Your entire body is affected by the lack of oxygen getting into the bloodstream and being delivered to every cell. “The Breath of Life'” applies to each and every cell in your body.
Smoking is such a nasty habit and nicotine such an addictive drug that it is hard for many people to quit smoking even though they know it would be good for their health. One has to value their health over the habit to successfully terminate that behavior. It takes a lot of Will Power.
When you do quit smoking, you might notice that there are visible improvements in many aspects of your general health. Your complexion is more rosy and natural with improved circulation and tone. Your energy levels increase. There are little things that you wouldn’t even consider to be affected by smoking that change. You will find that you have a lot more time on your hands, now that you aren’t holding a cigarette for hours a day.
You’ll have your life back!
Even though it may seem like it’s the most difficult thing in the world to do: Stop Smoking.
In TCM, we find that the Lung meridian has been injured by ‘cold’ and tobacco is a ‘warming’ plant; so it’s only natural to be drawn to smoking tobacco as a way to resolve the imbalance in the Lung meridian. There are other plants and foods that can be helpful in the treatment for this imbalance without resorting to smoking…
Acupuncture has been shown to be instrumental in facilitating success when a person wants to quit smoking. It may take a number of appointments, but it does bring about a change that supports the willful intentions of the individual to quit.
We often wonder how to clear the lungs and soothe the tissue of the lungs. Air pollution, strong chemicals used in the workplace, particulate that causes inflammation, and so many other factors can irritate the delicate tissue. You can always move to the country. In lieu of that major transition, you can use natural approaches to clear the lungs. We like drinking Fenugreek Seed Tea and slicing Lotus Root for side dishes, soups, and salads. The Prince of Peace company makes a Honey Loquat Syrup that is very soothing for the throat and helps to dissolve phlegm.
There are excellent air filtration systems on the market now. Indoor air quality is just as important as it is outdoors, because of the time you spend at home. The use of natural cleaning products and household products lend to the health of your lungs. You can diffuse Essential Oils like Purification into a room to enhance the quality of the air that you breathe.
Whichever method you choose to take care of your lungs, just remember how important they are with every breath you take! Breathe deeply and nourish every cell in your body with life-sustaining oxygen and clean air.
