Lung congestion, often due to infections, allergies, or asthma, can be addressed naturally by loosening mucus and supporting respiratory health. Hydration with warm fluids like broth thins mucus, making it easier to expel. Steam inhalation from a hot shower loosens lung mucus, while deep breathing exercises improve lung capacity and mucus clearance. Spicy foods, such as chili peppers, stimulate mucus flow. Gentle chest percussion can dislodge mucus, and warm compresses on the chest enhance circulation. These remedies promote the body’s natural ability to clear lung congestion without relying on pharmaceuticals.
