Effective natural medicines for phlegm focus on thinning mucus, reducing inflammation, and supporting airway clearance through holistic approaches. Drinking warm fluids, such as herbal teas with ginger, hydrates the body and loosens phlegm for easier expulsion. Steam inhalation with peppermint oil opens airways and promotes mucus drainage. Anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and garlic reduce airway swelling and combat infections. Nasal irrigation with saline clears excess mucus from the upper airways. Avoiding processed foods and dairy prevents phlegm buildup. These methods collectively enhance the body’s ability to clear phlegm naturally, improving breathing and reducing discomfort without synthetic drugs.
