Did you know that the highest amount of mycotoxins accumulate in your nasal mucosa? We inhale about three gallons of air each day. The air we breathe is just as important as the food we eat. Many of us are aware of the toxicity of mold. But how could you know whether you had mold exposure in the past?

You can have mold exposure a decade ago and now it starts to impact your health. Mold exposure contributes to many chronic health challenges, such as a leaky gut, depression, Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, autism, asthma, cancers, etc. Many hidden factors contribute to mold exposure, for example, did you use shampoo to clean your carpet in the past? What about the A/C in your home? Mold can easily grow under the fan. When you walk into a building, how could you know that building didn’t have water leaks in the wall? The spores of mold are invisible, once you inhale mold spores, they can colonize in your nose, your mouth, your ear, and your gut. The spores of mold can also grow in your nails and

hair. If the humidity is very high in your area or your home, mold can easily grow and multiply in the hidden areas of your home. It is
important to check the humidity of your house and keep it around 50% to reduce the risk of mold colonization. Since the highest levels of mycotoxins from mold are in your nose, it is important to cleanse your nasal passages regularly. Mold is only one toxin, but it is a deadly toxin, what about other pollutants in the air from cars, toxic chemicals from perfumes or deodorants, laundry detergents, pesticides, etc.? Your nose is the gateway to your lungs.

Cleaning your nasal passages regularly can reduce mycotoxins in your nose and prevent nasal congestion. Here are a few ways to do it.
