World Lung Day and the Start of Cold Season – Now’s the Time to Take Care of Your Breathing

2025 , Cold Symptoms

September brings cooler mornings, damp air – and the beginning of cold and flu season. At the same time, 25 September marks World Lung Day, a global reminder of the importance of lung health. So ask yourself: how are you looking after your breathing?

Cold season often starts before you realise it

As children return to school and nursery, viruses start to spread again. The first cold symptoms – like a blocked nose, sore throat or cough – can appear suddenly. In many cases, your airways are already irritated before the illness fully kicks in.

People often turn to nasal sprays and lozenges for quick relief, but true airway care starts deeper – with breathing rhythm and the condition of the mucous membranes.

Why does airway health matter?

Your airway lining (mucosa) is the body’s first line of defence. If it’s dry or irritated, viruses pass through more easily. During cold season, keeping the airways moisturised and supported is one of the most effective ways to help the body’s natural defences.

WellO2 supports your breathing – naturally

The WellO2 device combines warm steam with breathing resistance, creating a unique respiratory training method that supports your airways in several ways:

  • Warming steam moisturises the airways and relieves congestion

  • Breathing resistance strengthens the lungs and helps loosen mucus

  • Calming effect supports recovery and reduces stress

Regular WellO2 training can help maintain the wellbeing of your airways and support your immune system – especially when those around you are unwell.

Who can benefit from WellO2 during cold season?

WellO2 is particularly helpful if you:

  • are feeling early cold symptoms (blocked nose, sore throat, cough)

  • suffer from frequent respiratory infections

  • want to support your breathing and recovery naturally

  • use your voice professionally or are prone to seasonal illness

Your breathing deserves attention. Now is the perfect time to make respiratory wellbeing part of your daily routine.
