山火煙霧襲多倫多 | 勞惠光醫生分享潤肺紓緩貼士
昨日（7月15日）大多倫多地區空氣質素一度被列為全球最差，卑詩省山火煙霧隨風飄到本地，環境部門發出空氣質素警告，多個戶外活動及煙花表演因而取消。
勞惠光醫生昨日接受《星島日報》加拿大版訪問，分享咗兩個應對煙霧不適嘅方法：
鼻塞、呼吸不暢——按壓鼻樑兩側。勞醫生建議，如果因為煙霧覺得鼻塞、呼吸唔暢順，可以用手指喺鼻樑兩側輕輕按壓，有助紓緩，令呼吸暢順啲。
潤肺湯水紓緩喉嚨不適。如果喉嚨已經開始覺得唔舒服，勞醫生建議可以煲啲潤肺湯水，例如雪耳、百合；情況需要嘅話可以加入魚腥草，煲最少一兩個鐘效果更佳。
隨住山火煙霧影響本地空氣質素嘅情況近年愈趨頻繁，呢類簡單易做嘅紓緩方法，喺日常生活入面顯得更加實用。
Wildfire Smoke Hits the GTA — Dr. Arthur Lo Shares Two Simple Relief Tips
Yesterday (July 15), Toronto's air quality briefly ranked worst in the world, as smoke from wildfires in British Columbia drifted into the region. Environment Canada issued an air quality warning, and several outdoor events, including fireworks displays, were cancelled.
Dr. Arthur Lo spoke with Sing Tao Canada and shared two simple ways to ease smoke-related discomfort:
For nasal congestion — gentle pressure on the sides of the nose. If smoke is making your nose feel blocked or breathing feel harder, Dr. Lo suggests gently pressing along the sides of your nose to help ease breathing.
Soothing soups for throat irritation. If your throat is already feeling irritated, Dr. Lo recommends soups like snow fungus and lily bulb — adding houttuynia (fish mint) and simmering for at least a couple of hours if needed.
As wildfire smoke events become a more frequent part of Toronto summers, these simple, practical remedies are worth keeping in mind.
