Especially during this dry season of "Metal", according to Chinese Medicine, when lungs are particularly vulnerable and allergy symptoms surge, it's important to protect and nourish these vital organs.

5 Tips For Lung Health
1. Air: Get an Air Purifier for your home and office - HERE is a top quality, affordable option.
2. Nutrition: Eat plenty of Asian Pears - they nourish the lungs and keep them moist. Garlic fights infection and helps detox the lungs. Ginger is anti-inflammatory and helps clear the lungs naturally. Reishi Mushroom heals, protects and revitalizes lung tissue.
3. Travel: Get out of town, especially if you are in a really smoky area.
4. Exercise: Avoid jogging in heavily polluted areas or near busy roads. Wait for a clear day, get closer to the beach, or exercise indoors (for the time being) where the air is filtered.
5. Treat: Get an acupuncture and cupping treatment as well as an Herbal Consult to optimize detoxification and heal lung tissue.
