Removing mucus naturally involves supporting the body’s ability to thin and expel secretions from the respiratory tract. Hydration is critical, as water and warm fluids like herbal teas reduce mucus viscosity. Steam inhalation with essential oils like peppermint opens airways and loosens mucus. Foods rich in vitamin C, like citrus, boost immunity, aiding infection recovery. Gentle chest percussion, tappin the chest, dislodges mucus for coughing. Nasal irrigation with saline clears upper airways, reducing postnasal drip. These methods enhance respiratory health, promote comfort, and reduce mucus buildup effectively.
