(29 July 2007) By now you’ve probably read about pH Balance, alkaline and acidity. Where acidity is caused by a lack of oxygen. A lack of oxygen may be caused by a pretty basic source: improper breathing, inefficient lungs, stuck up with old mucus.
I first got wind of this when I visited an accu-pressure healer. She first treated me to a steam bath, which exercises your lymph nodes and loosens mucus inside.
Then she used her accu-pressure expert hands to mechanically activate my lungs to expel / cough out old mucus. Neat technique. Then she introduced me to a lung cleansing herbal called Dyna Tonic distributed by Dynapharm. It is a traditional preparation manufactured in Malaysia and has some Chinese roots.
This got me interested in looking at other lung cleansing herbals. I went to healthy options and saw a Chinese preparation called Lung Cleanse.
I also remembered Barefoot Herbalist MH selling Air Restore:
A blend of Mullein and LobeliaAn aid for removing mucus from the lungs and restoring of lung capacitySuggested dose: 1 dropper in early morning commonly causes daily expelling of mucus from the lungs in the form of “HACKING” up globs of mucus. Only experienced should attempt larger doses as explained on the CD under Oregano Newsletter.
What do I suggest? Do lung cleansing via the means you can get your hands on. I am sure there are other methods and other herbs out there. Just stay away from pharmaceutical drugs aka poisons.
Restoring lung capacity allows you to breath in more oxygen. More oxygen allows you to be more alkaline. You can increase this effectivity by taking weekend vacations in clean provincial air.
If you remain in the city, do not live on top of those high rise condominiums where the air pressure is markedly lower. Your breathing will be impaired. You will receive less oxygen, and you will be more acidic.
