The Lung Cleansing Benefits of Orange Peels

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Although orange peels are a common addition to the compost pile, next time you’re about to toss them, don’t. They’re packed with beneficial compounds and nutrients that can do your body some extra good, especially if you’re suffering from respiratory distress. When toxins or allergens in the air we breathe irritate delicate lung tissue, they can become irritated. Orange peel assists the lungs in cleansing themselves with its redness and histamine reducing properties and actions.

Why is Orange Peel Beneficial?

Like most fruits, oranges are full of nutrients and enzymes that help our bodies perform better. Orange peels are rich in flavonones, powerful antioxidants that help reduce oxidative damage and fight free radicals. Orange peel is also loaded with natural histamine suppressing compounds. If you have allergies or are close to someone who does, you understand how the sleepiness associated with some antihistamines can be just as disruptive as the histamine reaction itself.

Orange peel may provide an alternative. Perhaps one of the most amazing and beneficial qualities of orange peel is its histamine and irritation reducing action, which adds to its already long list of reasons for being highly effective as a lung cleansing herb.

Orange Peel Uses

Although the high concentration of histamine reducing compounds in orange rind are effective at providing support for problematic respiratory indications, its benefits extend further. Orange peel provides effective support against respiratory distress. It has a lung cleansing effect by breaking down and helping expel congestion.

Eating orange peels also provides tremendous benefit. It’s not just the fruit that’s loaded with vitamin C, the rind is too, as well as vitamin A, enzymes, fiber, and pectin. Vitamin C is a fantastic immune system booster that can help fight the symptoms of cold and flu. The taste is somewhat bitter when eaten by itself but many people get used to it, or simply add it to other recipes. In pureed form, orange peel is easy to add to a smoothie or as an extra ingredient in fruit and nut bars. Mixing it with other ingredients can make the taste more palatable.

Dehydrated orange peel powder can even be added to a bath for an aroma therapeutic effect to cleanse the lungs of congestion or other respiratory irritation.

Organic Orange Peel is Best

As a general rule of thumb, it’s always best to opt for organically grown fruits and vegetables; this is especially true for oranges. The amount and effect of pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals used in some commercial growing operations cannot be overstated enough. Simply put, the stuff is poison. The hearty and thick consistency of orange peel, unfortunately, makes it prone to accumulation of toxins. Only organic orange peel should ever be consumed and should still be washed before consuming.

Other herbs that provide beneficial lung cleansing are: osha root, eucalyptus leaf, peppermint leaf, lungwort leaf, oregano leaf, plantain leaf, lobelia flower, and chapparal.

      You will thank me for sharing this info!
      If you feel a cold or flu coming on, this is how to get rid of it. I will explain why after presenting this information.

      Once you feel a cold of flu starting up, get a thick peeling type orange (Navel Oranges are a good choice), peel a good sized peel off the orange. Go blow out your nose as best you can. Wash your face and hands and dry them off. Now pick up that piece of peeling and fold it in half with the outside on the outside of the bend. Squeeze it between finger and thumb till you see a wetness appear. Now hold it close to your nose as possible without touching the face or nose and breath in thru the nose as hard as you can. You will feel better right then and in a day or two the cold or flu will be gone.

      This is what takes place when a cold or flu virus enters you body.
      A virus enters in the warmest place and wettest place which is the nostrils. It enters the inner cavities and sits there multiplying. You nose is trying to get rid of it by becoming runny and some of this drains down the back of the throat and enters thru the lungs or stomach. You immune system can handle that part but since the inner cavities of the membranes of the nostrils are not actually inside the body the immune system can not get to it to eradicate the virus.
      That’s where the use of the orange peel comes in. The peel has something in it called, ascorbic acid which is in that wetness you huffed within the nostrils. It is able to kill viruses on contact. Once dead, the virus no longer multiplies and the immune system handles the rest within a couple days.

      Try it next time you get a cold or flu. My wife thought she was dieing from the flu. I put peeling in hot boiling water and had her breathe in the vapors under a towel. She did this and the next day her flu was almost totally gone! She even felt better after doing this. Me? I have not had a cold in 4 years now and the last one I had, I did it and it was gone the next morning. Vein Arde

        Thank you! I will keep this simple remedy in mind for my family. God bless you!

      My preference is to take quercetin dihydrate to protect my lungs and sinuses. A year ago I tried stopping taking quercetin for a month and only then did I realize quercetin had been giving me energy and keeping my lungs and sinuses clear.

      Mornings I take a 400 mg capsule of SwansonVitamin’s NOW brand “Quercetin with Bromelain,” and I believe it protects my lungs and sinuses. I haven’t had a chest cold in 2 years when I used to take one each winter. I will be decreasing the daily dose to Swanson’s 250 mg quercetin and I think that will be enough. Quercetin also gives me energy.

      To liquefy lung and sinus mucus, for decades I have taken a daily level half teaspoon of the 14 herb “Mrs. Dash Table Blend” seasoning, available at most groceries like Walmart. It should start to clear lung and sinus mucus within 2 weeks or sooner. Increasing the dose doesn’t seem to increase or improve the effect.
      Last Fall I was hoarse and couldn’t clear my throat. I started taking 1/2 level teaspoon daily of the Mrs. Dash Table Blend and my throat cleared the same day. There are several flavors of Mrs. Dash, but only the Table Blend has ever liquefied mucus for me.

      Both the quercetin and the Mrs. Dash Table Blend keep my lungs and sinuses functioning smoothly. I would try quercetin for several months for any lung malady, and I’m glad I take quercetin to hopefully prevent the same.
