Chest cold remedies rooted in natural health focus on soothing inflammation, loosening mucus, and boosting immunity. Warm fluids like herbal teas or chicken broth hydrate and thin mucus, while steam inhalation with essential oils like thyme opens airways. Honey soothes coughs and has antimicrobial properties, and foods rich in vitamin C, like oranges, support immune function. Resting adequately allows the body to heal, and a humidifier prevents airway dryness. These remedies reduce chest congestion, ease breathing, and promote recovery by supporting the body’s natural defenses without synthetic drugs.
