When we are talking about the lungs, then we are referring to the organs that are independent enough to cleanse themselves…LOL! (Independent). According to the chest specialist in Punjab, “All the cigarette smokers complain that they feel heavy in chests. It is quite consequential as the toxic substances when entered through the lungs makes the person feel full congested in the chest. This congestion happens as a great accumulation of the mucus in the lungs catches up with the microbes and the pathogens.”

How to know which doctor should be visited?

Usually, whenever the patients do not know which kind of lung specialist should they visit to get treated with the particular condition, they prefer to approach the pulmonologists in Ludhiana which is a wise decision in itself as the pulmonologist will refer you to the specialist in case he finds the particular problem demands the expertise treatment from the particular kind of the doctor.

Usually, all the lung specialist tells about the various techniques to clear the lungs:

• Steam Therapy

Steam therapy involves the inhalation of the steam and the water vapours to clear the passage of the airways. The passage clearance will help the lungs to drain the mucus.

When mucus has no way to get drained then it keeps on accumulating at a place with a thickened consistency. The inhalation of the water vapour does not only provide immediate relief from the congestion but also help you to breathe conveniently.

• Controlled Coughing

Coughing is one of the best ways with the help of which the body can naturally eliminate the toxic toxins that are trapped in the mucus. If you know how to carry out the controlled coughing, then excessive mucus may start getting loosened.

• Postural Drainage Technique

One of the best postural drainage technique till date is as follow:

After lying down on either the floor or the bed, the chest is to be placed in the position that the chest comes out to be lower than the hips. Once the right posture is attained, then the patient is supposed to inhale through the nose and then exhale with the help of the mouth. The exhale should be longer than inhalation which makes it ideal for 1:2. After continuing it for a few minutes, it will start showing the effect.

• Exercise

Each one of us is aware of the fact that exercise causes our breathing rate to shoot up, which does not let the mucus accumulate in one region of the body. Not every person can do all sorts of exercise owing to medical conditions. So it is advised to always consult the doctors before commencing with any of the exercise regimens.

• Green Tea

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and thus it helps out in the reduction of inflammation.

• Eat anti-inflammatory food

The consumption of anti-inflammatory foods is one of the best and easiest ways to cleanse the lungs and trigger them for effective functioning.
