Natural remedies for mucus target its production, thickness, and expulsion through holistic methods. Warm fluids like marshmallow root tea or broth thin mucus, while steam inhalation with thyme oil clears airways. Honey soothes irritation and has antimicrobial properties, and anti-inflammatory foods like garlic reduce mucus production. Avoiding dairy prevents mucus buildup, and a humidifier keeps airways moist. These remedies promote mucus clearance, reduce irritation, and support respiratory health, providing a natural alternative to conventional treatments with minimal side effects.
