Flowers can give some people allergies!
Many people have respiratory problems especially this time of year, in the spring and summer, people who already have asthma or other respiratory difficulties, have increasing problems. Here are some respiratory symptoms:
Coughing: A protective reflex to clear the trachea, bronchi and lungs of secretion and irritants
Sputum: Coughing brings up secretions known as sputum. Blood in the sputum known as hemoptysis is usually a sign that bleeding is occurring in the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract.
Hoarseness: A symptom caused by an abnormal growth on the larynx, or it may be an infection in the throat
Wheezing: A high-pitched noise that occurs through a narrowed airway. It is seen with asthma, bronchitis and people who have allergies.
Chest Pain: occurs in various forms such as chest tightness, pain when taking a deep breath, or stabbing pain that comes unexpectedly.
There are also more general symptoms of respiratory disorders including: loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, fatigue, cyanosis, sweats and chills.

Cancer of the Respiratory System
High on the list of contributing factors related to cancer of the respiratory tract is smoking. A well-known risk of lung cancer is the inhalation of cigarette smoke.
Generally, the first symptoms of respiratory cancer is a persistent, productive cough. Hemoptysis, spitting up blood, may occur later in the disease process because of the malignancy.
Surgery to remove the cancerous tissue is the major form of treatment along with radiation and chemotherapy.
Smoking
Since smoking is a major factor related to lung cancer and many other cancers, it may be time to think carefully about quitting before you develop some of the signs and symptoms that may lead to cancer.
I know that it is easier said then done, but I have quit smoking, and I know how difficult it can be. I decided the day I turned 40 that it was time! This year on my 58th birthday, it will be 18 years since I have smoked.
I am healtier today because I gave up a terrible addiction.

I wanted to bring awareness to a new, natural way to help respiratory ailments.
Salt Therapy/ Halotherapy helps clients with respiratory and skin ailments like asthma, allergies, COPD, smokers cough, sinusitis, cystic fibrosis, bronchitis, psoriasis, eczema, and much more. The salt’s natural and soothing properties are also beneficial for anyone searching for immune system boosting, relaxing, cleansing, and de-stressing environment.
Salt Therapy/ Halotherapy is 100% natural, safe and drug free. It provides effective relief from respiratory ailments and skin conditions without any side effect. Salt acts like an expectorant, accelerating mucus clearance and improving lung function while killing harmful bacteria and soothing the respiratory system.
A tremendous amount of scientific research has been conducted which proves how salt therapy can help relieve symptoms of respiratory illnesses and skin condition. In fact, a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that long-term treatment in a salt room had a positive impact on lung function and reduced pulmonary exacerbations.
Salt Therapy/ Halotherapy brings you the microclimate found in salt caves and mines in a controlled “cave like” environment. The salt rooms are covered from floor to ceiling with multiple layers of sea salt. During each session Pharmaceutical Salts are crushed in the halogenerator and dispersed into the Salt Rooms. Salt releases high concentrations of negative ions, which increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, gives more energy and creates an environment virtually free of bacteria.
During a 45 min session adults and children can relax, enjoy music, watch TV, play or read in the salt covered rooms while breathing in microscopic salt particles.
There are numerous Salt Rooms, Halotherapy Rooms available within the United States. (Salt Room in Orlando , Florida; Salt Escape in Planto, Texas; Salt Chalet in Los Angeles and Sea Salt Therapy in Campbell Ca
I have heard many wonderful recoveries it might be a good option for people to try.
