The respiratory system is one of the most responsive and regenerative systems in the body. Because lung tissue is richly supplied with blood and oxygen, natural approaches—when chosen appropriately—can significantly influence healing, comfort, and long-term resilience. In this wide-ranging and practical class, K.P. Khalsa offers a holistic approach to lung wellness grounded in herbal medicine, Ayurveda, nutrition, and traditional respiratory care.
Students begin by exploring the structure and function of the respiratory membrane and its relationship to hydration, immunity, inflammation, and tissue repair. The class explains why different people experience respiratory challenges differently—such as cold and wet congestion, cold and dry tightness, or hot and inflammatory irritation—and how these patterns determine which categories of herbs and foods are most supportive.
From there, Khalsa introduces a broad, clinically useful toolkit for lung support, including demulcents, expectorants, mucolytics, aromatics, tonics, and topical applications. Students learn how to select herbs and remedies based on constitution, symptom pattern, and stage of imbalance, as well as how to support both acute seasonal challenges and long-term respiratory tendencies.
The class also explores traditional delivery methods—including teas, syrups, jellies, topical chest applications, gargles, nasal oils, and historical smoking remedies—and explains how each method interacts differently with lung tissue and respiratory membranes. Throughout the session, emphasis is placed on practicality: which remedies to keep on hand, how to personalize choices, and how to support lung health gently and sustainably over time.
This class provides a clear, empowering foundation for anyone seeking natural strategies to breathe more comfortably, recover more quickly, and maintain strong, resilient lungs throughout life.
