This panel examines integrative strategies to support respiratory health in the context of increasing air pollution and wildfire smoke exposure. Experts will discuss naturopathic, botanical, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions that help reduce inflammation, enhance lung detoxification, and support immune resilience. Evidence-informed botanicals such as Eriodictyon, Tussilago farfara, Thymus vulgaris, and Glycyrrhiza glabra will be highlighted alongside practical approaches like breathing exercises, environmental modifications, and supplementation. Case-based discussion will provide actionable guidance for clinicians seeking to mitigate environmental respiratory risks in their patients.
