Chest phlegm, a common symptom of respiratory infections, can be alleviated naturally by thinning mucus and supporting lung health. Drinking warm fluids like bone broth reduces phlegm viscosity, aiding expectoration. Steam inhalation with thyme oil loosens mucus, easing breathing. Anti-inflammatory foods like ginger curb phlegm production by reducing airway irritation. Chest percussion, gently tapping the chest, dislodges phlegm for coughing. Postural drainage positions the body to clear mucus effectively. These methods enhance respiratory comfort, promote mucus clearance, and support natural recovery processes.
