Chest congestion can be relieved naturally by loosening mucus and reducing airway inflammation for improved breathing. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal teas thins mucus, aiding expectoration. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil opens airways and loosens phlegm effectively. Anti-inflammatory foods like ginger reduce bronchial irritation, easing congestion. Controlled coughing techniques expel mucus, while postural drainage clears lungs using gravity. These science-backed remedies enhance respiratory comfort, promote mucus clearance, and support the body’s natural healing processes, often reducing the need for medications.
