easier 
for foreign matter to reach the deep inside of the lung, 
so keep in mind to do “ Nose-Breathing “  
that conducts the foreign matter is attached 
on the mucosa to prevent   
go deep into the lung more 
than mouth breathing...

Reducing to take milk and dairy products: Due to the use of chemicals and antibiotics in large-scale animal farming, dairy products are not as healthy as ever before, while dairy products are proteins that produce mucous more in the body and solidify It causes the increase of phlegm. 
The immune system will be weaken when the phlegm is increased.


Steam Sauna : Taking moisture in deep breathing produces flexibility of mucus that the immunity keeps to be                   normal especially in Fall and Winter time.                                                                   The immunity will be weaken when the respiratory organs are dried.                                                                           There is also a relaxing effect that activates parasympathetic nerve that increases immune function as well.


 Linden green tea: This tea has an effect to regulate the lung function and strengthen it, and to prevent disease of the lungs. 
    - Recipe - 1 tablespoon of green tea leaves, 1 tablespoon of linden, 1 cup of hot water, 1 tablespoon of honey. This recipe is considered based on the research results conducted at Maryland Medical Center University several years ago. In the study, it is known that green tea seamed to prevent the onset of lung cancer, and its excellent antioxidant effect. Linden's flower language is "couple love “.


Homemade “ VapoRub™ “                       Reduces mucus, cough, stress, stuffed nose for improve the respiratory function by make it ourself by natural ingredients and rub our chest area.
