Mucus in the chest, often from bronchitis or pneumonia, can be managed with natural health remedies that loosen phlegm and ease breathing. Steam inhalation with mullein oil loosens mucus, aiding expectoration. Drinking warm licorice root tea thins secretions, promoting clearance. Chest percussion, gently tapping the chest, dislodges mucus. Spicy foods, like chili, stimulate airway flow. Avoiding dairy reduces mucus production. These evidence-based methods, rooted in respiratory therapy, enhance mucus clearance and reduce airway obstruction, providing effective relief without synthetic drugs and supporting overall lung health.
