Everyone experiences coughing from time to time. Coughing is a natural reflex that helps clear the airways of irritants, mucus, or foreign substances. It is a protective mechanism designed to keep the respiratory system healthy. Are you tired of coughing? Is coughing preventing you from sleeping? Try Hand Reflexology for Cough Relief

 

Coughing can occur in response to various factors, such as respiratory infections, allergies, environmental irritants, or even swallowing incorrectly or choking on your salvia when it goes down into your windpipe instead.Ā 

While occasional coughing is normal and usually resolves on its own, persistent or chronic coughing may indicate an underlying health issue. If coughing persists for an extended period or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and guidance.

 

Why Do We Cough?

Coughing is not exclusively associated with colds and allergies. While colds and allergies are common causes of coughing, many other potential reasons exist. Some of the conditions that can cause coughing include:

  1. Respiratory infections: Besides the common cold, other respiratory diseases like bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, or whooping cough (pertussis) can lead to coughing.
  2. Asthma: Coughing can be a symptom of asthma, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the airways.
  3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Acid reflux can cause coughing when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus and irritates the throat.
  4. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, often involves chronic coughing.
  5. Smoking: Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke can cause chronic coughing and other respiratory problems.
  6. Medications: Certain medications, such as ACE inhibitors used for high blood pressure, can cause a persistent cough as a side effect.
  7. Environmental irritants: Exposure to irritants like air pollution, dust, mold, or chemical fumes can trigger coughing.
  8. Lung conditions include lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, or pulmonary fibrosis, which can cause chronic coughing.
  9. Other systemic conditions: Certain systemic diseases like heart failure or gastroesophageal reflux can manifest with a chronic cough.

 

Manage Cough with Reflexology While Supporting Your Respiratory Health

The points for the respiratory support are located below the fingers towards the middle of the palm. As these reflex points are pressed, it can have a positive effect on the respiratory system in several ways:

  1. Relaxation: Reflexology techniques applied to the solar plexus and diaphragm points can promote relaxation and relieve stress and anxiety by reducing tension in the muscles surrounding the diaphragm. Thus becomes easier to take deeper breaths and expand the lungs fully.
  2. Strengthen lung function: Improved diaphragm function can strengthen its flexibility and range of motion, enabling it to contract and relax more effectively during breathing.
  3. Enhances circulation: Reflexology techniques can increase blood flow and energy circulation throughout the body. Improved circulation can support lung function by efficiently delivering oxygen to the tissues and removing waste products.

 

Self-Care Reflexology Respiratory Therapy You Can Do From Home

Everyone is afraid of contracting air borne bacteria that can affect their respiratory functions. There are many ways you can protect your health by taking basic protective measures.

In the warm months moist air promotes mucus production that coats the nose and respiratory system while trapping harmful pathogens. Whereas during cold months, the air is very dry and there isnā€™t enough mucus production to trap harmful pathogens.

This is an excellent Reflexology protocol to ease the discomforts of respiratory problems such as COPD, Asthma, Emphysema, breath shortage or any other respiratory problems.
