How does the lung detoxify?

We all know that the lungs are the organs our body uses for breathing. The lungs go directly to our oropharynx through the bronchi and trachea, which means that the air we breathe is sent to the lungs. With the current severe environmental pollution, we will definitely inhale a lot of toxic substances into the lungs. Then the toxins in the lungs need to be discharged from the body, but we don’t know how the lungs detoxify? Let me introduce it to you below.

At this time, you can use coughing to clear toxins from the lungs. Practice deep breathing in a place with fresh air in the morning or after rain. When taking a deep breath, slowly raise your arms, then suddenly cough, and quickly lower your arms to let air spray out of your mouth and nose to cough out the phlegm. Repeat this many times every day to keep your lungs clean, which can help detoxify the lungs. In addition, you can also eat more black fungus, because the plant gum contained in black fungus has strong adsorption capacity, which can clear the lungs and clean the blood. Regular consumption can also effectively remove pollutants from the body.

Radish is a detoxifying food for the lungs. In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the large intestine and the lungs have the closest relationship. The extent to which the lungs expel toxins depends on whether the large intestine is unobstructed. Radishes can help the large intestine excrete old feces. They can be eaten raw or mixed into a cold dish.

Lily improves the lung's ability to resist toxins. The lungs don’t like dry air. In dry conditions, toxins can easily accumulate. Mushrooms and lilies have good lung-nourishing and yin-nourishing effects, which can help the lungs fight toxins. When eating them, the processing time should not be too long, otherwise the juice in the lilies will be reduced and the anti-toxin effect will be greatly reduced.

Press the key points for lung detoxification. The acupoint that is beneficial to the lungs is the Hegu point, which is located on the back of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, at the midpoint of the radial side of the 2nd metacarpal bone. You can pinch this area with your thumb and index finger and press hard.

In this way, everyone understands how the lungs detoxify. The lungs are one of our more important organs. Because we need it for breathing, and the reason why we can breathe and live normally is because we have lungs. Of course, we should take good care of our lungs. It is best to wear a mask when going out, and we should also help the lungs detoxify in time to ensure our health.
