Removing mucus from lungs naturally enhances respiratory function by thinning and expelling phlegm. Hydration keeps mucus thin, aiding cough productivity. Steam inhalation loosens lung secretions, easing expulsion. Postural drainage uses gravity to move mucus out. Spicy foods like garlic stimulate coughing, clearing airways. Deep breathing exercises strengthen lung capacity, supporting mucus clearance. Avoiding dairy reduces mucus thickness. These methods, validated by respiratory research, optimize lung health without medication.
