Breaking up chest congestion effectively involves natural remedies that loosen mucus and improve airflow. Warm herbal teas, like licorice root, hydrate and thin mucus, aiding expectoration. Steam inhalation with thyme oil loosens secretions, making coughing more productive. Gentle chest percussion dislodges mucus for easier expulsion. Consuming raw honey soothes airways and fights infection with antimicrobial properties. Using a humidifier at night keeps airways moist, preventing mucus from thickening. These evidence-based methods, rooted in respiratory physiology, clear chest congestion without drugs, promoting easier breathing and faster recovery naturally.
