Management of mucus-related respiratory problems through sinus and airway cleaning exercises
By Manikonda Prakash Rao - Oct 15, 2010
The article is the result of a search by the author to cure himself of a crippling asthma, sinusitis and resultant conjunctivitis. He left his legal practice to pursue health. He succeeded. Now at the age of 72 he is fitter than a 40 year old. He hopes to spread the message that it is possible to live without repeated courses of antibiotics, bronchodilaters or nebulisers if you are willing to do exercises.
Airway mucus hyper-secretion and its management through exercise interventions
By Manikonda Prakash Rao - Jul 15, 2015
In mucus-related respiratory health problems, the following changes take place in the airways: inflammation, hyper-secretion of mucus and bronchospasm. Together, these factors cause breathlessness. The author has devised some exercises which are therapeutic tools. They help to cleanse the adhesive mucus from the primary sites of colonisation of pathogens along the mouth, nose, pharynx, sinuses and bronchial airways. They reduce C-reactive protein resulting in decreased inflammation and strengthen the remodelled airways, resetting the biological ageing process. In all, these procedures comprise upper-airway passages cleaning exercises, bronchial airways cleaning exercises and physical, aerobic and yogic exercises. As any mucus-related respiratory health problem commences from the upper-airway passages and spreads to the tracheo bronchial tree, they constitute the same pathway. The mucociliary clearance mechanism becomes defunct when excess and sticky mucus forms. Once cleaned, the defunct cilia become active and ciliate mucus towards the nasal passages, which can be blown out easily. The bronchial airways cleaning exercises help in draining out total mucus from the airways and respiratory and other diseases originating from its pathway come under control. A healthy ageing process commences.
