Natural phlegm relief focuses on thinning mucus, reducing inflammation, and soothing throat irritation. Warm fluids like licorice root tea or broth keep mucus loose, while gargling with saltwater reduces swelling. Honey calms irritation and fights bacteria, and steam inhalation with chamomile opens airways. Anti-inflammatory foods like ginger support recovery, and avoiding dairy prevents mucus thickening. These methods clear phlegm, ease discomfort, and promote healing by supporting the body’s natural processes, offering effective relief without pharmaceutical interventions.
