Chest congestion remedies naturally target mucus clearance and inflammation reduction with proven methods. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil loosens chest mucus, while warm fluids like licorice root tea thin secretions. A diet high in anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and leafy greens supports recovery. Gentle chest massage with eucalyptus oil improves circulation, and using a humidifier prevents mucus thickening. Avoiding dairy and elevating the upper body during sleep aids drainage. These expert-backed remedies, applied consistently, alleviate chest congestion effectively without reliance on medications.
