Respiratory System

Overall indications for nutritional aid
Frequent colds, sinus problems, bronchitis, asthma, congestion, etc.
Wheezing, shortness of breath.
Deep breathing makes chest feel congested
Excess or deficient mucus in lungs and/or sinuses


The respiratory system provides oxygen to the bloodstream.

The sinuses filter and humidify the air we breathe. They also regulate the temperature of incoming air.

The trachea, bronchi and bronchioles are lined with cilia-hairlike structures that beat continuously, pushing mucus and foreign particles up toward the pharynx.

The lungs filter the air we breathe and only allow microscopic particles to reach the alveoli.

In the alveoli, carbon dioxide leaves the body and oxygen enters the body through thin capillary walls.
A healthy diet, regular exercise, a minimum of stress and adequate sleep all benefit respiratory system health.
