Week 1–3: The Ultimate Lung Detox Plan
Mullein Tea – Nature’s Lung Cleanse
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) has been used for centuries to clear congestion, soothe irritation, and expel toxins from the lungs.
Benefits of Mullein Tea:
- Loosens mucus (helps smokers cough up tar)
- Reduces inflammation in bronchial tubes
- Fights respiratory infections (antibacterial properties)
How to Use It:
- Steep 1–2 tsp dried mullein leaves in hot water for 10 minutes
- Drink 2–3 cups daily (best in the morning & before bed)
- For extra potency, add a pinch of ginger or thyme
(For high-quality organic mullein tea, visit our Shop.)
Deep Breathing Exercises – Repair Lung Capacity
Smoking weakens lung function, but diaphragmatic breathing can restore oxygen flow and strengthen lung tissue.
Best Breathing Techniques:
A. 4-7-8 Breathing (Instant Calm + Lung Cleansing)
- Inhale deeply through your nose for 4 seconds
- Hold your breath for 7 seconds
- Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds
➡ Repeat 5–10x daily to expand lung capacity
B. Pursed-Lip Breathing (For Smokers’ Lungs)
- Inhale through your nose for 2 seconds
Purse your lips (like blowing out a candle) and exhale for 4 seconds
➡ Helps clear trapped air in damaged alveoli
➡ Do these daily for 5–10 minutes
Castor Oil Packs – Drain Toxins via Lymphatics
Castor oil has powerful drawing properties that help pull toxins from tissues and improve lymphatic drainage—key for ex-smokers.
How to Use Castor Oil Packs:
- Soak a flannel cloth in organic castor oil
- Place it over your chest & upper back (lung area)
- Cover with plastic wrap & apply a heating pad for 20–30 minutes
- Do this 3x/week (best before bed)
Benefits:
- Breaks up lung congestion
- Reduces inflammation
- Speeds up detox

Avoid These (Slows Detox):

- Processed sugar – weakens immunity
- Alcohol – dehydrates & slows healing
