5 Natural Remedies to Clear Lung Mucus

how to clear lung mucus

Clear lung mucus naturally without the need for medication or medical assistance. There are many different ways to help clear your chest of congestion, from lifestyle changes to natural remedies. Having to cough every 5 seconds can get really annoying and can even make people look at you funny.

Luckily for you, this article covers 5 natural remedies that will help you get rid of that pesky chest congestion. These tips will help you lose that discomforting chest phlegm and allow you to enjoy your day much more.

1. Sipping Hot Liquids

Drinking hot tea or soup can help loosen up that stuck mucus in your lungs and make it easier to cough up. The steam from the hot liquid will also help clear out your sinuses, which is always a plus.

Hot lemon water with a pinch of cayenne pepper is especially beneficial for clearing up lung congestion, as it helps to break down any mucus and can help to reduce coughing fits. Adding honey or a small amount of salt to hot water can also be very helpful in loosening the mucus so it’s easier to expel.

2. Steam Inhalation

This method is very effective for clearing lung mucus and can be done with a hot shower or just boiling water in a pot. It also helps reduce any irritation or inflammation in your airways. In addition, steam helps humidify the air, which can further help to ease your coughing and help clear the mucus.

All you need is a pot of boiling water, a towel and some essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint for added health benefits. Simply inhale the steam while covering your head with a towel, giving yourself at least 5 minutes of steam inhalation to reap its full benefits.

A hot sauna bath is another way you can get steam flowing throughout your body. This is because saunas can also help produce very hot steam and the heat helps to promote sweating. It’s also a great way to relax and unwind as well!
