Caring For Your Lungs Naturally

The best natural method in caring for your lungs is detoxification. This clears your lungs of any toxins, cleanses your air passages, and ensures optimum function.

The process of detoxification can be made possible with the use of essential oils. One common method of using essential oils to enhance your lung health is through diffusion, wherein a few drops of the essential oil is placed into a diffuser  until the essential oil is broken down into molecular size and then easily dispersed into the room so you are able to inhale the essential oil  into your lungs and respiratory systems to facilitate in the process of lung detoxification.

Recommended Essential Oils For Lung Health

The biggest challenge in naturally improving your lung condition lies in choosing the most appropriate essential oil that to use for treatment and preventive care. Aromatherapy has been utilized throughout history to boost overall health,  due to its ability to provide the vital organs in the body with the nutrients it needs and provide adequate support to your respiratory system.  Aromatherapy not only targets your lungs, but provides overall wellness.

The  inhalation method is considered the most ideal method of application in treating lung diseases. You can either put drops of essential oil into a humidifier that breaks down the oil into mist form for easy inhalation, or add a few drops onto a piece of cloth to easily sniff. The antibacterial and other essential properties contained in the oil can then be easily transported into your lungs to bring about healing. But a key reminder from expert aromatherapists is to purchase only therapeutic grade essential oils to ensure that it is able to bring about the benefits to your lungs.

Peppermint Oil

Peppermint oil is extracted from a plant known as Peppermint Eucalyptus, which belongs to the mint family. It comes with a distinct menthol and mint fragrance that makes it quite useful for a wide range of aromatherapy application. The mature leaves is used for the extraction of essential oils, which comes with highly aromatic oil with thick consistency.  Peppermint oil is very effective in relieving common fever, but continued research about its properties reveal that there are actually a lot more essential properties in this oil that make it useful for other medicinal purposes.

Peppermint oil is a top choice of natural oils because of its treatment against lung infections or other conditions affecting this organ in the body. Peppermint's mucolytic and antibacterial properties  relieves thick mucus formation. However, aromatherapists advise against taking peppermint oil internally. The best method of application for peppermint oil in treating lung diseases is through diffusion such that the aromatic properties provide quick relief and the properties penetrate into your lungs for thorough healing.  You can also rub a few drops of peppermint oil diluted in a carrier oil on your chest for immediate relief.

Frankincense Oil

Frankincense essential oil is ideal for airway blockages in your lung system. However, even expert aromatherapists do not recommend relying mainly on frankincense oil as the sole source of treatment but must only be used as a complementary therapy to your usual medical care. By doing so, it promotes the process of lung tissue regeneration to speed up the healing process.

It is also important to combine your essential oil treatment with proper diet so you can boost your respiratory system’s overall immunity against certain diseases. Some individuals who are at risk of lung diseases and other respiratory ailments carry with them a bottle of frankincense essential oil at all times such that they can conveniently sniff into the bottle during attack. In some cases, rubbing the frankincense oil on the chest can provide immense relief when having difficulty breathing, excessive coughing, and a tightness sensation on your chest.
