Heal the Lungs. 20+ ways.
I always felt starved for oxygen and could always tell the oxygen content of any building back when my lungs were damaged.
Having Multiple Chemical Sensitivity really damaged my lungs. I developed asthma and coughed a lot for two years. This may not seem so bad for many people, but strenuous African dance was my joy. I had just gotten certified as a Zumba teacher and I used bike transportation by choice. So this took from me my biggest pleasures. I couldn’t do any cardio indoors anymore.
Even, after I stopped having reactions to laundry detergents, and such, when the rest of me was not very sensitive to chemicals anymore, my lungs were still very sensitive. I went to several doctors, they always told me I was healthy and sent me off. I couldn’t find anyone who knew how to heal the lungs. I knew that my lungs were not well. My lungs would hurt when exposed to any chemicals. I knew how much oxygen was in any given environment and could hardly stand to be in a place with closed windows. I could not tolerate any kind of candles, smoke or lung irritants. I felt I could never get enough air. When people are dying they give them oxygen because the cells are oxygen-starved. I knew this was me, I wanted an oxygen tank. I felt like a 90-year-old as far as lungs go. For 3 years I had diminished lung capacity, coughing, and pain that would come and go.
I am happy to report that my lungs are very much better than 2 years ago. I never feel starved for oxygen like I used to. If I am exposed to lots of lung irritants I feel it, but my lungs are 95% better than they were. Little by little I could let go of the inhaler. I have not used it for 2 years.
Even after I cured my asthma, I had a low-grade chronic cough. This was healed, in part, by doing an energy healing ceremony which I have since been taught and initiated in. (email evespotofgold@gmail.com for more info).
Lung support remedies are common in Ayurveda, Chinese, American Indian, and European traditional medicine. Each tradition has different herbs and foods which support the lungs.
Here are some things I know that heal the lungs:
