The best natural mucus relief involves thinning mucus, reducing inflammation, and promoting sinus and lung clearance without medications. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal teas or broths thins mucus, making it easier to expel. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus or thyme oil loosens thick mucus and eases breathing. Consuming anti-inflammatory foods like ginger or garlic supports respiratory health. Avoiding dairy, which may thicken mucus in some individuals, and irritants like smoke prevents worsening symptoms. Elevating the head during sleep promotes drainage, while rest aids the body’s ability to clear mucus effectively from the sinuses and lungs.
