Congestion and cough can be relieved naturally by targeting mucus and soothing airways. Drinking warm broths hydrates and thins mucus, easing expectoration. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens secretions, reducing cough frequency. Consuming garlic, rich in allicin, fights infections causing congestion. Gentle diaphragmatic breathing exercises improve airway clearance. Using a humidifier maintains moisture, preventing mucus thickening. These physiologically grounded methods clear congestion and calm coughs without medications, leveraging the body’s natural healing processes to restore respiratory comfort and promote faster recovery effectively.
