Chest mucus, often from infections like bronchitis, can be managed naturally by promoting expectoration and reducing inflammation. Hydration with warm fluids like herbal teas thins mucus for easier expulsion. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil opens airways and loosens phlegm. Postural drainage, positioning the chest lower, aids mucus clearance. Anti-inflammatory foods like garlic reduce bronchial irritation, while controlled coughing expels mucus effectively. These science-backed methods enhance lung function, alleviate chest discomfort, and support the body’s natural healing processes without heavy reliance on drugs.
