🌬️ 5 Tips to Detox from Poor Air Quality 🌿

Breathe easy again with these practical strategies to help your body recover from exposure to polluted air:

1️⃣ Neti Pot or Saline Rinse
Clear your nasal passages from airborne pollutants and allergens with a saline rinse. Use a neti pot or spray to flush out toxic fine particles, leaving your sinuses refreshed 💧 (Rabago et al., 2009; Pappas et al., 2016).

2️⃣ Glutathione & NAC (N-Acetylcysteine)
Support your body’s natural detox pathways with supplements like glutathione and NAC, which help neutralize toxins and protect your lungs from oxidative stress (Luo et al., 2015). 🧬

3️⃣ Contrast Therapy
Boost circulation and reduce inflammation with contrast therapy: alternate between hot and cold showers. This method can stimulate your lymphatic system and speed up recovery (Wilcock et al., 2006). ❄️🔥

4️⃣ Shower in the Evening
Wash off pollutants clinging to your skin and hair before bed to prevent further exposure while you sleep. A relaxing evening shower is the perfect way to wind down while protecting your health (Cleveland Clinic, 2023). 🚿

5️⃣ Use HEPA Air Filters
Improve indoor air quality by using a HEPA air filter in your home. These filters trap pollutants, allergens, and fine particles, giving you cleaner air to breathe 24/7 (Barn et al., 2008). 🌱

🌀 Your lungs and body work hard to protect you—help them recover with these simple but powerful steps! 🫁

Progress will follow where there is connection ✨

This particular parent was frustrated after her son spent years in speech therapy with little progress. After a tongue tie revision, myofunctional therapy, speech therapy, and a home program, he is now communicating more clearly with teachers and close family members.

We are so proud to work with our dedicated families 🏆

The development of communication follows a predictable sequence by developing new skills and building upon previously acquired ones for children.

There is an expectation for language and speech to progress over time demonstrating certain milestones by a specific age.

It is important to note that children generally develop these skills at their own pace.

⚠️ The “R” sound has a reputation for being the trickiest sound to master!

⚠️ That’s because there’s so many ways to produce it

Ways to facilitate appropriate tongue placement for /r/ include teaching:

👉🏼Awareness of where the tongue, lips, soft palate, and teeth meet to make sounds
👉🏼 Jaw stability & coordination and strengthening exercises of the tongue
👉🏼Visual and tactile cues
👉🏼Slowly increasing intensity and complexity using drills

✅ Nasal breathing is important for cardiovascular health, oral health, and sleep quality.

✅ Proper lip seal is a result of nasal breathing and can decrease risks of gum disease and cavities.

✅ The entire tongue should be suctioned to the roof of the mouth at rest.

✅ Some swallow patterns, such as tongue thrust, can lead to bloating, acid reflux, and speech sound errors.

👉🏼Where does your tongue sit when your mouth is closed?
👉🏼Do you find yourself mouth breathing during the day or at night?

Some of my all-time favorites ✨

▫️These activities are fun, easy to modify based on goals, and most kids already have them at home!

✅ Fun+ Familiar tools + practice at home = carryover!

Pair with a picture exchange system for kids with limited verbal communication 👄 (Research shows that using picture symbols, such as PECS, can increase verbal communication).

⚠️ A reminder that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes simple is better.
