Treating lung congestion naturally focuses on loosening mucus and reducing airway inflammation to improve breathing. Hydration with warm fluids like broth thins mucus, aiding its removal. Steam inhalation from a hot shower loosens lung mucus, while deep breathing exercises enhance lung function and mucus clearance. Spicy foods, such as wasabi, stimulate mucus flow. Gentle chest percussion dislodges mucus, and warm compresses on the chest improve circulation to reduce congestion. These remedies leverage the body’s natural ability to clear lung congestion, providing relief without the side effects of conventional medications.
