Cleanse Your Lungs – Elixir for Detox and Respiratory Rejuvenation
Whether you’re still smoking or have recently quit, purging your lungs from accumulated toxins is paramount. Daily exposure to smoke, pollution, or irritants burdens your respiratory system and weakens lung function. But there’s hope: a simple, natural elixir that is easy to make, and powerful in restoring and protecting your lungs and overall well-being.
Why This Elixir Matters
Respiratory Detox
Over time, the lungs accumulate tar, mucus, free radicals, and other noxious substances. This can lead to persistent coughing, shortness of breath, reduced lung capacity, and increased susceptibility to infection. Help your lungs breathe more freely by assisting in their natural detoxification.

Ingredients You’ll Need
1 kilogram of onions (yellow or red—choose whichever is available; red offers higher antioxidant content)
1 small piece (root) of marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), grated (or substitute with freshly grated ginger if marshmallow isn’t available)
1 liter of water
400 grams of raw honey (preferably unfiltered, organic)
Step‑by‑Step Preparation
Combine Honey and Water
Pour 1 liter of water into a pot and stir in the 400 g of honey. Bring gently to a boil over medium heat.
Add Onion and Marshmallow (or Ginger)
Once the mixture begins to bubble, stir in the grated marshmallow root (or ginger) along with the chopped onions.
Simmer with Turmeric
Allow the liquid to return to a light boil. Add turmeric (about 1–2 teaspoons), then reduce the heat to low.
Simmer Until Reduced
Continue to simmer until the volume of the mixture has halved, thickening into a rich elixir.
Strain and Cool
Remove from heat, pour through a strainer to separate the liquid, and transfer the elixir into a clean jar. Let it cool to room temperature.
Store
Seal tightly and refrigerate. This elixir can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
How to Use It
Each morning on an empty stomach: take 2 tablespoons (about 30 ml).
Each evening, roughly 2 hours after dinner: take another 2 tablespoons.
Optionally, dilute in warm water or herbal tea (like chamomile or mint) for a gentler taste.
Expected Benefits
Thins and helps eject mucus, keeping airways clear.
