Natural approaches to managing mucus buildup focus on thinning secretions and supporting respiratory clearance without medications. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal tea reduces mucus viscosity, while steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens phlegm. Avoiding dairy and processed sugars minimizes mucus production. Postural drainage techniques, like lying with the chest lower than the head, aid mucus expulsion. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric supports airway health and reduces congestion.
