Drink 1 Cup to Clear Phlegm and Mucus From Lungs

today we're going to talk excuse me um today we're going to talk about how to get rid of phlegm that is stuck in your lungs now far too often people reach for over-the-counter medications and they wonder why those treatments don't work and sometimes even have side effects now there's two categories that these medications fit into you have medications that suppress this mucus and then you have medications that pull mucus out that's called an expectorant and of course anytime you suppress a mucus or a cough you may end up having that infection a lot longer and

then you may also weaken your immune system plus you might have some slight minor complications or side effects like vomiting nausea diarrhea constipation and kidney stones now other than that totally fine and I'm describing the one medication that is an FDA approved expectorant all the other ones are things that suppress mucus so of course I think the best thing to do is to look for a natural remedy which I'm going to talk about right now but I do want to mention it's important to exercise your lungs if you have this mucus that's trapped down into

the lower part of your lungs in other words you might want to try alternating breathing to your chest deep breaths through the nose and also then stomach breathing where you're pumping the diaphragm up and down so you can mobilize some of this mucus another important thing to eat a lot of if you can do this is radishes radishes tend to pull mucus from the deeper tissues in your body also as a side note if you have a dry cough there's no mucus but you have this dry cough the usual remedy for that that usually works

like almost 100 of the time is calcium any type of calcium you just take it and it will tend to help get rid of that dry cough great for kids as well as adults in fact one of the medications out there for blood pressure called a calcium channel blocker works by blocking calcium and the side effect from that is coughing okay so in this combination remedy it just involves three simple ingredients in water okay onion okay honey and lemon let's start off with onions onions are basically a natural thinner of mucus they're a natural a

very effective mucous expectorant they will help suppress a cough they especially if it's viral in nature they're high in Sulfur which helps break up the mucus just like a radishes and yes you can eat onions but you also can juice onions if you don't have a juicer what you do is you get a grater and you grate the onions in a little bowl you put that then in a strainer with some maybe paper towel and you push the juice out of it and all you really need is one tablespoon of this onion juice and that's

basically 14.7 milliliters for those people in Europe onions are also one of the highest sources of quercetin okay now quercetin is a natural antihistamine and it has no side effects so it's really good for allergies and mucous production and inflammation and it calms down an overactive immune system so we're going to combine this onion juice with the next thing on the list which is honey now if you can get the Manuka honey that's a little bit better but any of the raw Honeys will work honey has been a known great remedy to suppress coughing to

help as a natural expectorant to help with mucus as an antimicrobial anti-inflammatory I mean think about what these bees do they go around to all of these flowering trees and plants and they pull out the nectar and with that comes a lot of different pollen so we have all these factors that can help your own immune system it's even considered like a natural antibiotic of your respiratory system I mean they use the Manuka Honey on open wounds to help heal like bed sores and Manuka honey if you can get it has this additional X Factor

it's called MGO and this is a chemical that is a very powerful antimicrobial but like I said before you can use any raw honey it will work honey also has naturally hydrogen peroxide which is good to kill pathogens but for upper respiratory infections like the sinus and lower respiratory infections it's an effective remedy and we're going to use one tablespoon that is 14.7 milliliters so we take these first two ingredients we mix it with the third ingredient which is lemon juice right so with the lemon juice you want to use two tablespoons which is 29.4

milliliters and the citric acid in the lemon juice will actually break up mucus the vitamin C will help the immune system and lemon is like this sour somewhat bitter substance which is great to kind of thin the mucus and also cause the mucus to kind of come up so you can get it out of the body now you want to add these three ingredients to a cup of water and you want to drink this three times a day now if you want to add a couple additional things I would add a tablespoon of apple cider

vinegar to this and you can even add some ginger but this is actually a no-brainer are very simple virtually no side effect type remedy for getting rid of mucus now there are other causes of mucus that need different solutions like if you have Gerd where you're having acid reflux coming up through this your valve on the top of the stomach if you haven't seen my video on that which actually got over I think 5 million views I put that up right here check it out
