Smoke Exposure

Supporting Lung Health and Detoxification

The wildfires in California have left a significant impact on our environment and our community—especially on our health. The inhalation of smoke and particulate matter during and after wildfires can affect the lungs, immune system, and overall well-being. Prolonged exposure can also increase the risk of developing serious health conditions, particularly for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory vulnerabilities. Thankfully, integrative medicine offers a range of therapies to support lung health, enhance immunity, and detoxify the body.

 The Importance of Early Intervention

Protecting lung health and addressing smoke exposure as early as possible is critical to preventing chronic conditions. Integrative therapies like Glutathione and B12 injections, IV nutrient therapy, Reiki, and Acupuncture offer holistic support to help the body recover and thrive after the stress of wildfire smoke.

If you or someone you know has been affected by the wildfires, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our clinic. Our personalized approach to care ensures that we meet your unique needs, helping you detoxify, restore balance, and support long-term health. Maintaining lung health and oxygen levels now is more important than ever.
