Natural remedies for a chest cold focus on reducing mucus, soothing inflammation, and supporting immune function to speed recovery. Hydration with warm fluids like broth thins mucus, while steam inhalation loosens congestion. Honey and ginger reduce throat irritation and fight infection. Avoiding irritants like smoke and incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like garlic strengthens respiratory health. Rest and gentle movement, like walking, promote circulation and lung clearance.
