How to Get Rid of Phlegm and Mucus in Chest & Throat

 

Breathing difficulties and coughs are caused by a nasal obstruction that is often a result of the excessive amount of phlegm accumulated in the lungs. If left untreated, they can cause more severe health conditions.

 

Our body produces phlegm as a way to protect itself from allergies, dust, and viruses, but it thickens in the case of allergens and viruses, in order to trap foreign substances. Yet, when it accumulates in excess amounts, it can lead to bronchial issues and even lung infections.

 

 

However, there are natural ways to clear the breathing pathways and eliminate excess phlegm from the body:
