The Lung as Toxin Remover:

The lungs' two most important roles in removing toxins entail the excretion of carbon dioxide in your breath as well as muscular movement that boosts the circulation of lymph and blood. This internal circulation transports toxins to where they can be effectively eliminated.

• Milk Thistle: Laboratory tests showed distinct benefits of milkthistle derivatives in protecting the lung.
