Breaking up mucus in the chest naturally involves thinning secretions and promoting expectoration to ease breathing. Hydration with warm fluids like bone broth reduces mucus viscosity, aiding expulsion. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens phlegm, opening airways effectively. Anti-inflammatory foods like garlic reduce bronchial irritation, curbing mucus production. Chest percussion, gently tapping the chest, dislodges mucus for coughing. Postural drainage positions the body to clear chest mucus efficiently. These science-backed methods enhance lung function, alleviate congestion, and support natural recovery without heavy reliance on medications.
