“Breathe Easy: Ayurvedic Tips for Healthy Lungs and a Strong Respiratory System”
🧘 Introduction:
Your lungs are not just organs that help you breathe — they’re your body’s silent warriors, filtering pollutants, delivering oxygen, and sustaining life.
But pollution, stress, weak immunity, and poor food habits can clog this beautiful system.
Ayurveda offers powerful, natural ways to cleanse, strengthen, and energize your lungs — using herbs, diet, and breathing rituals.
🌿 Key Ayurvedic Principles for Lung Health:
In Ayurveda, lungs are associated with the Prana Vaha Srotas — the energy channels that govern breath and vitality.
The health of this system depends largely on the balance of Kapha and Vata doshas.
When Kapha is aggravated, mucus builds up. When Vata is disturbed, breath becomes shallow or irregular.
🌱 Top Ayurvedic Herbs for Healthy Lungs:
| Herb | Benefits for Lungs | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Tulsi | Natural expectorant, fights infection | Tea, fresh leaves, kadha |
| Vasaka (Adulsa) | Clears mucus, helpful in asthma | Herbal syrup or decoction |
| Licorice (Mulethi) | Soothes throat & lungs, anti-inflammatory | Herbal powder, tea |
| Pippali (Long Pepper) | Improves breathing, reduces congestion | Churna with honey |
| Haridra (Turmeric) | Antioxidant, clears toxins | Turmeric milk, capsules |
🥗 Diet Tips for Lung Strength:
- Include warm, light, and nourishing foods
- Avoid cold drinks, deep-fried, dairy, or sugary items (they increase Kapha)
- Add ginger, black pepper, cinnamon to your food
- Drink herbal teas made with tulsi, turmeric, and licorice

| Practice | Benefit |
