Why does respiratory disease happen?

Respiratory diseases are caused by the build-up of allergens and toxins in the blood. Whatever we inhale through the nose, throat, pharynx and windpipe reaches the lungs through the trachea and when we exhale, in the same way the air leaves the body. This free inhalation and exhalation of breath is the basis of our respiration.

When allergenic particles enter the respiratory tract, our respiratory system tries to stop them in the middle to protect the lungs, this causes difficulty in breathing. Allergens that have already entered the system cause mucus and cough and swelling of the throat leading to obstruction of the airways and difficulty in breathing. This is where respiratory diseases start.
