The difference between AirPhysio, Aerobika and Mullein
If you, or a loved one, has an obstructive airway issues, there is hope for rebuilding strength and enjoying a more full and active life through lung exercises and nutrition. These programs are designed to improve lung function and improve quality of life.
Airway clearance technique (Oscillating PEP and Herbs)
Oscillating PEP is an airway clearance technique (ACT), where the person blows all the way out many times through a device. Commonly known by their brand names (AerobikA®, AirPhysio®, Flutter®, Acapella®, and RC-Cornet®),
In many cases, herbs such as mullein are known to be gentle expectorants that help clear the airways from mucus and foreign matter. Today, many respiratory therapists recommend the use of pep devices and herbal supplements such as mullein as a way to clear the lungs.
1. Aerobika® Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP)
Aerobika is an airway cleaning device that uses both vibrations and back pressure to clear out mucus from the lungs. It is also an OPEP product made for the same purpose of clearing mucus from the muscles. It majorly works by opening collapsed or weak airways by thinning the loosened mucus, moving them to the larger airways in your lungs where they can easily be thrown out via cough.
- Improves ease of bringing up sputum and improves lung function
- Easy to learn and understand for independent use
- Lightweight and ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand
- Reduces dyspnea and hyperinflation
- Decreases cough frequency and breathlessness
How the Aerobika® Device Works
Aerobika® OPEP system opens up weak or collapsed airways by creating positive pressure and oscillations simultaneously, which helps move mucus to the upper airways where it can be coughed out. How To Use The Aerobika® Device
2. Mullein (Natures #1 lung supporting plant)
Besides pep therapy like Aerobika® natural plants and herbs can also help in airway clearance.
The silvery green leaves and bright yellow flowers of mullein have been utilized for thousands of years in traditional herbalism. This gentle herb has been used extensively in European and North American folk medicine and thus has a plethora of folk tales associated with it. Mullein has been used traditionally as a remedy for the respiratory tract, including bronchitis.
Lung-Supporting Mullein Extract
Mullein is our absolute favorite when it comes to all things lung related. This gentle herb seems to focus its energy in a very effective way in the lungs, and it gets to work fast!
Mullein helps remove any 'gunk' from with the lungs via its gentle yet thorough expectorant abilities. It helps the lungs purge themselves of mucous and phlegm that have taken their fill of toxins, pollutants, and foreign matter so that it can be given healthy replacements.
How Mullein Extract Works
Benefits
Like many herbs used in herbal tea, mullein has natural mucilage which soothes, coats, and protects the respiratory system from the mouth to the lungs.
In many cases, recurring lung issues are wrapped up in an inflammation cycle. Mullein is a gentle anti-inflammatory that focuses on the lungs, so it can help reduce inflammation in the various passages and tissues in the lungs giving way to easier breathing.
Mullein has been traditionally used as a extract and tea by people with COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, inflammation, respiratory allergies, recurring congestion, smoker's cough, exercise-induced lung strain, and anxiety-related breathing issues.
3. AirPhysio® Mucus Clearance Oscillating Positive Expiratory (OPEP) Device
AirPhysio® is a mucus clearance and lung expansion OPEP device. The device uses an all-natural process called Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP). This assists the body’s natural cleaning process of mucus clearance. This helps to maintain optimal hygiene in the lungs and restores lung capacity.
Key Features
Both AirPhysio and Aerobika work to fulfill the same purpose, and both work on the same principle. Here are the features of both AirPhysio and Aerobika –
- They both work rapidly. The user coughs out all the mucus in seconds.
- Safe, effective, and completely natural.
- You do not need any prescription for these.
- Cleaning and disinfection are easy.
- Both of them are certified and qualified for all the tests required.
- Clears the mucus naturally from the airway and many more.
The difference between AirPhysio vs Aerobika vs Mullein extract
Aerobika can be used by children and adults, whereas children cannot use AirPhysio. AirPhysio has another device named AirPhysio Children. However Mullein is a gentle herb and is considered to be extremely safe to take with no side effects. Our extract can be used by children aged 2 years and older.
It is essential to disinfect and clean these instruments regularly. When it comes to cleaning and disinfection, Aerobika comes with a detailed guide for cleaning and disinfection and is also easier to clean than AirPhysio. Mullein extract can be used regularly and doesn't require frequent cleaning unless you decide to share the extract with others.
Aerobika Is comparatively handier and easier to carry as compared to AirPhysio. Also, the size of Aerobika is a little smaller than that of AirPhysio. Aerobika comes with a rotating dial with 5 resistance settings to control or change the device’s efficiency while there is no such dial or feature in AirPhysio. However, this feature is not always helpful, especially for children; the device’s settings must not change by mistake.
The Mullein extract is portable and easy to use. Herbs like mullein deliver the lung supporting properties of herbs into the body in a truly absorbable and friendly way.
Conclusion
All of these products are really good. However, as we saw in the differences between the three, While Aerobika has fairly a better advantage than AirPhysio, Mullein extract is best used along side these lung clearing exercises. Although these products do not require any prescription to purchase, it is suggested to consult your doctor and then decide which one is best suitable for you. We hope this article helped.
