Natural chest congestion medicine focuses on loosening mucus and reducing inflammation to ease breathing. Chest congestion, often caused by colds, bronchitis, or allergies, leads to mucus buildup and discomfort. Steam inhalation with hot water or a humidifier loosens mucus in the lungs. Drinking warm fluids like herbal tea or broth thins mucus, aiding expulsion. Spicy foods like cayenne or ginger stimulate mucus clearance. Gentle exercise, like walking, promotes lung expansion and drainage. Avoiding dairy may reduce mucus production in some. Elevating the head during sleep supports easier breathing and mucus clearance.
