The recent fires in Los Angeles have had a profound impact on air quality, leaving many residents grappling with the effects of smoky skies and polluted air. Poor air quality can take a toll on lung health and overall well-being, making it essential to prioritize self-care. Here’s how you can protect yourself and boost your health during fire season:
 

1. Invest in Clean Indoor Air

An Air Oasis purifier is a powerful tool for improving indoor air quality. These purifiers help remove harmful particulates, allergens, and toxins from the air, providing a safe space to breathe freely while staying indoors.
 

2. Support Detoxification with Glutathione

Glutathione, a potent antioxidant, plays a vital role in detoxifying the body and protecting cells from oxidative stress caused by pollutants. Consider supplementing with glutathione to enhance your body’s natural defense mechanisms.
 

3. Hydrate with Nutrient-Dense Foods

Staying hydrated is crucial, especially when battling poor air quality. Increase your water intake and incorporate soups and smoothies packed with nutrients to keep your body hydrated and nourished. Avoid diuretics like coffee, which can contribute to dehydration.
 

4. Epsom Salt Baths

Soaking in an Epsom salt bath helps draw out toxins, soothe respiratory discomfort, and relax the body. This is an excellent way to support your lymphatic system and promote overall health.
 

5. Sweat Safely Indoors

While exercise is important, outdoor activity during periods of poor air quality should be avoided. Opt for indoor sweating through activities like yoga or light stretching, or consider using a sauna or infrared therapy to promote detoxification.
 

6. Try Adaptocrine for Lung Support

The Adaptocrine supplement, available through Fullscript with Dr. Costa, is specially formulated to support lung health and resilience during fire season. It’s an effective tool for fire relief and protecting your respiratory system.
 

7. Enhance Lymphatic Drainage

Manual therapies like lymphatic massage or cupping can help stimulate circulation and drainage of toxins. Book a session with Christian, our local expert based at Costa Lifestyle Medicine, to experience these benefits firsthand.
 

8. Use a Sinus Rinse

Clear out sinus congestion with a saline rinse. Tools like the Sinus Gator are easy to use and highly effective for flushing out allergens and irritants. Check out the instructional video on our Instagram page to learn how to use it correctly.
 

9. Salt Therapy Breath Bong for Lung Cleansing

Inhale pure salt vapors using a salt bong for 15 minutes, three times a day. This natural and gentle form of salt therapy can help clear toxins from your lungs. Visit our Instagram page to see CLM Associate Josie demonstrate the proper technique to maximize benefits.
 

10. Focus on Hydrating Meals

Start your day with hydrating, nutrient-dense meals like smoothies or soups for lunch. Avoid overly processed or dehydrating foods to keep your body balanced and resilient.


Fire season presents unique challenges, but with these strategies, you can proactively protect your health and minimize the impact of poor air quality. From air purifiers to nourishing foods and lymphatic massages, small changes can make a big difference.
