Learn More »Lung cleansing techniques may benefit people who smoke, people who get regular exposure to air pollution, and those with chronic conditions affecting the respiratory system, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis. Breathing in air pollution, cigarette smoke, and other irritants can damage the lungs and even cause health conditions. Maintaining the health of the lungs is essential for keeping the rest of the body healthy. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), exposure to air pollution results in 4.2 million deaths worldwide each year. Cigarette smoking is the cause of death for 1 in every 5 people in the United States. As the lungs are self-cleaning organs, this means they can begin to heal themselves once exposure to pollutants stops. In this article, we discuss some of the methods that people can use to try to cleanse their lungs. Is it possible to cleanse your lungs? Share on Pinterest Laurence Monneret/Getty Images It is possible for a person to “cleanse” their lungs and improve lung health. The best way for a person to ensure their lungs are healthy is to avoid harmful toxins, such as cigarette smoke and air pollution. Additionally, a person can also incorporate certain lifestyle behaviors, such as regular exercise and eating well. After lung pollutant exposure, a person’s chest may feel full, congested, or inflamed. Mucus gathers in the lungs to catch microbes and pathogens, which can contribute to a feeling of heaviness. People may be able to use specific techniques to help clear the lungs of mucus and irritants to relieve chest congestion and other uncomfortable symptoms. Some of these methods may also open up the airways, improve lung capacity, and reduce inflammation, which can further help reduce the effects of lung pollutants. Ways to clear the lungs Below, we look at breathing exercises and lifestyle changes that can help remove excess mucus from the lungs and improve breathing. 1. Steam therapy Steam therapy, or steam inhalation, involves inhaling water vapor to open the airways and may also help to loosen mucus. People with lung conditions may notice their symptoms worsening in cold or dry air. This climate can dry out the mucous membranes in the airways and restrict blood flow. Conversely, steam adds warmth and moisture to the air, which may improve breathing and help loosen mucus inside the airways and lungs. Inhaling water vapor can provide immediate relief and help people breathe more easily. Some evidence notes that steam inhalation can be helpful for soothing a sore throat, loosening thick mucus, and provide benefit after being in an environment with pollutants. This therapy may be an effective temporary solution, but researchers need to carry out more studies before they fully understand the benefits of steam therapy on lung health. 2. Controlled coughing Coughing is the body’s way of naturally expelling toxins that it has trapped in mucus. Controlled coughing loosens excess mucus in the lungs, sending it up through the airways. Doctors may recommend that people with lung conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), perform this exercise to help clear their lungs. People can cleanse their lungs of excess mucus by: sitting down on a chair with the shoulders relaxed, keeping both feet flat on the floor
