Relieving chest congestion naturally focuses on clearing mucus and reducing inflammation with proven remedies. Steam inhalation with thyme oil loosens chest mucus, while warm licorice root tea thins secretions. A diet high in anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and spinach supports recovery, and gentle chest massage with eucalyptus oil aids mucus expulsion. Using a humidifier prevents airway drying, and avoiding dairy reduces mucus production. Elevating the upper body during sleep promotes drainage. These expert remedies, used consistently, alleviate chest congestion effectively without pharmaceuticals.
