* *Haridra* (Turmeric) for its anti-inflammatory action

  🔹 **Dhumapana (Medicated Herbal Smoke):** Can be used under guidance to gradually shift away from tobacco

  🔹 **Diet & Lifestyle:**

* Avoid hot, spicy, and oily foods

* Follow a sattvic diet with fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables

* Practice *Pranayama* & *Yoga* to build willpower and lung strength


### 🌿 Panchakarma Detox:

✨ **Remember:**

True healing starts with *intent* and *discipline*. Ayurveda supports you naturally in quitting and recovering from the damage.
