Breaking up chest congestion naturally focuses on loosening mucus and reducing airway inflammation to improve respiratory comfort. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal teas thins mucus, aiding expectoration. Steam inhalation with thyme oil loosens phlegm, easing airway clearance. Anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric reduce bronchial irritation, alleviating congestion. Controlled coughing techniques expel mucus, while postural drainage clears lungs using gravity. These evidence-based remedies enhance lung function, promote mucus clearance, and support the body’s natural healing processes, often reducing the need for medications.
