Healthy airways and clear bronchi

Our respiratory muscles supply our body with oxygen 24 hours a day, seven days a week - a full-time job. Strong and full of elasticity - that's how we want our airways and lungs to be, preferably into old age. What few people know: You can do a lot to achieve this.

Frau holt tief Luft — Fresh air is important for healthy airways

A healthy lifestyle

Avoiding nicotine and regular exercise, for example. Exercise allows more oxygen to enter the bloodstream, increases lung volume and trains the bronchial muscles.

Anatomy of the lungs

The air we breathe passes through a complex system consisting of the upper and lower airways. A mucous membrane connects the two areas, moistens the airways and warms and cleans the air. The respiratory system - like our entire body - is subject to a natural ageing process. Its self-cleaning powers diminish, pathogens and pollutants remain in the body for longer, and you get coughs or bronchitis more often.

The right air

The ambient air is also important for lung health. To prevent illness, slow down the ageing process or cure infections, a sea climate is good, for example, as the salty breeze clears the lungs. A special distillate of essential oils can also provide support. The herbal expectorant helps to restore the self-cleansing powers in the long term. It provides quick relief for acute infections - for young and healthy lungs.
