Breathing Deep Again: Post-Everest Lung Care

Recovering from the Arid Air of the Mount Everest summit

The Respiratory Recovery

The dry, freezing air near the Mount Everest summit can leave your lungs irritated and inflamed. Post-expedition care is vital to healing the respiratory system after the physical toll of Everest trekking.

Humidification is Priority One

Back in a normal climate, use a humidifier to soothe your airways. The 'Khumbu Cough' can persist for weeks after a Mount Everest expedition; moisture is the best natural cure for your lungs.

Low-Altitude Aerobic Flush

Engage in light cardio at sea level to flush the remaining high-altitude CO2 from your system. This helps your lungs return to their normal sea-level volume after the strain of your Mount Everest summit approach.

Anti-Inflammatory Herbal Teas

Teas with turmeric and marshmallow root can reduce the inflammation in the bronchial tubes caused by the sub-zero Everest trekking air. It’s the final stage of your Mount Everest expedition health plan.

Heal the Breath

Your lungs were your engine to the Mount Everest summit. Give them the care and rest they need to ensure you are ready for your next Everest trekking adventure.
