The lung is an essential organ for our lives, being responsible for distributing oxygen throughout the body and acting as a filter for everything we breathe, including those substances that can harm the proper functioning of our bodies, such as environmental pollutants, dust, smoke, microorganisms etc.
The lungs need special attention and care, especially from individuals who smoke, who live in cities that are exposed to a lot of contamination and those who suffer from a problem in this organ, with difficulty and pain in breathing. There are some natural remedies, such as teas, that help clean the lungs so they stay healthy.
