Chest congestion remedies at home focus on natural mucus clearance and inflammation reduction with proven methods. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil loosens chest mucus, while warm licorice root tea thins secretions. A diet high in anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and leafy greens supports recovery, and gentle chest percussion with thyme oil aids mucus expulsion. Using a humidifier prevents airway drying, and avoiding dairy reduces mucus production. Elevating the upper body during sleep promotes drainage. These expert remedies provide reliable relief for chest congestion at home without medication.
