Chest congestion treatment naturally focuses on loosening mucus and reducing inflammation with expert methods. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil clears chest airways, while warm licorice root tea thins secretions. A diet high in vitamin C from bell peppers boosts immunity, and gentle chest massage with thyme oil improves mucus flow. Using a humidifier maintains airway moisture, and avoiding irritants like smoke prevents worsening. Elevating the upper body during sleep aids drainage. These remedies, grounded in expert knowledge, provide consistent relief from chest congestion without medication reliance.
