Cleansing the lungs and bronchi with folk remedies

Cleansing of lungs and bronchi from mucus and sputum occursin the human body constantly and performs an important protective and purifying function. In the main bronchi and small bronchioles a continuous physiological purification process is carried out.

Located on the inner bronchial surface of the cell, with the help of special "cilia" deduce from them dust, mucus and foreign microbes. Thus, the respiratory organs perform regular self-cleaning, participating in the complex removal from the human body of the products of the decomposition of tissues, toxins and other wastes.

Causes of congestion of mucus and sputum in the lungs ^

• The accumulation of mucus and sputum in the lungs and bronchi occurs, as a rule, in the event of failure of a normal process of disposal.

• But it can also occur in a completely healthy person with excessive consumption of fatty foods, sweets and flour products.

• Inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system( pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis) also necessarily damage the epithelium of the bronchial tree to some extent. At the same time, the working cells replace the scar tissue, which serves only one purpose - the creation of a strong wall. This happens not immediately, but as a result of frequent exacerbations of chronic diseases of the respiratory system.
• The most common variant of affecting the bronchi is smoking. In the initial stages, this harmful habit causes an increased irritation of the internal surface of the bronchi and lung tissue with nicotine, causing a plentiful production of mucus in response. With increasing length of service, smokers completely lose the physiological mechanism of respiratory protection.

Sputum accumulates in large quantities in bronchi over time, causing a severe cough. Violation of the protective function creates favorable conditions for the penetration and rapid development of any infection, and swallowing sputum leads to slagging of the intestine. Therefore, it is very important to carry out the purification of the lungs from nicotine , in time to help the body get rid of excess mucus in the bronchi.
