Smoking is among the most widespread bad habits in the world. On average about one in six people indulge in it, although differences between individual countries can be significant.
Nicotine
When smoking it’s not just about how to control your willpower. Tobacco contains nicotine, which after inhalation into the lungs quickly travels through the blood to the brain, where it produces a feeling of temporary pleasure and relief from stress.
In addition, nicotine improves mood and speeds up the heart rate. This makes you dependent on nicotine, because the brain craves it whenever it begins to feel stress or when you long for relaxation. So much for the positives.
Lung damage
Unfortunately, smoking also has significant downsides, mainly that it causes serious and over time irreversible damage to the lungs.
If you were smokers for many years, or if you still smoke and want to at least get some of the toxins out of your lungs, we have a great recipe for you.
All you need to do is take it every day for several weeks.
How this drink works
Our drink is fairly simple and consists of only 3 ingredients – turmeric, ginger and onion.
Each of the listed ingredients is easily available and you probably already have them at home.
Even individually they are known for a wide range of healing effects. However, if you combine them, you get a truly powerful and tasty cleansing remedy for the lungs.
Turmeric is used as a cooking ingredient and can also be applied topically. It is widely used in Ayurveda and even current scientific studies report more than 600 of its healing effects.
It contains many vitamins and minerals that have antibacterial and antiviral effects.
Ginger is another popular medicinal herb, especially in traditional Chinese and Indian medicine. It is strongly anti-inflammatory and also helps with stomach problems.
In our recipe we will mainly use its healing properties and its ability to reduce mucus production in the lungs, which often occurs with smoking.
Onion is the last ingredient in our recipe today. Onions contain extremely potent antioxidants and are also known for their anticancer properties, which help in preventing the development of lung cancer from smoking.
Studies have shown that several components of onion suppress the growth of cells of certain types of cancer.
You may not have the most pleasant breath from it, but its healing properties will undoubtedly make up for that.
