Phlegm in the chest, often from infections or allergies, can be removed with natural health approaches that thin mucus and promote expectoration. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil loosens phlegm, easing clearance. Drinking warm ginger tea thins secretions, aiding expulsion. Postural drainage, lying with the chest low, promotes mucus flow. Eating spicy foods, like cayenne, stimulates airway clearance. Avoiding cold foods prevents mucus thickening. These physiologically grounded methods, supported by respiratory care, enhance lung function by clearing mucus and reducing inflammation, offering relief without medications and improving respiratory health.
