There is a pair of useful integrative products to help us breath easier during forest fire season, as well as minimize long-term damage to our lungs. Omega Alpha’s “Resprit” and “Lung Flush” are 2 liquid herbal formulas based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory that could help ease your breathing whether it is due to seasonal allergies or periodic air pollutants. Resprit’s soothing herbs such as chrysanthemum, peppermint, and Japanese honey suckle can nourish the airways and facilitate breathing. It works great for asthma sufferers and can be used in conjunction with your prescription inhalers. The long-term effects of chronic inhalation of air pollutants is discerning. Lung Flush’s Luo Han Guo, skullcap, and mulberry leaf, among others, can help maximize the lungs’ capacity to detoxify the polluted air, and minimize the chances of toxins depositing in your lung tissues.
