How to Clean Lungs Naturally

Your lungs are a vital part of your respiratory system, which is in charge of breathing 1. Their function is to bring in oxygen so it can be distributed throughout your body. Every day, your lungs are bombarded by toxins, such as environmental pollution, allergens, dust, cigarette smoke and microorganisms. These substances can scar your lungs, reduce your body’s oxygen intake and weaken your breathing. Natural remedies can help clear your lungs of these harmful toxins.
