💬 Why We All Need Lung SupportYour lungs don’t get enough credit. Every emotion, every breath, every energetic shift — your lungs process it. Add pollution, pollen, heating systems, stress, or post-viral inflammation, and it’s no wonder many of us feel tight, foggy, or downright congested. Essential oils can help open airways, calm coughing, reduce inflammation, and create a ritual of conscious breathing — which is powerful in itself. They've been a staple for me whether I’m dealing with seasonal changes, leftover symptoms, or just need to feel like I can take a full breath again.
