1. The Urban Respiratory Challenge

City life has its perks, but clean air isn’t usually one of them. Exposure to pollution, seasonal allergies, air-conditioned environments, and daily stress can compromise respiratory health—leading to cough, congestion, frequent colds, and shallow breathing.

Supporting lung function isn’t just for those with existing conditions. In Ayurveda, respiratory care is about prevention, nourishment, and strengthening the body’s natural defenses year-round.

2. Ayurveda’s Approach to Respiratory Health

In Ayurveda, the lungs are governed by the Pranavaha Srotas, a channel of life force. When Kapha accumulates or Vata is disturbed, it can lead to congestion, cough, or labored breathing.

Herbs are used to clear toxins, reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and rejuvenate the lungs. This approach not only addresses symptoms but builds resilience from within.

3. Key Herbs That Support Breathing and Immunity

• Giloy – Immunity Builder & Detoxifier
  A staple in EverHerb Giloy Capsules and Giloy Tulsi Juice, Giloy supports white blood cell production, detoxifies the blood, and strengthens respiratory function—especially helpful during seasonal changes.
• Tulsi – The Respiratory Guardian
  Known as “The Queen of Herbs,” Tulsi reduces cough, clears mucus, and soothes inflamed airways. It’s anti-microbial, making it excellent for colds, flu, and pollution-induced symptoms.
• Licorice (Mulethi) – Natural Expectorant
  Licorice soothes sore throats and helps ease congestion. It also reduces inflammation in the bronchial tubes, promoting easier breathing during colds or allergic flare-ups.
• Ginger – Lung Detox and Warmth
  Ginger’s anti-inflammatory and warming properties support circulation and reduce congestion. It breaks down mucus and helps expel it from the respiratory tract.
• Amla – Vitamin C for Lungs
  Amla, in juice or capsule form, provides antioxidant protection to lung tissue, reduces oxidative stress, and enhances immunity against infections.

4. A Daily Herbal Routine for Lung Health

• Morning: Begin with EverHerb Giloy Tulsi Juice or Giloy Capsules on an empty stomach.

• Post-Breakfast: Take Amla or Licorice Capsules to enhance immune defense.

• Midday: Sip on warm ginger-tulsi tea to reduce congestion and soothe your airways.

• Evening: Use Tulsi Capsules or warm water with ginger for post-work wind down.

Ensure proper hydration, regular movement, and open windows for ventilation where possible.

5. Breathe Easy Again: Arjun’s Story

Arjun, 39, a digital editor in Delhi, often experienced chest tightness and morning sneezing fits—especially during winter smog.

“I started with EverHerb Giloy Tulsi Juice and added Mulethi capsules. By the second week, I wasn’t waking up congested, and my breathing felt clearer—even during peak pollution.”

He now uses these herbs preventively and credits them for reducing his dependency on antihistamines.
