How to clean the smoker's lungs at home

Cigarettes are drugs like marijuana or heroin, only affordable and legal. Nicotine is not just addictive, but gradually destroys the body of a smoker. Poisonous substances that enter the lungs along with smoke settle on the alveoli and glue them, irritate the mucous membrane and promote the development of oncology. People who do not want to die at an early age from tissue hypoxia or cancer should throw away cigarettes and cleanse their respiratory organs.

General cleaning of the lungs

First you need to free the alveoli from the accumulated resins and soothe the inflamed mucosa. Decoctions and other natural remedies that stimulate sputum discharge are recommended. The body, along with mucus, removes the toxic effects of nicotine addiction and is gradually restored.

How to help the lungs? Drink herbal teas regularly, for the preparation of which you can buy:

• oregano and violet tricolor: a spoonful of each plant in a glass of boiling water;
• crushed licorice or elecampane root: 15–20 g of raw material per cup of hot water;
• pine buds: 30 g per 250 ml of boiling water.

Take the broth for at least a month to make it easier to breathe, and chronic bronchitis has disappeared. At the same time, immunity should be restored. A bay leaf that needs to be laid out in the corners of the apartment will do. The spice cleans the air of bacteria and relieves coughing attacks.

Weakened immunity needs a lot of vitamin C. Citruses saturate the body with ascorbic acid, so a paste of ground lemons and honey should be taken daily. Take the products in equal parts, beat in a blender and pour into a jar. Do not remove the peel from lemons, it has many useful components. Eat daily on a tablespoon of pasta, preferably on an empty stomach, if acidity is normal and does not torment heartburn.

Oats, viburnum and onion syrup

What product was given to Soviet workers as harmful? Milk. It absorbs toxins, helps the lungs get rid of residues of tar and mucus. The only drawback of the product is that it is poorly absorbed by the adult digestive system, and the older the person, the higher the likelihood of bloating and other unpleasant symptoms.

Oat helps neutralize the harmful properties of milk. From a glass of unrefined grains, one portion of the remedy is obtained. Rinse oats under running water, pour into a saucepan and pour two cups of milk. Put the mass on a strong fire, and after boiling, reduce power to a minimum. Cook until approximately a glass of milk has evaporated.

Crush the oat porridge to make a thick jelly. Smokers with little experience are recommended to eat 100 g of the product once a day 30 minutes before lunch. People with shortness of breath and chronic bronchitis should consume 2 servings per day. Enough for a weekly course, which can be repeated in a few months.

Red berries against nicotine
Kalina dilutes sputum and removes it from the lungs. A decoction of dried fruit is drunk three times a day, adding to a cup of 2-3 tablespoons of honey. To prepare a cleansing drink, you should brew a glass of berries with a liter of boiling water. Boil the broth for 5 minutes, pour the filtered tea into a thermos.

In autumn, you can eat fresh berries, grated with sugar or linden honey.

Resin and inflammation syrup
Finely chop a large onion, put on a saucer. Sprinkle with sugar and send to a warm place so that the product starts juice. Express the syrup and divide into 4 servings that you need to drink in a day. Peel onions once a week.

You can prepare a therapeutic syrup according to another recipe. It will take a few onions and garlic heads without husks. Spread shredded components in a jar in layers, smearing each with honey. Put the container in the sun and wait 4-5 hours until enough juice stands out.

Separate the syrup from the onion-garlic mass, store in a glass bottle or jar. Every day, drink several tablespoons of the product on a full stomach so as not to burn the mucous membrane.

Cleansing the lungs with needles

Former smokers should take a walk in the pine forest. Breathe in fresh air and stock up on raw materials to cleanse your lungs. Go for a walk in the spring, when young shoots appear on pine branches. They are bright green, have soft delicate needles.

It will take half a bucket of shoots and sugar. You need to prepare the medicine in a liter jar, which must be sterilized. Spread the components in layers, ramming the mass tightly. Cork the jar and hide it in a cold place. Get it after 15-20 days and separate the syrup from the needles. Use a dessert spoon three times a day.

Diet for healthy lungs

To restore the structure of the alveoli, the body needs an easily digestible protein. The component is found in chicken breast, beef and low-fat fish. Useful fruits, because they contain antioxidants. Substances reduce the likelihood of oncology and repair damaged lung and bronchial cells.

Water has thinning properties, so at least 1.5 liters of clean, non-carbonated liquid should be drunk per day to facilitate sputum discharge. Fruit or vegetable juices, rosehip decoctions and green tea, in which antioxidants are also present, are useful.

Rich cabbage soup and soups should be replaced with chicken stock. The dish is rich in amino acids that thin the sputum and improve its expectoration. You can season the broth with ginger root or horseradish paste. Such additives contain allicin, which cleanses the bronchi and lungs of mucus and nicotine tar residues.

Gymnastics and the right microclimate

Former smokers should get acquainted with yoga, love the long evening walks and the pool. To restore the lungs, they need to be regularly trained: running, cycling, cardio training. The loads in the first few months should be moderate, because the respiratory organs and the cardiovascular system are just starting to update and are too weak for intensive workouts.

In addition to charging or running, the respiratory complex should be performed daily:

1. Gather air through your nose and exhale forcefully through your mouth to stimulate expectoration. Repeat 25-30 times.
2. Standing straight, draw air into the lungs all the way. Hold your breath, counting to 3, and then fold your lips with a tube and stretch forward. Without puffing out your cheeks, blow half the air through your mouth. Hold your breath again for 3 seconds. Blow out the remaining carbon dioxide. Repeat 4-7 times.

• almond;
• eucalyptus;
• mint;
• cedar.

The air in the house must be regularly moistened so that it is not too dry and does not irritate the bronchi. In winter, open the window for 10-15 minutes, and in summer leave the windows open for the whole day so that oxygen enters the room.

After how long will the lungs clear of mucus and tar? Depends on the experience, general health of the former smoker and the individual characteristics of his body. Some will need 3-4 months, while others will not be enough years to get rid of bronchitis and shortness of breath. You need to regularly exercise, take decoctions and monitor the diet in order to accelerate lung recovery and eliminate the effects of smoking.
