Breaking up mucus naturally involves thinning and expelling phlegm from airways. Hydration keeps mucus fluid, aiding cough effectiveness. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus loosens secretions, facilitating clearance. Spicy foods like garlic trigger productive coughing. Postural drainage moves mucus out using gravity. Avoiding dairy reduces mucus thickness. These methods, backed by pulmonary research, enhance mucus clearance without drugs.
- Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
- Inhale steam with eucalyptus oil for 15 minutes.
- Eat garlic or ginger to stimulate cough.
- Perform postural drainage for 10 minutes.
- Avoid dairy to minimize mucus production.
