Congested Lungs Remedy

Congested lungs, often due to mucus or inflammation, can be relieved naturally by promoting respiratory clearance. Steam inhalation with thyme oil loosens mucus and reduces airway swelling. Warm broths hydrate tissues, thinning mucus for easier expulsion. Gentle exercise, like walking, stimulates lung clearance. Spicy foods like ginger trigger mucus flow. Avoiding irritants like smoke prevents worsening. Elevating the head during sleep aids drainage. Using a humidifier keeps airways moist, reducing mucus adhesion. Saline nasal sprays support upper respiratory clearance, fostering lung health without drugs and promoting long-term respiratory function.

  • Inhale steam with thyme oil for 10-15 minutes.
  • Drink warm broths to hydrate and thin mucus.
  • Walk gently to stimulate lung clearance.
  • Eat ginger to promote mucus flow.
  • Use a humidifier to moisten airways.
