What Is the Function of the Trachea, and What Can Cause Tracheal Problems? - #15671
I recently started experiencing a strange tightness in my throat, and sometimes it feels like my breathing is slightly restricted. I started researching possible causes, and I came across information about the trachea (windpipe). I never really thought about this part of my body before, but now I’m wondering—how important is the trachea, and what happens if there’s a problem with it? From what I understand, the trachea is responsible for carrying air from the nose and mouth to the lungs. But what happens if it gets inflamed or blocked? Can conditions like infections, allergies, or acid reflux cause irritation in the trachea? Another thing I’m wondering about is whether lifestyle factors like smoking, pollution, or even excessive talking could lead to trachea issues. Can these things cause long-term damage? Since I prefer natural approaches, I also started looking into Ayurveda’s view on respiratory health. Are there Ayurvedic treatments or breathing exercises that can help strengthen the trachea and reduce inflammation? I read that Vasaka, Mulethi, and Tulsi are commonly used for lung health—do they actually work? For those who have experienced trachea issues, what symptoms did you have, and how did you treat them? Did you need medical intervention, or were you able to improve your condition naturally? I’d love to hear what worked for you.
