It goes without saying that the lungs are a very important organ. Without them, you couldn’t breathe, and without breath, you cease to exist. They’re a part of the respiratory system, working with other organs and tissues to help you breathe, and every single cell in the body needs oxygen to live.
The lungs are what move oxygen into the bloodstream where it’s carried throughout the body when you inhale. When you exhale, the waste, in the form of carbon dioxide, is removed.
Here are 5 Ways you can cleanse and purify your lungs
1.Deep Breathing Exercises
Practicing deep breathing exercises helps to strengthen your lungs, just like a workout in the gym helps to keep your body fit. It’s one of the simplest things you can do, but also one of the most beneficial.
Deep breathing is simply slowly inhaling while consciously expanding the belly. You allow your ribs to expand followed by your upper chest. Once you’ve taken a full inhale, you’ll exhale as completely as you possibly can by allowing your chest to fall, and then contracting your ribs. 
Repeat this 5-10 times, with the goal to practice once or twice every day.

2.Eliminate Household Toxins
The average household has been estimated to contain about 62 toxic chemicals, which includes chemicals that are part of cleansers, detergents, bleaches, things like chemically-scented air fresheners, as well as a wide range of cosmetics and personal care products. These toxins are all harmful to your lungs, and your overall health. Your first step is to look for chemical-free alternatives to eliminate as many as you can.
3.Improve Your Indoor Air by Adding Plants
You also might want to consider investing in an air purifier to remove allergens and other irritants from the air in your home in addition to indoor plants. Plants not only bring life to any living space, many can help remove toxins as well
Plants like peace lily, snake plant, English ivy can freshen up your home by removing harmful toxins from the air.

4.Get Your Vitamin-D
Research has shown that those with higher levels of vitamin D have better lung functioning. The experts believe that the vitamin helps to lower inflammation, which in turn boosts lung health. So be sure to get outside in the sun for 15 minutes a day in order for your skin to produce its own vitamin D naturally – there’s a reason it’s called the sunshine vitamin.

5.Invest in a Himalayan Salt Inhaler

Salt inhalation therapy has been around for centuries, used to boost lung capacity and overall respiratory strength. Research in the 19th century discovered that breathing the air in salt mines could reduce respiratory problems and irritation caused by air pollution. Salt is a natural cleansing expectorant and can help to reduce excess mucus and a stuffy nose too.
