Cold Dry Weather Effect on your Lungs

Our present weather of cold, dry (and damp) on your lungs causes narrowing of the airways, which can trigger coughing, wheezing and excess mucous production for some. This extra mucous production in itself can then attract circulating bacteria and viruses. For this reason and many others, try keeping your mouth closed and breathe through your nose, wrapping warming scarves etc. over your mouth, as this can make it easier for you to breathe through your nose.

The act of breathing through the nose also helps create nitric oxide in the nasal cavities, which is antiviral in itself. Nasal breathing also increases circulation in the lungs and helps the tiny wafting cilia move better.

Keep your lungs warm and microbes away with a daily 5 ml dose of our Onion and Horseradish Concentrate (link: https://tinyurl.com/4rjtbthf).
