Greetings. As I sit here tonight, I am suffering from a chest infection which no amount of Olive Leaf Extract or vitamin C is helping in any way.
I started to look on the internet about herbs and various methods to help lung complaints - I was also a very heavy smoker for 20 years and smoked everything, basically and now I am paying for it. I quit smoking 5 months ago, but the toxic buildup is starting to loosen and the mucous is incredible, causing a lot of pain.
Anyway, after not getting very far on the internet, I put myself in the hands of my 'universal shamanic healers' - my ancestral spirits with a 'so, what do I do
now?' and this is the answer they gave:
1. Eucalyptus Oil + Himalayan Salt lamp.
Place the salt lamp and humidifier with eucalyptus oil inside on a bedside table and sleep with them both on all night.
2. Rhizome crops.
Turmeric, ginseng, ginger and sweet potato.
Take Turmeric and Panax Ginseng tablets and make ginger tea (chai) without any sugar or milk - make it very strong with ginger and cloves.
Give up dairy, sugar and bananas because they are mucous forming.
3. Allium crops -Garlic and onions.
These help break up mucous and act as a natural antibiotic.
4. Mustard seed oil - rubbed on the chest and back and taken internally can heat up the system and relieve the symptoms of a chesty cough.
5. Vitamin C - best in chelated form and in megadoses of up to 2000mg per day.
6. Drink plenty of water - boiled, filtered water - up to 12 glasses a day or 3 litres daily. This helps break down mucous, keeps the body hydrated and expels toxins.
7. Any highly aromatic herb - thyme, sage, oregano and basil - don't skimp on these when cooking and try to use fresh herbs. make your own herbal tea and sweeten with a bit of Manuka honey.
8. Capsicum, jalapeno and chilies - can clear up mucous, heat the system, is great for pain relief and makes breathing a lot easier.
9. Chest expanding exercises and gradual deep breathing - breathing through a straw is good...going to the ocean and breathing in all that natural ionised salt air:

10. Chair yoga - side stretches whilst sitting like trikonasana & backward bend:

This is what was shown to me and I thought I would share it or just post it while it was fresh in my mind.
