Natural health treats chest congestion by supporting the body’s ability to clear mucus and reduce inflammation through diet, hydration, and herbal remedies. Warm liquids like bone broth thin mucus, while anti-inflammatory foods such as turmeric and garlic soothe airways. Steam inhalation with thyme or eucalyptus oil loosens phlegm, and adequate rest strengthens immunity. Avoiding irritants like smoke and dairy prevents worsening symptoms, while herbs calm respiratory tissues for easier breathing.
