Oregano
Oregano is rich in compounds like carvacrol and terpenes that act as lung-cleansing elements. The herb can help reduce inflammation and congestion in the lungs, and improve nasal passage airflow and the health of your respiratory tract.- Drink 2 cups of oregano tea daily when suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems. You can make the tea by steeping fresh or dried oregano in hot water for about 5 minutes.
- To detoxify your lungs, add a few drops of oregano oil to a glass of warm milk or tea and drink it at least once a day.
- Also, use fresh or dried oregano in your cooking.
Peppermint
Peppermint is another good option for naturally cleansing your lungs. Peppermint and peppermint oil contain menthol that helps relax the smooth muscles of the respiratory tract. This promotes effortless breathing and helps clear symptoms of any upper respiratory congestion.A 2010 study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology noted that the anti-congestive, antispasmodic and expectorant properties of peppermint oil helped relax the trachea in rats.
- For strong lungs, chew 3 to 5 peppermint leaves each day.
- To treat congestion, add a few drops of peppermint oil to a pot of hot water and inhale the steam.
- You can also drink 2 cups of peppermint tea daily. To make the tea, add 1 teaspoon of dried peppermint leaves to a cup of hot water. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes.

more tips I found for COPD
I found these tips on https://www.leaf.tv/
Drink herbal tea. Several herbs have expectorant properties. Some of the herbs for tea include fenugreek, thyme, fennel, and cardamom. Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that also helps fight damage to the lungs.
Increase the amount of exercise you get. To clear your lungs of toxins, you need to get them working. Deep breathing and increased blood flow to the lungs help eliminate some of the toxins. If you’ve ever exercised and noticed you begin hacking volumes of mucus, that’s your body’s way of cleaning the lungs.
Take vitamin A to keep your lungs healthy. Two studies involving mice,”Vitamin A Deficiency Injures Lung and Liver Parenchyma and Impairs Function of Rat Type II Pneumocytes” and “Retinoids Have Differing Efficacies on Alveolar Regeneration in a Dexamethasone-Treated Mouse,” show that cigarette smoke depleted the lungs of vitamin A and that the lungs’ air sacks healed once given vitamin A. Improving your breathing helps clear the tar.
Drink plenty of water. Water helps detoxify and cleanse your system. It also provides fluid for the mucus that cleanses the lungs. According to the Mayo Clinic, one recommendation for intake is eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily.

Tips
-
When you quit smoking, it takes a while to start feeling the effects,
but the longer you refrain from smoking, the more the body repairs and
cleans the lungs. Healthy eating habits and exercise simply hasten the
process.

Simplify
Your Possessions –
Too many material possessions
complicate our lives to a greater degree than we ever give them credit.
They drain our bank account, our energy, and our attention.
They keep us
from the ones we love and from living a life based on our values.
If
you will invest the time to remove nonessential possessions from your
life, you will never regret it. Vos Possessions -
Trop de possessions matérielles compliquent notre vie à un degré plus élevé que nous ayons jamais leur donner crédit.
Ils drainent notre compte bancaire, notre énergie et notre attention.
Ils nous empêchent de ceux que nous aimons et de vivre une vie basée sur nos valeurs.
Si vous allez investir le temps de retirer les biens non essentiels de votre vie, vous ne le regretterez pas.

Steam inhalation of the plant can be used for sore throats, and bronchial catarrh (inflammation of the mucus membrane, causing an increased flow of mucus). Externally, it is a medicinal application for skin eruptions and infections. Bergamot’s distinctive aroma, found in both the leaf and flower is wonderful for use in potpourri.

Habitat and Description
Bee Balm is a perennial herb native to Eastern North America. It grows in dry thickets, clearings and woodland edges from Ontario and British Columbia to Georgia and Mexico.

Natural Squirrel Repellents
1. Natural Squirrel Repellents
A natural squirrel repellent is hot and spicy things. Substances like cayenne pepper sprinkled in the garden deters the squirrel from sampling the vegetables once they got to experience the miracle of the Scoville scale.
Similar to mice, squirrels hate the smell of peppermint. They will avoid it because it gives off such a strong aroma.
Another clever way to weaponize your plants is to make a spray using diced-up jalapeño peppers, vinegar and water. Let the solution sit for a day, then spritz the area that attracts the squirrels.
Garlic is a great way to repel squirrels, too. You’re going to want to use the same solution as you did with the jalapeño peppers, only this time substitute the heat with the garlic. The only downside to both of these methods is that you’ll have to reapply the concoction after it rains.
Similar to mice, squirrels hate the smell of peppermint. They will avoid it because it gives off such a strong aroma. Go to a local health food store and pick up a bottle. Put a few drops of peppermint oil on a bunch of cotton balls, then disperse the cotton balls in various areas of the garden. You might also want to think about surrounding your garden with live peppermint plants.
We once heard that by taking an old pair of nylons and loading them with a few mothballs, it keeps squirrels away from hanging around the garden. Just tie the stockings to a 2-foot high tomato stake, but make sure you don’t rest the thing on a plant. You don’t want your vegetables to taste like naphtha.
2. Other Squirrel Repellents
Dogs and cats love squirrels, in a bad way. They’ll chase down any critter that likes to run away from them. As a matter of fact, there’s a breed of dog that was brought into being for the specific purpose of hunting down small creatures. It’s called the Rat Terrier.
Maybe you can’t handle getting a pet, consider erecting a few barn owl houses. A family of these critters can eat quite a few squirrels a week. Talk to your local pet store expert on the best food to use to lure a few barn owls. Once they nest in the box you built, stop feeding them.
In other words, you don’t want to destroy something that actually has a place in the environment. You just want to bug them enough so that they’ll stay out of the veggie patch.
