Once thought to be a sterile environment, the lungs actually have a dynamic community of microflora that plays a significant role in protecting the respiratory tract and in diseases like asthma.

Although the discoveries around this subject have mostly remained in the lab so far, with a couple clinical studies on the use of probiotics in asthma patients producing mixed results, it is nevertheless a VERY exciting new avenue in the study and treatment of asthma and allergies.
