Addressing chest congestion and cough naturally involves supporting respiratory health with hydration, anti-inflammatory foods, and herbal remedies, bypassing pharmaceutical interventions. Warm liquids like broths thin mucus, while steam with essential oils clears airways. Foods rich in vitamin C, like citrus, boost immunity, and rest aids recovery. Avoiding allergens like dairy reduces mucus. These practices enhance lung function and expedite healing.
